Marshawn Lynch injury update: Seahawks RB active vs. Bears
The Seattle Seahawks running back is listed as questionable for Week 3. We break down the fantasy implications.
Editor’s note: Ian Rapoport is reporting a source said Lynch will play against the Bears.
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch (calf) is listed as questionable for the Team's Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Lynch was held out of practice on Wednesday and returned on a limited basis on Thursday before being held out again on Friday. The Seahawks plan on testing his calf Saturday before making any decisions on his availability.
Fantasy impact: Lynch is shaping up as a game-time decision, which leaves fantasy owners in a bind as the Seahawks don't play until 4:25 p.m. ET. If he is ruled inactive, the carries would likely be split evenly between veteran Fred Jackson and undrafted rookie Thomas Rawls. If active, Lynch would remain a RB1 against the middle-of-the-pack Bears defense that gives the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Owners need to have a backup plan ready to go if Lynch is ruled out and should check back in here for any updates.
