NFL could still suspend Marshawn Lynch for February plea deal

Seattle Time

Jun 08, 2014 · 10:46 AM EDT

A couple of key quotes from Seattle Times columnist Larry Stone's piece on Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch:

My hunch is that Lynch still has some quality miles left in him. And that when it comes to the heat of the season — rather than the speculative nature of the offseason — Lynch will still be the Seahawks’ workhorse, and their go-to offensive weapon.

There’s also the issue of Lynch’s plea deal in February, in which he agreed to a reckless-driving charge rather than go to trial on a DUI charge from his 2012 arrest in Oakland. Lynch’s attorney, Ivan W. Golde, told Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times that he was confident Lynch would not be suspended by the NFL. But given Roger Goodell’s track record in punishing off-field indiscretions, there are no guarantees.

Fantasy Impact: 

While we do believe that the team will follow through and get Christine Michael more involved, Lynch will still be the clear RB1. We currently project him to be the #7 RB in standard formats. But Stone's column is a reminder that the NFL could still suspend Lynch for his reckless driving plea deal (stemming from a DUI charge).

Beat: 'It will be hard' to take Marshawn Lynch 'off the field'

Seattle Times

Seahawks beat writer Bob Condotta on the possibility of the team moving to more of a RBBC with Christine Michael taking some carries from Marshawn Lynch:

"My hunch is that if Lynch is healthy and still as productive as he’s been the past three years that it will be hard to take him off the field a ton. The Seahawks lead with their running game as much as any team in the NFL, and Lynch has been the key to that approach the last three seasons as the Seahawks have risen from obscurity to Super Bowl champs.

"The Seahawks have a unique opportunity to put themselves into rarefied NFL air by repeating as Super Bowl champs this season. While they need to prepare for a possible Lynch-less future that could begin as early as 2015, given his $9 million cap hit for that season, the Seahawks won’t do that at the expense of accomplishing the ultimate goal. And that’ll be the balancing act that figures to determine exactly how much of a by-committee approach the Seahawks ultimately put in place."

Fantasy Impact: 

We currently project Lynch to get 287 touches (254 carries and 32 catches), which represents a 15% drop from last season and he's still #7 in our standard RB rankings.

Veteran backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is the lates...

Veteran backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is the latest member of the Colts to express confidence in RB Trent Richardson, relating T-Rich's struggles to those of former teammate Marshawn Lynch while settling into Seattle after a 2010 midseason trade.

"Marshawn's numbers weren't spectacular either," Hasselbeck said Monday, via the team's official website. "Everyone in the locker room understood he was doing the best he could and was working really hard.

"It's very similar to Trent. He came in in tough circumstances. We say these OTAs matter and training camp matter and preseason matters. To put unrealistic expectations on him after he missed all that with us (was unfortunate). I would definitely expect his numbers to look better this year."

Fantasy Impact: 

Richardson averaged a woeful 2.9 YPC after joining the Colts, but he blames the learning curve he faced after joining a new offense midseason. Since they gave up a first round pick for him, he’ll have the backing of this Colts regime, but OC Pep Hamilton wasn’t afraid to give more work to Donald Brown given the disparity in the quality of play between the two backs. The offseason has gone pretty well for T-Rich — Brown is now out of the way, but the Colts did re-sign Ahmad Bradshaw while Vick Ballard is back from a knee injury. As the #22 RB off the board in the 5th round, it appears that fantasy owners are expecting Richardson to post RB2 numbers. Even that may be a stretch given his career output.

Christine Michael 'making the most' of OTA reps

Running back Christine Michael is getting plenty of reps since Marshawn Lynch has elected to skip OTAs so far, and Michael is making the most of it. Michael has a knack for finding the hole at the line and bursting through it quickly.

There’s no tackling at OTAs, but he would have had some big gains on several plays, and might have taken it to the house a couple of times. Coach Pete Carroll has walked up to Michael a few times after his runs to give him high fives and let him know how much he appreciates what Michael is doing in practice.

Fantasy Impact: 

Michael isn't likely to see a significant role until Marshawn Lynch is no longer in the way, but he's very likely going to be the RB1 in a year or two. Lynch is signed through the 2015 season.
