Analysis: Turbin ran wild with the starting opportunity, gaining 93 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries against the Kansas City Chiefs. At the very least, Turbin should be considered a necessary handcuff to Lynch who is dealing with a potential suspension stemming from a DUI arrest on top of his back problems. Head coach Pete Carroll has said that Turbin will also see a few carries outside of goal-line and short-yardage situations, suggesting he will cut into Lynch's value regardless of whether Lynch is 100 percent.
