The Green Bay Packers offense boasts several threats, but running back Eddie Lacy stole the show with one dominant drive in Friday's preseason game versus the Oakland Raiders.
Eddie Lacy dominant in preseason dress rehearsal
Eddie Lacy asserted his status as one of the top feature-backs in the NFL on Friday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Lacy carried the ball six times for 36 yards, showing great burst while barreling through would-be tacklers. The drive culminated in a one-yard touchdown run, which capped off a drive where Lacy touched the ball on six of seven plays. He stayed in to pass block on an Aaron Rodgers completion to Richard Rodgers.
Fantasy Spin: Lacy is going to be the bell cow of a fantastic offense, and that opportunity alone will translate to plenty of scoring opportunities. But it’s not just opportunity that makes fantasy owners giddy about Lacy, it’s the fact he has the talent to capitalize off of it. Should Lacy fall outside of the top five in fantasy drafts, the owner who takes him will get tremendous value. He is in line for a huge season and remains squarely in RB1 conversation.
