Disagree with Murray. Didn't think he looked great at all. I stand by my sentiment that he's a guy that's only going to get what is blocked for him. I think the announcer must have said "Murray dancing in the backfield" 3 or 4 times last game. I'll pass at his price tag.
Agree - that OL is putrid. I don't know who he has looked good against. St Louis - one of the worst defenses vs the rush? No thanks to his 1st/2nd round ADP.
Um in non-PPR I can see your point but in PPR? That makes him a 2nd round pick. He's a 3-down back in an explosive O who will get all the luv at the stripe.
Murray's challenge will be staying on the field.

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.
He was also playing for a payday last year. He got the money. My bet is that he'll regress to the same guy that Buffalo was happy to send out of town.2011 saw him set (or tie) career highs in games played, carries, rushing yards, yards from scrimmage and TDs. Look back at his last 3 years with Buffalo. He averaged under 3.7 yards/carry and scored 8 TDs in 29 games.
Does anyone have stats to back this argument up? I hear this all the time about guys not playing any more once they sign the big contract. Maybe Lynch just wasn't happy in Buffalo? I understand he's not the sharpest tool in the shed but I don't see him giving less effort in Seattle because he got paid. He seems to like it there and has embraced the Beast Mode persona. I have him ranked 6th just after McFadden and CJ2K.

Tell me how many RBs in the NFL your assertion applies to besides Murray?

I think you'll see a lot more Felix than you're expecting.
 
He is not likely to receive any suspension until at least after the season ends, - regarding Lynch

I keep hearing this but don't know what this is based on. Something his agent said? Something from the league?

I agree it is not good to make sweeping generalizations but Murray has missed games with injuries during 5 of his last 6 years playing football. Do with that information what you please.While you can't predict injuries others that I would have extra concern about are McFadden, Ryan Matthews, Ahmad Bradshaw and possibly Trent Richardson (not sure if durability has always been a concern for him but he had his second knee surgery of the year less than a month ago, that's not what you want from your #1 RB going into your redraft season).

That's what I want to know too. Doesn't the league provide the suspension info to the teams before they have to cut rosters to 53?AFAIK Lynch and Kenny Britt certainly have the potential to receive a suspension.

what about Justin Blackmon? I think he only had 1 offense while a NFL member. so maybe he's in the program now.

Mike Florio talked about it a lot this summer. Lynch has a history with the personal conduct policy, but this is his first hit with the drug policy, so he is not supposed to be suspended.

Yes but I don't think he would be subject to a suspension based upon a first offense.
