NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting the Seattle Seahawks have agreed to trade running back Marshawn Lynch to the Oakland Raiders while swapping late-round draft picks as compensation. The trade is contingent on Lynch passing a physical. (NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact:
In addition, the Raiders and Lynch have agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth a max value of $8.5 million that includes a $3 million base salary, plus, another $2 million if he gains at least 1,000 yards rushing in 2017. In Oakland, Lynch will step into the vacant starting running back job left by Latavius Murray. From a fantasy perspective, Lynch should be viewed a borderline RB1/ RB2 in 2017 who could have a huge year rushing behind a Raiders offensive line that finished the 2016 campaign ranked No. 4 in the league according to Pro Football Focus.
