Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy sat out practice on Thursday due to an ankle injury, according to beat writer Tom Silverstein. He suffered the injury in the team’s Week 2 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
Eddie Lacy misses practice on Thursday, Monday night fantasy appearance looking unlikely
Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy couldn’t practice Thursday, which could mean a start for teammate James Starks against the Kansas City Chiefs. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy impact: Lacy carried the ball three times for nine yards last week before leaving the game on a cart. Teammate James Starks promptly came into the contest and ran the ball 20 times for 95 yards. He finished with a total of 24 touches and quickly became one of the hottest waiver wire additions in fantasy football throughout this week.
Since the Packers play the Chiefs on Monday, it looks like it will be really difficult to gamble on starting Lacy as any last-minute changes to his status wouldn’t allow room for adjustment. Fantasy owners are advised to pick up Starks if possible or use other available running backs unless there is an update on Lacy’s condition over the weekend.
