Fantasy Football 2017: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 5
SIT ‘EM
Projected Points: 6.2. Running Back. Raiders. Marshawn Lynch. 2. player. 28
After dancing on the sideline in week two against the Jets, the Raiders are 0-2 and the Jets are 2-0. Funny how life works, huh? Marshawn Lynch is even worse during that time, rushing for just 30 yards in the last two games combined.
He’s yet to go over 50 yards in a game.
For those who did draft Marshawn Lynch, hopefully you also picked up Jalen Richard, as he could end up being the starting option for the Raiders as the season goes on. Lynch has been one of the most disappointing players so far and I don’t see that changing this week, even if it is against the struggling Ravens.
I wouldn’t advise starting anyone on the Raiders this week, but I’d especially stay away from Lynch. He’s yet to go over 50 yards in a game. Perhaps Beast Mode will be contemplating going back to retirement soon or maybe he just needs time to get back into the game.
Whatever it is, don’t wait up on Lynch to figure it out. Bench him this week.
