Running Back Rank: #26
Overall: #68
Lynch was traded to the Seahawks early in the season and took over as their No. 1 back. He didn't do much until a great showing in the Seahawks playoff opener. Lynch had a memorable playoff run, sealing the upset win for Seattle as he ran by, through and over several would-be tacklers. Lynch finished the game with a season-high 131-rushing yards. Lynch didn't top 100 yards in any other game last season. Lynch averaged just 3.7 yards per carry for the season, having a hard time finding room to run behind a bad Seahawks offensive line. He ran for 737 yards despite playing the entire season. Lynch topped 1,000 yards his first two years in the season, but hasn't reached that mark since 2008. He is 25 years old, though, and doesn't have a ton of work under his belt, so Lynch has time to get it going. Lynch certainly has talent. He is a big back with top speed and big-play ability. He also is a pretty good receiver out of the backfield. He has fought consistency throughout his career.

Lynch is worth a shot as a No. 3 back. He certainly has some upside. You never know, he could be the Darren McFadden of 2011. It could happen. But you can't ignore his past production, which hasn't been good in recent seasons. So take a chance on him as a reserve back and hope for the best. If all goes well for him, he could get you about 1,300 total yards and eight or so touchdowns. |
