Marshawn Lynch dominates for fantasy owners in Seahawks win over 49ers

After a disappointing Week 1, Lynch turned things around in a big way on Sunday Night Football.

USA TODAY Sports

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch carried the team in its 29-3, Week 2 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football.

Lynch rushed 28 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught three passes for 37 yards and scored another touchdown. The three-touchdown performance gave him his first three touchdowns of the 2013 season.

Fantasy spin: Playing with a great defense and solid offensive line, Lynch is poised for fantasy football stardom in 2013 if he stays healthy. The Seahawks will be competitive each week, and Lynch is their primary offensive weapon.

With the passing attack struggling a bit, Lynch has been able to pick up the slack. The Seahawks are 2-0 and Lynch is a big reason why. Talented running backs in high volume offenses, playing for contending teams are at a premium in fantasy football. Lynch fits that bill and should continue to live up to his draft position for fantasy owners.
