This is simply a case of workload concerns for me, and I’m going to step away from Beast Mode before it takes a turn for the worse.

The production has been tremendous, as he has averaged nearly 1,592 yards from scrimmage and 13 total TDs in his three seasons in Seattle.

Now the bad news: He’s had at least 285 carries in all three seasons (300-plus the past two years); no other player has more than one such season in that span. Surely the coaching staff is aware of this disturbing workload trend, and I expect we’ll see Christine Michael a lot more in 2014.

Simply put, I’m going to let someone else draft Lynch in or close to the top five this season.
