Marshawn Lynch is....

Ranked 26th on the Yahoo big board for fantasy football. He is ahead of some very good players. I am sorry I don't have a link, but I am at work, and Yahoo (where I work) is filtered.

Re: Marshawn Lynch is....

if I am not mistaken he is ahead of guys like Edgerin James, Thomas Jones, Adrian Peterson, and Cedric Benson.

Re: Marshawn Lynch is....

Honestly his fantasy stock shouldn't be much higher than Maroney's last year before the season started. Marshawn isn't going to come in and tear it up right away. I hope he does but I doubt it. If he goes in any higher than the 3rd round it's a major reach.

not to mention it remains to be seen whether or not our OL has truly been upgraded. I really like Dockery but I've been excited about OL upgrades in the past only to be disappointed once the season actually started.

Lynch could be a good sleeper pick for fantasy if he's still there a little later but at this point I would grab him as a back up after most of the other positions are set.

IMO, there's a very high possibility that he starts game 1 of the season....

Re: Marshawn Lynch is....

I think a lot of this has to do with the upgraded offensive line, and the probabilty that Lynch will start in week one. Who knows what will happen with the line, but I really think Lynch will have a pretty good year for a rookie. Only time will tell, but he's probably a bit too high in that fantasy ranking, but that tends to happen with first round skill guys, other than quarterback.

if he doesn't start he'll definitely see significant action. But we're talking fantasy here- I'd definitely make him my 2nd RB at this point, unless it's a really big league and all the more proven guys get scooped up early. A few years ago I did a league with 16 teams- it was awful.

Re: Marshawn Lynch is....

I'd have no problem taking him as a second or third back. More as a third though since he's going to lose practically all his goal line carries.

I'd take Lynch over Peterson and Benson and maybe Jones, but not James.

even while he's in az?? i kinda assume ml is gunna start (tho i hate assumptions) and i definately believe him to be a decent 2nd rb borderline 3rd for ff. might not get a lot of td's but if he gets a decent amount of carries he can definately get the yards

Lynch is going to be a beast.

Re: Marshawn Lynch is....

In a league where yards are weighted low against TD's (ex. 20yds = 1pt, TD = 6pts) his value is reduced, but this ranking seems fitting for leagues where yards are weighted higher (10yds = 1pt). I would leave him alone simply because the Bills go up against a slew of tough defenses, especially to start the year. If I'm lucky, he'll be on the waiver wire after the first half of the season, so I can pick him up. He'll go on a late season surge if healthy.

Re: Marshawn Lynch is....

he's a starting running back in the nfl, which means he should be one of the top 32 picks for sure, right?

Re: Marshawn Lynch is....

I think you guys are undervaluing Anthony Thomas' presence on this team, at least for 2007.

I understand lynch was a high pick and he'll get plenty of carries; but I think A-Train is going to start, at least the first half of the season.

I expect Lynch to average around 12-16 carries as a rookie.
