Eddie Lacy felt the burden of a struggling Green Bay offense on Sunday. Lacy rushed 24 times for 73 yards in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He started out the game strong, getting 10 touches in the first quarter. However, once the Eagles began to separate themselves from the Packers on the scoreboard, Lacy began to lose opportunities. In the fourth quarter, Lacy saw just two touches. Many expected Lacy to see better numbers against a soft Philadelphia offense, making Week 10 a bit of a disappointment for the rookie running back.

Fantasy impact: We already know that Lacy can still make plays without Rodgers under center, as evidenced by his 22/150/1 performance in Week 9. The Packers played much closer to the Bears that week. Against the Eagles, they were constantly trailing. They were down by 14 points in the fourth quarter, making Lacy less of a priority on the offense. Lacy will remain a RB2 moving forward. He'll face the New York Giants in Week 11. The Giants have been tough against fantasy running backs lately, but they did just allow 88 yards to Rashad Jennings on Sunday.
