Forced to start two of Lacy, Sproles and Langford in week one of the playoffs. I'm ####ed.

Like rushing for 100 yards back-to-back?
I never said any of that, just giving a Junior a hard time for being our resident authoritarian.. I'll be the resident rebel. Got it?

I wouldn't say that at all.. Depending on the rest of your team of course, but there are many teams who are struggling at RB at the moment. I'm rolling out Ivory & Draughns for a team that finished 11-2

If that were the case Lacy would be breaking the season rushing record and threatening Tomlinson's season TD record
But what about their fantasy owners? Don't these coaches realize they need to throw out all the rules so that we can get our 8.7 points per week?

I Benched him when I found out half the line was hurt and out. That's twice I've posted that....Evidently you can't read eithermaybe there was more to it than just this one time. The other guy was cut altogether. Seems Lacy was given some slack.I get it, fantasy owners don't care one bit about behavior or following the rules. Nor should they. And im sorry you got stuck with him in your lineup. But your juvenile ranting about how McCarthy handled it just sounds like sour grapes. See the manziel thread for other examples of fans who think rules and discipline are stupid. By the way, Green Bay won the game. I'm sure McCarthy has no ragrets. Especially if Lacy's attitude improves as a result. Even a junior high principal would agree.

I'm tempted to start Lacy and Starks. My other options aren't great and maybe the 2 of them will add up to 1 decent RB

Funny, that's who I'm going against this week. My only saving grace is that I have cam, ODB and Antonio Brown. Running back position this year is pretty ####ed
Don't believe you. You're much too bitter about everything. But maybe if you insult me a little more, your luck will improve.I Benched him when I found out half the line was hurt and out.

From Rotowire:
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday that Lacy looks rejuvenated this week, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "I think Eddie has been rejuvenated," said McCarthy. "His work was good today. I look for him to have a very good week of practice and look for him to be productive Sunday."

This is all well and good but we'll have to wait until Sunday morning to make sure Lacy doesn't say a bad word or leaves his dirty clothes on the locker room floor and upsets mother McCarthy

If I bench Lacy, he will go for 150 all purpose and two TD's, using this latest benching as motivation to stick it to everyone that doubted him. If I start him, 10 minutes after kickoff it'll be announced that he was caught licking Crisco off of McCarthy's wife's #### and is benched until further notice.
I'll let everyone know ahead of time what my final decision is so you can plan accordingly.

LOL!
Was coming in here to say now that it sounds like Ingram is done, now would be a great time for Lacy to do whatever he has to do to get on McCarthy's good side.

Alright, let's get serious.
Have the Packers been activating 3 RB's on a weekly basis before last week?
If Crockett is active again I don't think there's any way you can trust Lacy. If he isn't then Lacy's doghouse tenure may be over. He DID have back to back solid games before last week's debacle.
Dallas is going to struggle on offense. GB will probably dominate this game.

Great point about Crockett. I have no idea how GB won that game last week, I don't think the Packers do either. The running game was a mess, I can't imagine they want that again, go with the bellcow, Mike, get the run game back on track and the Packers do better as a whole.

As much as I joke about Lacy, I actually think he has a good game this week. Whatever was ailing him previously appears to be gone, as evidenced by his back to back 100 yard games. Based on McCarthy's comments, Lacy is looking 'rejuvenated'. They gotta know without him running the ball they're in trouble-can't rely on hail mary's every week. Dallas' defense is not very good against RB's and like others have mentioned, GB should get up early and feed Lacy lots of carries.

They have some major OLine injuries right now. Too lazy to look up the details.

Also this. If they have some linemen back and Crockett is inactive I think we can trust a heavy dose of Lacy on the horizon.

Right side was out...center went out. Left tackle went out and they were using their last suited up Olineman at LT for one play (a sack).
Wondering if they told Bakhtiari...don't care how much you hurt, get your ### back in there.

Linsley © still out of practice...Sitton is pretty dinged up but still been playing. Lang and Bulaga coming along slow and could play.
Oline is pretty beat up right now.

Eddie Lacy said he met with coach Mike McCarthy following his benching last week against the Lions.
Lacy said the meeting allowed both to get things out in the open and move forward. McCarthy had nothing but good things to say about Lacy Tuesday, suggesting the back will be given every chance to reclaim his starting spot this week. Lacy will be a risky but high-upside RB2 against the Cowboys.

I have to roll with Lacy or Starks. The only question is should I bench Langford to start both GB RBs.

Just when I thought I was out......they pull me right back in.
Starting him with trepidation and expecting something that will cause him to be on the bench halfway thru the 2nd quarter.

It's not logical or may not be the smartest thing to do but he's in for me.
He's been on my team the past two years and won leagues for me and I just get the thought that, like seasons past, this is his time of the year and I expect him to do it. The Packers need him and he's not the type of personality where he is going to be anything except contrite and get back in there and do his job. So, he's in because I would rather lose with him than try and get cute and get stung the other way.

That's kind of how I feel. I could get cute and start Sproles over him, but there is just as much unknown with that situation. Gotta roll Lacy out there and hope he's back to form.

Thankfully, I'm on a bye this week, so I get to see how they use him. Although, week to week hasn't mattered much for him this year. But I think they start using him a ton. He should be fresh as long as he's healthy. He's only had over 15 carries 4 times this season. No reason for them to not give him the ball and let him go to town.

I'm starting him this week but I don't like my other options very much either. Murray @ Denver, Blount @ Houston or the rookie D. Parker vs NY Giants. I've been going back and forth on starting Parker but I've been burned a few times playing the match ups vs starting the better player.

Have to laugh looking at some of his stat lines this year - 0, 0, 0.9, 0.9, 3, 4..... crazy. Owners are a select group to still be alive to talk about it.

Bulaga and Lang practiced today. Linsley did not...but Tretter has been pretty good at C.
Would be much more of a concern if Bulaga and/or Lang can't go.

Thanks, I was having a heck of time finding that info last evening. I don't know why, maybe it was too early.
