Lynch continues to deal with an abdomen injury that has kept him out of action since Nov. 15, and his absence becomes magnified once again with Thomas Rawls' season over due to a fractured ankle. A committee of DuJuan Harris and Fred Jackson will attempt to fill the void, but the Seahawks backfield remains absent of game-changing talent with its top two running backs sidelined indefinitely.
Fantasy impact: For fantasy owners banking on Lynch to provide a late-season boon to their lineups, odds don’t look so good. With no timetable for return, it may be in the Seahawks best interest to keep their veteran bruiser fresh for a potential playoff run in January, now that their recent win streak has allowed them that luxury.
In the meantime, with a fabulous matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 15, Harris should be added in leagues of all formats. He will be a borderline RB1/RB2 and could alter the scope of fantasy leagues for Sunday's slate of games.
