Marshawn Lynch -- "I'm here so I won't get fined" (1 Viewer)

I got him for cja and Hillman last week which gives you an idea of how his owners are starting to feel. Then I flipped him for Ingram mostly due to age.

 
Anybody else not real excited to just throw Lynch back in the lineup?

I know he has to start in fantasy if he plays, but two ####ty weeks followed by a 22 YO going bonkers in his stead doesn't inspire much confidence. You can't bet against Lynch, but man, a 29 YO with a ton of beast mode miles on him? Ugh. Plus, he got the "crap, we know this won't end well giving an older RB his money but the fans will freak out if we don't" extension.

Anyway, I was scrambling 3 weeks ago to find starting RB's (covered my eyes rolling out the Devonta/Chris Johnson duo that first time) in Lynch's absence. Now, I have a bad feeling throwing him back in the lineup. If he sucks this week, we've got some problems.
I had this bad feeling so I traded him. I got no where near the better end of it but now I dont have to worry about whether to play him or not and that gives me peace of mind.
what type of value did you get for him? In a similar position. I have Forte, D. Lewis, Vereen and Lynch/Rawls. Trying to get WR1/2 value for the Seattle backfield, but not sure that is realistic.

 
I have a 2nd round offer on the table, but it appears to be a late 2nd. I might wait it out or ask for an additional player. If it was an early 2nd, I'd pull the trigger in a heartbeat.

I offered Landry for Lynch last week and was rejected. I thought about offering DT for him but I am hesitant.

I traded Lynch and M Wallace (I have Freeman, Lewis, West, C Mike and Foster) for David Johnson (keeper eligible) and John Brown (I have Landry, Hopkins, A Robinson, Randle ). I was trying hard to land a really solid WR2 and Brown is a guy I like and was really all I could get.

So I know that I didnt get great value, however, if Lynch has one more bad game, I could not have even made the trade I did. And I have been shopping him getting the same, he is done type responses. Im not even sure a big game or two would have changed my league mates minds. And if Johnson does see some time this year, it could be a nice keeper option

 
I'd hold Lynch if I owned him, but I'd try really hard to get the Rawls handcuff. Maybe if Lynch returns this week and looks good, you could buy Rawls cheap.

Seahawks will always commit to the run, and either guy is a RB1 when starting.

 
In a 4 way ( :excited: ) I offered Forsett FOR Lynch looking to shake things up...

That's a very Oakland homer article because it isn't really portraying what is actually happening on the O-line or why Marshawn has been "injured". This is simply wishful thinking that Seattle has cap issues without real research on the matter. It's typical because most fans believe we can't afford to pay everyone what we're paying but the truth is we have a ton of dead money in 2015 for Harvin and Unger. Once that clears Lynch's salary is a non-issue.

 
I think it's a combination of the league catching up the the Hawks, Lynch's skills diminishing, and the terrible Graham trade.

You're never going to get it. There's numerous articles stating the exact opposite and that you don't know what you're talking about, such as this one:

Great link. Lol. Marshawn is running into the age wall. The team is going to erode further as the Wilson deal sucks up their cap space and they need some NFL caliber recoevers, especially if they aren't going to use Graham.

Is the thinking in Seattle that lynch is back next year and starting? Does he have anything left in the tank? With his injuries I'm afraid Seattle will shut him down early this year if they keep losing. Is there any talk of this in Seattle?

None about shutting him down. Hell, we're not out of the playoff race by any means. The Arizona game was a pretty bad loss. Actually, all of the losses have been bad because we've been in the lead in all of them.

It's either Seattle or he retires as far as I've heard. I think Oakland is really just starting to get a little crazy because they aren't eyeing the #1 pick in the draft suddenly.

Laugh if you want, but your big dynasty is a shambles. One Superbowl since 1974. See you in 2050.

 
Very worried because they could beat sfo without him. And by that I mean 10 men on offense and no Rb.

Should they have kept throwing balls to graham last game after he batted about three of them down? He should have had 90 and a td but couldn't catch a cold.

Neither the Seahawks or Packers look very good right now. As far as Lynch goes, it looks like the end is near. If I were Pete Carroll, I'd play Rauls against SF and let Marshawn get a little better for the stretch run. Rauls looks like he has more burst although, obviously, he can't do some of the things that Beastmode can. However, I'm not sure the abdominal thing is a thing that heals in a short time frame.

 
Well, SEA was supposed to find out today whether Marshawn requires surgery or not. I haven't seen news, but they did sign Bryce Brown. Tea leaves?

Marshawn Lynch - RB - Seahawks

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) "needs a couple weeks" to see if he can recover and play again before resorting to surgery.

Lynch visited sports-hernia specialist Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia on Tuesday. It appears they'll bypass surgery for the time being and see if rest and rehab will do the trick. (It probably won't.) Thomas Rawls is locked in as the Seahawks' lead back for the foreseeable future and has high-end RB1 upside.

(Rotoworld) FOX Sports' Mike Garafolo reports "indications" are Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) is expected to miss "about 4-5 weeks" with the hope that he's back by late-December. Analysis: If Lynch misses only the next four weeks in this best-case scenario, that would have him back for Week 16, also known as fantasy championship week, against the Rams. Expecting him back that soon would be wishful thinking, so odds are Lynch will provide zero help the rest of the way. Thomas Rawls is locked in as the Seahawks' No. 1 running back the remainder of the re-draft season. Owners in a... (More)

 
Per NFL.COM LINK

The Seahawks' fears have been realized: Marshawn Lynch is going to miss significant time.


The running back will need surgery to repair a sports hernia and will likely miss the rest of the regular season, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported. The surgery is scheduled for Wednesday morning, according to a source.
Lynch is expected to be out about a month so a return is possible if the Seahawks make the postseason.
Lynch met with noted specialist Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia on Monday to confirm the nature of his abdominal injury after sitting out Sunday's win over the 49ers. Coach Pete Carroll already confirmed that Lynch will not play against the Steelers on Sunday.
Though rookie Thomas Rawls had looked special in Lynch's absence, Carroll and the Seahawks will miss Beast Mode's physical presence in the backfield week in and week out.

Top 10 running backs entering Week 13With the season entering the final quarter of the year, we break down the top 10 running backs RBs as ranked by PFF’s grading system. A running back’s ability to positively impact a game depends on numerous factors, some of which are out of the player’s control (e.g. offensive line play).

2. Marshawn Lynch (90.1), Seattle SeahawksLynch has endured a season full of injuries (he’s likely to miss a few more weeks following surgery to mend a lingering groin injury) and poor offensive line play, but he’s posted the second-best elusive rating among qualifying RBs (79.0), forcing 37 missed tackles on 124 total touches. He is currently in his third-straight year as a top-three NFL RB.
 
Rotoworld:

Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) is active for Sunday's Divisional Round game against the Panthers.

Lynch is playing for the first time since November 15. He's been practicing the last two weeks and should get his usual workload against Carolina's fourth-ranked run defense. Christine Michael will be the change-of-pace back with Fred Jackson occupying a limited role on passing downs. If reports are true that Seattle is likely to move on from Lynch this offseason, this might be Beast Mode's final game in a Seahawks uniform.

End of the line for Lynch? I think he's done in SEA, but do people think he's played his last snap in the NFL? I feel like the only reason Lynch played this year was because SEA threw money at him, and if SEA cuts him this off-season he's going to be very displeased at the amount of money teams will be willing to give him.

Not sure, but I know I posted in one thread that I honestly wasn't worried about him being active against us. He hadn't looked great this year and honestly with so much time off, he had to be a bit rusty/out of game shape. The game flow obviously made him a non-factor in terms of touches, but even when he got some early he wasn't effective. That said, I think the DL was ready and played well in the first half, so maybe next year he has something left in the tank when he isn't hurt. Hard to tell, but with his beast mode style, he's in that camp of RBs that hits a wall quickly. Throw in playoffs and before 2015, he'd been averaging 350 touches a year for 4 years. That takes a toll, especially now that he'll be 30 before next season. Maybe he can make a bit of an impact on the right team, but I think he's going to soon be in the SJax land of ineffectiveness. Too bad, he was a lot of fun to watch (even as a Panthers fan) when he was "on" in games.

Marshawn has never done much against the Panthers. He averages 60 yds on 16 touches and has 1 touchdown in six games. And that average is lower after yesterday.
