Marshawn Lynch sat out Seattle Seahawks practice Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, Johyn Boyle of the Everett Herald reports. Lynch has been dealing with backs spasms in preseason. Robert Turbin will handle the rushing load should Lynch be forced to sit.
Marshawn Lynch Misses Practice Friday, Week 1 Fantasy Status Questionable
Lynch sat out practice Friday for the Seahawks, and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s season opener. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Lynch has been limited in practice throughout the week, so his Week 1 status is still unclear. Unfortunately, the Seahawks are playing in the second set of afternoon games Sunday, doing no favors to fantasy owners who need to set their lineups earlier. At this point, Turbin may be a safer starting option, assuming he will see a fair number of carries with Lynch less than 100 percent. If possible, you may be better off avoiding the scenario altogether.
