The Monday Night Football injuries are one of the worst things in fantasy football, and it's even worse when it's to your first-round pick. Well, Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy is questionable to play against the Kansas City Chiefs due to an ankle injury.
Eddie Lacy injury update: Fantasy value still up in the air for Monday night
Eddie Lacy’s ankle injury is one of the worst to project this week. We break down the fantasy implications.
He suffered the ankle injury on Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks and he was not able to return after being carted off the field. The good news is that Lacy is "hoping to play" on Monday, according to the team's website. He did not practice this week, which makes him a game-time decision.
Fantasy impact: So what is a fantasy owner to do? Ideally, you have running back James Starks on your bench as insurance. If he's gone, you might want to throw Lacy in your flex and look at some deeper options for Monday night. Guys like Chiefs running back Knile Davis could work, or you could give receiver Ty Montgomery or Jeff Janis a desperation look. Hopefully we get another update before the Sunday games kick off.
