Lynch was bottled up in the Week 2 loss to the San Diego Chargers, getting just 10 touches for 63 total yards and a touchdown. After the game, head coach Pete Carroll admitted that Lynch's back started acting up, leading to Wednesday's rest day. He has 187 total yards and three touchdowns on 31 touches through two games.
Fantasy impact: As expected, Lynch's back issue was minor. He will be a full-go for Sunday's Super Bowl rematch. This game probably won't be a blowout -- Denver has Von Miller back from injury and reloaded on defense, signing DeMarcus Ware and Aqib Talib. Look for Lynch to be a bigger part of the game than he was in Week 2, when the Chargers dominated time of possession and didn't let Seattle's offense to get into rhythm. Lynch is a no-brainer RB1 play in all fantasy leagues.
