You just don't know what you're going to get with Marshawn Lynch. On one hand, he's returning after a year off, but on the other, he's been a fantasy juggernaut in seasons past.
If we get a rejuvenated, old school Beast Mode, he'll be just what the doctor ordered for the Oakland Raiders and fantasy teams alike. In his last healthy season with the Seattle Seahawks, we saw a 28-year-old Lynch churn out 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns on 4.7 yards per carry. But he followed that up with an injury-riddled 2015, as he ran for just 417 yards and 3 touchdowns in seven games and six starts.
We project him for 174 rushes, 703 yards and 5.4 touchdowns, which is why, at pick 2.09, he's being overvalued in fantasy drafts.
