Scouting report

SEA RB Marshawn Lynch - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at San Francisco

Marshawn Lynch did not look 100 percent on Sunday and only averaged 3.2 yards per carry. He did get 18 touches coming back from injury and also scored a rushing touchdown, so it wasn't a bad fantasy day for him.

Lynch has had success at times versus the Niners. The matchup is favorable this season as San Francisco is 28th in aFPA to running backs. We expect Lynch to be back closer to 20 touches this week and have more success. But we also think the Seahawks could rely on the passing game more, so that gives us some hesitation with Lynch's rating. Start him as a low-end RB1 for Week 7.

SEA RB Marshawn Lynch - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs Carolina
This week, Marshawn Lynch is listed as probable, which means he will be in uniform Sunday afternoon. He missed two games total and was limited in one other. Lynch will probably go back to his usual workload, which is good news for his owner. He also gets a good matchup against Carolina, who is 22nd in aFPA to running backs. Start Lynch in all leagues and formats, but only as an RB2 for Week 7.

SEA RB Marshawn Lynch - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Cincinnati
So, is Marshawn Lynch healthy? He still has been limited in practice, so the answer is not 100 percent, but the Seahawks feel he will be back in the lineup after missing Monday night.

When Lynch is the game, the Seahawks offense is different and they will need him for Week 5 against a Bengals defense that is 11th in aFPA to running backs. Keep an eye on the injury list and don't forget, Lynch was healthy two weeks ago, but his play was limited. The health issues push him down to a high-end RB2 for Week 5, so watch his status closely.

SEA RB Marshawn Lynch - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs Lions
Marshawn Lynch did not come out of the locker room to start last week's game against the Bears. A back issue that has bothered him in the past flared up and he ended up with only five carries. Health seems to be the only thing that can stop Beast Mode and the lingering hamstring problem that has him limited in practice.

Seattle doesn't play until Monday, so it's an extra day for Lynch to rest. He is a risky play even if he suits up because of what we saw last week. If you have him, start him but only as an RB2 for Week 4 against the Lions average run defense.

SEA RB Marshawn Lynch - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Bears

There is no place like home for Beast Mode, as the Seahawks will host Chicago this Sunday. Lynch, like the rest of the Seattle offense, is off to a slow start. He is also nursing a sore calf and was limited in practice on Thursday.

Lynch is still looking for his first touchdown and has only averaged 3.5 yards per carry in Seattle's two road games to start the season. That should change this week, as the matchup is great for Lynch (who is our No. 1 fantasy running back overall for Week 3). Start him in all leagues and formats.

SEA RB Marshawn Lynch - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Green Bay
Even with Marshawn Lynch's mother complaining on social media, Beast Mode continues to show us his value. He had 23 touches for 104 yards in Week 1. He didn't score any touchdowns, but we will ignore that for now as he will get his share over the next 15 games.

Lynch rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns last season against the Packers. We know Green Bay's defense is average at best. There is no reason to think they will be able to keep the Sehawks offense down, which means a big night coming for Lynch. Start Lynch in all leagues and formats as the No. 1 fantasy RB for Week 2.

SEA RB Marshawn Lynch - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs Rams
The demise of Marshawn Lynch many predicted last year never happened. And there will be some who say Beast Mode will take a step back in carries and production this season. We will believe it when we see it. Lynch remains a consistent top-5 fantasy running back and even with a tough matchup in Week 1 against St. Louis, he will be one of the best fantasy plays on opening weekend. Start Lynch in all formats and watch him rack up points for you.
