Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy "doesn't have high concern" over running back Eddie Lacy's hip injury, according to Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Lacy left Monday's game against the Atlanta Falcons with the injury, though it's now sounding like it was more of a precautionary thing. Four second-half Atlanta touchdowns ended up making it a close game at the end, but the Packers were in control when Lacy exited.

Lacy carried the ball 13 times for 73 yards and a touchdown, and added another 33 yards and a touchdown off of five total receptions. It was a solid game, and it built on an already solid season in which Lacy has carried the ball 188 times for 843 yards and seven touchdowns. He also has 36 receptions for 385 yards and four touchdowns.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners should pay attention to the injury report to see if there are any setbacks, but it sounds like Lacy is fine and his hip injury is not a concern at this point. Fantasy owners can start him with confidence against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15.
