It's not often that a player retires from a perennial Super Bowl contending team, then returns over a year later to play for a franchise that has mostly been a basement dweller for the better part of 20 years. But that's the situation we have with Marshawn Lynch, who now finds himself as a Raider for the 2017 season. Lynch is well known for being one of the most bruising tailbacks in recent history, bringing the kind of grit to the field that isn't common in today's NFL. On paper, his style matches perfectly with the Oakland offense, specifically due to the team's recent efforts to revamp and rebuild their offensive line. The Raiders now boast one of the league's most dominant front fives, which makes for an extremely interesting fantasy situation. Lynch was highly productive even behind a largely mediocre Seattle offensive line, but he may now have the opportunity to break off even more big runs.
Lynch's situation isn't without concern, however. While Derek Carr might not be quite as established as Russell Wilson was, he and the passing game were certainly the focal point of the Oakland offense in 2016 - a reality that is not expected to change much even with Lynch on the roster. But even beyond the concerns of the passing game taking carries from Lynch is the reality that Lynch is not necessarily a shoo-in to get all of, or even the large majority of carries. Second-year backs Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington both had moments where they looked very good as rookies and with Lynch having spent a year away from the game, there are some who believe that his age (31) and general wear and tear will lead to him needing to concede carries to other backs anyway. The Raiders certainly didn't bring Lynch into the fold in order to sit him on the bench, but keep an eye on the other tailbacks on the roster during the preseason and training camp. If Washington or Richard begin to separate themselves from the other, it might be a wise idea to handcuff one of them to Lynch, which would go a long way to securing yourself a potentially elite running back situation.

DeAndre Washington clear No.2 RB in Oakland
"Getting all second-team RB reps"
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Aug 4, 2:07 pm
|  | One thing that is flying under radar: DeAndre Washington getting all second-team RB reps over Richard. (Vic Tafur on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Marshawn Lynch is the default top running back in Oakland but given his age and hiatus from the game, Washington makes for an interesting late-round dart through in redraft leagues. Currently he has the leg up on Jalen Richard for backup duties behind Lynch.
| Marshawn Lynch to see around 200 carries?
Beast Mode may replicate Latavius Murray's workload
By: Doug Orth | Mon Jul 24, 8:20 pm
| | How much does Marshawn Lynch have left in his 31-year-old body after taking a year off? The depth at running back means he won’t have to shoulder a huge load. Something in the range of the 195 carries Latavius Murray had last year should suffice, perhaps less if both DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard see an increase. (The Mercury News)
FFToday's Take: For some reason, early drafters seem to have assumed Lynch would be a featured back, taking him in the middle of the second round on average. The Raiders were obviously happy with the arrangement last season, outside of Murray's inefficiency, so it would be surprising if the Raiders ran Lynch into the ground, especially after a year off. Owners should consider him as a RB2 at best somewhere in the fourth-round area.
