Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 7: Eddie Lacy out vs. Bears

The Green Bay Packers are listing Eddie Lacy as out vs. Chicago in Week 7. Lacy is dealing with an ankle injury suffered in Week 5. Though it did not keep him from playing in Week 6, Lacy re-aggravated it enough that he will now miss this game and possibly more.
Backup running back James Starks is dealing with a knee injury as well and is out for 3-4 more weeks. This is leaving a lot of uncertainty as to what Green Bay’s backfield will look like vs. Chicago, but we know for certain that Lacy will not be part of it.
Fantasy Impact: Lacy was already facing a bad matchup with a Bears defense allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy point to running backs over the past three weeks. Combined with Lacy’s poor play overall this season, he may have been worth benching even if healthy.
Now, there is no question Lacy will sit on the bench this week.
