Lynch entered Week 3 with a calf injury and was a game-time decision against the Chicago Bears, but he couldn't finish the outing. Of course, the Seahawks were up big and didn't need him in the 26-0 home win, and he finished with five carries for 14 yards.
After Beast Mode left, running back Thomas Rawls put on a show, rushing the ball 16 times for a team-high 104 yards. Rawls is just a rookie but it didn't take long for him to leapfrog Fred Jackson. With Lynch up in the air for Week 4, Rawls could wind up starting against the woeful Detroit Lions.
Fantasy impact: Rawls needs to be picked up in all leagues. The Seahawks figure to run the ball a lot and we might see Rawls get 20 touches.
