As we've learned, this likely means a stiff suspension will be handed down to Lynch from Roger Goodell.
Lynch was likely a Top 10 RB on most fantasy football draft boards.
Now he will likely slip into the late rounds in most drafts, especially if his status is uncertain at draft time.

This could work one of two ways. If Lynch's suspension is delayed while waiting for the courts to do their work, Lynch could be a sleeper in later rounds and have some value, especially early in the season.
On the other hand, it could open things up for Justin Forsett and Leon Washington in the Seattle backfield. Neither running back is a star, but Forsett could be a bargain pick-up if he gets Lynch's carries.
Another sleeper in the Seattle backfield to look out for with this news is Allen Bradford, a 2nd year RB from USC, who at 235 pounds could be a factor in the red zone if Lynch misses a big chunk of games.
We'll have to keep an eye on how Pete Carroll handles the carries.
