michaelredd9 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Mike Florio just stated Marshawn Lynch may come back by week 4 or 5. Seattle owns his rights, but he wasn't sure if he'd come back to Seattle or go to another team. Is he a worthwhile pickup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) What??????!!!!!!! I like Lynch, but from a fantasy perspective that would be awful! That backfield is confusing enough. Edited September 8, 2016 by Shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, he may not be. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Lynch is currently “up in the air” about returning to the NFL. The source said that Week Four or Week Five could be the hot spots for a possible unretirement. The Seahawks still hold Lynch’s rights, since he was placed on the reserve-retired list. If he files the appropriate paperwork necessary to end his retirement, the Seahawks will have to decide whether to welcome him back onto the active roster, to trade him, or to cut him. If he returns before the trade deadline, which comes on the Tuesday after Week Eight, Lynch would become a free agent, if released. After the trade deadline, he would pass through waivers, if the Seahawks cut him. (Obviously, at that point they couldn’t trade him.) Lynch has a $9 million salary; the prorated amount of it would hit the team’s salary cap, if he’s reinstated to the active roster. The Seahawks have, by all appearances, moved on; however, the team’s won-loss record and overall effectiveness of its offense will surely be factors in whatever decision the team makes.

heehawks Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Man I love the guy, but what does that do to the chemistry of the team he goes to? I don't think it is a wise decision at all (Rawls owner) . Seriously tho, if he still has it, would love for him to come in and be our short yardage goal line guy if it helps us win games. Not sure the heehawks will take him back that far into the season. Edited September 8, 2016 by heehawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorcher Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 It's just a rumor , but I went ahead and grabbed him in 2 leagues , drop some bench fodder to get him. Right now I have nothing to lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 yeah, but are you going to hold him on your bench for 5-6 weeks? 5-6 weeks until he plays, if he comes back it will be known way before that: for 2-3wks yes I can hold on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I grabbed him in one league, dropped Cameron Artis-Payne...figured it's worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yeah the thing is, when he did play last year he was pretty terrible. But sure, grab him based on the name value and offense but don't be shocked when he either doesn't come back or goes for like 3 ypc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Rear view mirror moves never win FF titles. He would only tow the rock like he has in the past unless injuries deplete that backfield. Do you think he is any type of football shape and do you think SEA isn't tired of his act? ISMHO - nothing to see here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, however, I grabbed him in a couple leagues to try and sell on name value only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphashado Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Grabbing him off the wire is no different than taking a flyer on a deep sleeper with your last pick in the draft. Even a small chance that he could return and get traded to a team that could make him a bell cow by week 6 or 7 makes it worth a round 15 pick. Especially in deep leagues. If nothing comes of it by then, no big deal. Drop him and pick up a different player that will likely never see action on your starting roster either.

stevegrab Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) "Unnamed sources with knowledge of the system... he may want to return..." doesn't mean he will or that anybody will be interested.

michaelredd9 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 I've found it more difficult in the last few years to waste roster space on gambles. 10 or 15 years ago, I'd have 4 or 6 roster spots with junky players after the draft. Talent is way deeper now. It's hard to drop a legit player for a pipe dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
