So none of you are worried about Lynch having a fluke year last year. He will be seeing 8 man fronts with the rookie starting at QB and while he does have the beast mode in him can he survive that without being injured and the fact that the O will not see many red zone chances? And even when they are in red zone Wilson will get some running TDs.... I am not touching Lynch at his ADP
I still think Lynch is one of the safer backs in the league after the big 3 are gone. He is not likely to receive any suspension until at least after the season ends, he gets every red zone carry, he was near the league lead last year in broken tackles and yards after contact, he was the only guy to top 100 yards on SF last year, etc etc. Add to all that he doesnt have many miles on his legs for his age and it makes him a very safe pick in my opinion. Do I take him ahead of the big 3, CJ, DMC? No, but give me Lynch over Forte (good luck scoring TDs with Bush around,) Gore, ADP, Bradshaw, Mathews, Murray, etc. He finished RB5 in my league last year (non PPR) despite the fact that he had a miserable start and he missed a game. No reason to think he can't duplicate that.
