Eddie Lacy injury update: RB is active for Packers, fantasy owners, despite eye injury

Lacy has been dealing with an eye injury caused by irritation from his contact lens, leaving the star running back to describe himself as “very blind” Thursday. Despite that, Lacy practiced at a limited capacity throughout the week. It’s an unusual reason to make the injury report. Regardless, he’s officially active.

Fantasy Spin: It’s business as usual for Lacy Owners in Week 16. Owners should be a little concerned about the Buccaneers’ run defense finding its stride since the Week 7 bye, and being able to boast a 3.9 yards per carry average to opponents on the season. However, it’s like that the Packers will be in control of the scoreboard for most of the game, leaving plenty of opportunity for Lacy to get touches. Lacy can resume his post as a staple in fantasy lineups across the board and is a top-five option.
