Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has undergone sport-hernia surgery. It has been reported that the hope is he'll be back in 4-5 weeks, however, that does appears to be an overly optimistic return date. There is a serious chance his season is over.
Fantasy Analysis:
With Lynch out, Rawls is a must-add and a very solid start until or if Lynch returns. Last week Rawls went off for over 200 yards. While Rawls is solid, it's not fair to expect him to be Beast Mode. Gut feeling, it may be safe to drop Lynch.
