With news breaking recently that Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch had actually been arrested for driving while elated, fantasy football owners should begin paying close attention to rookie back Robert Turbin.

 

Participants get off from DUI's all the time, but Lynch is debatably a special case, as he's had at least two run-ins with the legislation so far in his NFL stint , and also has already served a suspension in the past, also.

 

While it's all speculation in regards to precisely how much time Lynch can skip in 2012, it's noticeably feasible that he can miss anywhere up to 6  games. It all depends if commissioner Roger Goodell will definitely try to send a message or not.

 

If that ends up holding true, or even if Lynch is merely suspended for 2-4  games, the male in Seattle dream owners will desire to possess is Turbin, who has the measurements as well as athleticism to become a feature back in the NFL, regardless of just being drafted in the next round.

 

Leon Washington would even figure into the mix, but Washington is even more of a modification ofa back, as well as most likely would not be a genuine risk to early work. That project must belong to Turbin.

 

The last time I checked, Turbin had not been even being taken as a flier in fantasy  mock drafts. Cedric Benson and Ryan Grant, 2 pros that don't even have projects, are frequently being selected ahead of your man. After all, Turbin is merely a rookie sitting behind Lynch, a guy who just signed a fat long-term offer. Turbin really isn't anticipated to view any real work.

 

 

 

With the capacity of a suspension, Turbin right now matches into the exact same class as guys like Isaiah Pead as well as Ronnie Hillman, and he might debatably also be put on a level in advance of them. Definitely if there is no suspension, Turbin will definitely be hard-pressed to worm his way into a solid function in 2012. However if Lynch is  suspended and  it's for a good amount of  games, you'll be extremely delighted you took a flier on him late in your draft, and also permit Cedric Benson  to rest on the waiver cable where he probably belongs.

 

If every little thing works out for Turbin, he'll be starting a handful of online games and holding RB2 condition!
