While it appears as if he has avoided any harsh punishment from the legal system, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is likely to look at the situation. Considering that Lynch has had past brushes with the law, Goodell probably won’t be too kind to Lynch. A suspension of at least a couple of games seems likely.

All things being equal, Lynch is a very good prospect for the 2009 fantasy football season. He has had two solid seasons and with the overall offense improving, Lynch’s numbers should also improve.

Right now, before any suspensions, Lynch is probably an early second round pick in most 2009 fantasy drafts. If he gets suspended, he could drop to the end of the second round or possibly the beginning of the third.
