Marshawn Lynch totals 121 yards and a score Sunday
by Steve Painter | Sun, Dec 3rd 10:31pm EST
Marshawn Lynch had 17 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown, a healthy 5.9 YPC, and two receptions on three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the visiting Giants. With the touchdown, Lynch joins Adrian Peterson as the only two active running backs with 80 career touchdowns.
Fantasy Impact:
The Raiders are catching on to what fantasy owners knew all along, that in order for the team to be competitive they would need heavy doses of Lynch to augment a solid passing game. But the solid passing game has not materialized, and yet Marshawn has seen increased usage for two weeks in a row now, and Oakland has done well. Owners can be satisfied with their patience and here we are at fantasy playoff time. Oakland travels to Kansas City next week, their defense ranks 28th in rushing yards allowed, at a 4.4 YPC clip.
