Marshawn Lynch News
Free-agent running back Marshawn Lynch said that his agent, Doug Hendrickson, has been in talks with the Seattle Seahawks on a potential reunion. As usual, Lynch isn't expecting much and is said he'll be fine if a reunion doesn't happen. The bruising back turned 34 in April after unretiring for the second time before Week 17 of last season to help a Seahawks backfield that was decimated by injuries. Lynch had 30 carries for only 67 yards and four touchdowns in three games to close out the season. Chris Carson (hip) and Rashaad Penny (knee) are coming off season-ending injuries, so Seattle could be looking for another veteran back. Still, even if Penny isn't ready for the start of the season, the Seahawks drafted DeeJay Dallas in the fourth round, still have Travis Homer and undrafted rookies Anthony Jones and Patrick Carr. At best, Beast Mode would be a low-end, touchdown-dependent RB3/flex if he returned and injuries struck the backfield hard again.
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch certainly gave fans a couple more moments to remember when he bashed and crashed his way into the end zone twice in Seattle's loss to Green Bay on Sunday night. The Seahawks running game wasn't very impressive by yardage, especially if Russell Wilson's scrambles were removed, but Lynch made up for it by bulldozing his way through contact and in. For a player who just rejoined the team on Christmas Eve and only played three games, Lynch's four total touchdowns were quite an accomplishment. He probably won't be back next season, but Seahawks fans will remember him forever.
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has given the people what they want so far, racking up touchdowns in both games since he returned to the team. Fantasy owners should consider him to be credible threat to continue the streak on Sunday as he faces a Green Bay franchise that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Between the cold, the defense's weakness against the run and strength against the pass, and the big game nature, it's a situation custom-built for Lynch. While he'll still share carries with Travis Homer, expect Lynch to get the call in those short-yardage situations that need a bruiser. He came back just for this. He'll revel in it.
