The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Darrell Bevell sent fantasy football types into a frenzy last week when the Seahawks OC hinted at a committee approach to Seattle's backfield come September. Amid waves of praise for second-year runner Christine Michael, Bevell softened his stance Monday. Making no promises for the season ahead, the play-caller pointed out that he's only slicing up the pie now because: (a) it's June; and (b) Lynch is home on his couch. "I was thinking more out here (at OTAs)," Bevell said, per the team's official website. "We're kind of rolling all those guys. Really like what we're seeing from them and just kind of moving them around. That's not our policy (to discuss workload). It's not something we talk about or do that way. So it's just something I threw out there and really was thinking about the OTAs."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com notes, Lynch has amassed 1,002 regular-season and playoff totes over the past three years -- more than any runner in the NFL. With two seasons left on Marshawn's deal, Seattle remains a strong bet to tap him for one more mega-campaign before divvying up its run-heavy approach. RBs coach Sherman Smith said as much last month. Smith, in fact, claimed that taking Lynch off the field
hurts the offense. So while fantasy football owners should have Michael on their radars, they probably shouldn't be bailing on Lynch just yet.
