Eddie Lacy breaks loose for his biggest fantasy game of 2014
It only took Eddie Lacy 13 touches to break 100 yards rushing in Week 5. We break down the fantasy implications.

Prior to Thursday night, Lacy hadn’t rushed for more than 48 yards in a single game this season. His longest run of the night was 29 yards, and both of his touchdown runs were 10-plus yards.
Fantasy impact: It’s easy for owners to get excited and declare Lacy back as a fantasy stud. We might be getting ahead of ourselves with that line of thinking, but Lacy looked impressive throughout the night. He rarely went down on initial contact, fighting for extra yards and knocking multiple Vikings defenders to the ground with powerful runs.
The buy-low window for Lacy is officially closed. Next week, the Packers face the Miami Dolphins. While that's a tougher matchup for Lacy, you should feel confident installing him back in your starting lineup on a regular basis.
