Lacy left the Packers' win over the Seattle Seahawks last week with a sprained ankle. He missed practice on Thursday, but came back for limited sessions on Friday and Saturday. After initially listing him as "questionable" on the injury report, the Packers upgraded him to "probable" on Sunday, suggesting that the ankle is healing up quicker than expected.
Through two games, Lacy has 94 rushing yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. He’s also added two catches for 14 yards.
Fantasy impact: There's still a concern that Lacy will be limited on Monday night, particularly after James Starks played well in his absence against Seattle (20 carries, 95 yards). Lacy could hurt fantasy owners if he ends up being on a snap count this week.
Despite those concerns, it’s still Eddie Lacy. When he’s active, you have to play him in your lineup.
