Despite some minor back issues in recent weeks, Lynch has been for the most part a full participant in every game this year. He hasn’t missed a single game since 2011. Lynch is once again carrying the Seahawks offense, rushing for 852 yards and nine touchdowns while adding 27 catches for 290 yards and three scores.
Fantasy impact: Lynch is in a bit of a kerfuffle after getting fined $100,000 for not speaking to the media, but it hasn't affected his on-field production one bit. He did have a quiet day against the Arizona Cardinals defense but still ended up with 82 total yards on 18 touches. Lynch is an easy RB1 play in all fantasy leagues even against the 49ers' tough run defense. The Seahawks should be leaning on their workhorse back in this crucial divisional game.
