Fantasy Football 2017: Thursday Night Football Start Em, Sit Em Week 7
START ‘EM
28. . Running Back. Raiders. Marshawn Lynch. 3. player
For those of you who have read my fantasy football posts all season long, you’ll know that I’m not big on Marshawn Lynch. He’s been a bit overhyped this year, but this is a game that you should start him for.
When [Lynch] gets going, he can be a really dangerous runner and nearly impossible to stop.
Why, you ask? Well because the Kansas City Chiefs are atrocious at stopping the run. Last week, Le’Veon Bell carved them up for nearly 200 yards on the ground.
Now Lynch is no Le’Veon Bell, at least not these days, but when he gets going, he can be a really dangerous runner and nearly impossible to stop. If the Chiefs run defense couldn’t bring down Bell, then good luck to them trying to stop the guy that some call Beast Mode (I really hate that nickname).
Lynch should find the end zone and will get at least 70 yards on the ground. A big question mark, however, will be how many carries the Raiders decide to give Jalen Richard. Richard is the younger option, but Lynch still appears to be Oakland’s number one guy for now.
