Eddie Lacy getting more and more reps in camp

Aug 07, 2013

Two days after he rumbled for 65 yards on eight carries in the Green Bay Packers' intrasquad game, rookie running back Eddie Lacy was the featured back in practice. Lacy lined up as the starter in at least two team drills and easily had the most snaps of those competing for the halfback job.

Lacy got about three snaps to every two James Starks and Johnathan Franklin received and continued to display an upward curve. It was probably as much work Lacy has received in relation to the others and clearly showed he has left questions about his weight and fitness behind him.

Fantasy Impact:

Lacy figures to be the top fantasy back in Green Bay given his ability to run the ball and wear down opponents in the 4th quarter. Johnathan Franklin is a threat, but he's been struggling in pass protection, so he may have a minor role with Lacy as the lead back. Lacy is a good RB3/RB4 type with upside.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
