The Seattle Seahawks offense barely had the football on Sunday. Their time of possession was 17:45. That's not a lot of time for playmakers to make their mark for the week. However, Marshawn Lynch was able to find the end zone despite limited opportunity. Lynch finished with six carries for 36 yards and caught all four of his targets for 27 yards and a touchdown. The San Diego Chargers did everything they could to keep the ball out of Lynch and the rest of the offense's hands on Sunday, leading to Chargers win at home.
Marshawn Lynch continues to find end zone for fantasy owners

Fantasy impact: There’s really no reason for concern here. There simply wasn’t much of an opportunity to feed Lynch as the Seahawks couldn’t establish much of an offensive rhythm. The Chargers were successful in keeping the ball in their hands for most of the game, but it’s unlikely other teams will consistently succeed with the same game plan. The bottom line is: Lynch is an every-week RB1. With all things considered, fantasy owners should be thankful for the consolation of a score from Lynch on Sunday.
