2012 Outlook: Gamble (high risk)

Last updated on Aug-10-2012 by Shawn Larabee

Lynch had a career year in 2011 and it earned him a rich four-year contract extension. He was in line to carry the load again this season and was shaping up to be an early-round target in fantasy drafts until his July 14th arrest for driving under the influence.

UPDATE (7/27): Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio believes the NFL can't suspend Lynch without a guilty verdict in his DUI case. Lynch has pleaded not guilty and a lengthy court battle would at least help him avoid suspension in 2012.

2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	2.09	FFToday.com - Here is something I haven't done in a while, double up at RB to start a draft. If Brady was available here he would have been tempting, but I probably still pass on him, and the WR are fairly interchangeable at this point. Lynch looks like the last of the expected workhorse RB who... uh... find the end zone once in a while (S-Jax). Not much flash to the Seahawks but I do like their commitment to the run. Lynch tore it up the second half of last season. Skittles power!
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	2.10	FansFantasyFootball.com - All these QB's are sooo tempting here, as well as the WR's, but as its been said before with QB and WR very deep...and RB thin fast, I go with one of the few one back guys here. The DUI last night is a concern but Lynch will get the ball a ton.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	3.06	DraftSharks.com - I'll go RB-RB-RB for the second time this draft season. Lynch gets the slight edge over FredJax because he doesn't have CJ Spiller around. The fact that he's my 3rd runner mitigates the suspension risk. It also gives me 3 potential top 6 backs. The other positions are plenty deep enough to make this work.
