Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was held out of practice for the second day in a row on Thursday. Lynch is listed on the injury report with calf and rib issues, but he's not expected to miss Sunday's game with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy owners probably shouldn’t worry about Marshawn Lynch’s missed practices
Marshawn Lynch has yet to practice this week, but it shouldn’t affect his Week 11 status. We break down the fantasy implications.

Lynch also missed two practices last week, but was not slowed down in Week 10. He feasted on the New York Giants, rushing for four touchdowns and 140 yards on 21 carries while the Seahawks as a whole racked up 350 rushing yards. The Seahawks mixed in Robert Turbin and Christine Michael as the game got out of hand in the second half, but Lynch still played on 43 of 64 offensive snaps.
Fantasy impact: The rib injury is new, but the Seahawks are mostly giving their workhorse back some rest as they head into the stretch run. The Chiefs defense is not an easy matchup, but Lynch should still be starting in all fantasy leagues. The Seahawks will need to rely on him more than ever with the passing offense stuck in neutral.
