Marshawn Lynch signs with Oakland

Two year deal places him behind one of the best offensive lines in the league on an offense that passes better than he ever had in SEA. Should be interesting if he is fresh and has not lost a step.

I don't think there is a snowballs chance he makes it anywhere close to the 4th round,  I would love to have him on any of my fantasy teams this year.

 

He didn't look good in 2015.  He looked like he was breaking down.  I doubt they'll give him 250+ carries this season.  And he has never gotten a lot of receptions.  He is a high risk/low ceiling player.  I think he's a 7th or 8th round flyer.

I'm wrong on this point.  Pro Football Focus gave a rating of 86.2 to Marshawn in 2015.  That was second best in the NFL.  In other words, they said that he was awesome but only averaged 3.8 ypc because his offensive line was atrocious.  Knowing that he was still playing at a high level in 2015 makes me far less concerned that he won't return at a high level.  He was banged up in 2015 but he had only missed one game in the previous 5 seasons.  That is as durable as possible for a running back.  

 

Marshawn is going to the best situation conceivable.  He has little competition and will be playing behind a great offensive line on a team that should be playing with a lead and scoring a ton.  Some have guessed that they'll limit his carries to keep him healthy.  I don't think that is possible with Marshawn.  He thinks of himself as a warrior and would create a lot of drama if his carries were limited.  He might have even demanded as a condition to signing that they guarantee him a heavy workload.  His adp is 39.40.  I'm buying.
