After initially looking like they wanted to hold on to Marshawn Lynch, the Buffalo Bills have agreed to a trade that will send Lynch and his Beast Mode to the Pacific northwest.

The Seattle Seahawks who have been a bit of a surprise so far this season, have struggled in the ground game, mainly because their O-line has not been successful in creating running lanes. The addition of Lynch won't help the line any, but it gives Seattle another weapon.

Fantasy Outlook:
Pete Carroll has already indicated that they plan to use Lynch a lot. That's great that he'll get plenty of work, but his value will be kept in check for 2 main reasons. First, the offensive line and Second, he is still going to be part of an RBBC and splitting his carries with Justin Forsett.

Speaking of Forsett, his value takes a huge hit with the addition of Lynch. Forsett was already lacking in production, having a season high 65 rushing yards week 4, and he has yet to find the end zone. He can now be dropped in most leagues.

Either way, we won't get to learn much more about Lynch's impact in Seattle until Week 6 as the Seahawks take their Bye this weekend.
