Anyone not like Eddie Lacy? (1 Viewer)

[Chaka]

To even argue against him at this point just is horrible.

It's actually kind of funny...and a little sad. It mostly funny...and sad.

 

[Sabertooth]

His points per touch is just awesome. I don't own him in any leagues but he's so fun to watch.

 

[unckeyherb]

Yep. I was definitely off with his touches going up, which I'm still surprised about; but his YPC is up (4.25), his receptions are up, his YPR is way up (12 yards per compared to 7 last year) and he is on pace for 12 TD's. I'd love to see Larry's explanation of how Rodgers to Jordy is a bad impact on Lacy still. If this guy ever got 20+ carries a game he'd be unstoppable. As it stands he's a very solid RB1. Hopefully as it gets colder out they start leaning on him a bit more.

Got 20+ for the first time this season and had his best rushing performance to date. coincidence? I hope this is an indication of the team leaning more on him as it gets colder.

To update: He is on pace for 227/977/9 @ 4.36 and 42/487/5 which would be 251 FFP's or RB 6 last year, right behind Marshawn.

No issues linger from Eddie Lacy's illness

 

[Phenomena]

I don't see this as a big game for Lacy ... unless he' takes some long gains on screens (which he has been, I recognize). It's going to be a shootout, 40-37 type game. Rodgers is going to have a big week.

I own Lacy. I need to win this week. The only way I see him having a big game is if he gets a touchdown or two. I see 70 yards rushing and maybe 25 yards receiving. Would I be crazy to start Mason over him? I think Mason is ready to break out, and at home against the Raiders, who now have their win for the season, I think this could be the week.

 

[unckeyherb]

The dude has scored 20+ points 5 out of the last 7 games. Don't know how you could consider benching him, personally.

Agreed! Lacy all the way! Mason? Good but not in the same class as Lacy as of recent. I see more than 25 yards passing this week. Don't over think this, theHoch. Stay with your studs!

He's not just a RB1, but probably the RB1 at this point.

are you still here?

 

[Buffaloes]

have been offered Steve Smith or Maclin for him in redraft and strongly considering...not asking for feedback on this. merely posting it if others are interested in his value.

Funny because at this point I don't think I would give up either Smith or Maclin for Lacy in a redraft.

definitely not smith. Maybe maclin

traded Lacy for Smiff and Moreno back when this was posted. probably the worst fantasy trade I can remember making

another 20+ carry game, another 100 yard performance, another win. Probably time to pack it in on this one.

Updated projected EOY stats: 234 carries/1,025 yards/8 Tds 41 Rec's/470 yards/4 TD's.

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

where would you take him in ppr redraft next year?

 

[Sabertooth]

where would you take him in redraft next year?

#2 right behind Gronk.

That's no lie. I went "by the book" in a couple leagues this year and it just didn't work out. Shady almost cost me a playoff spot. Meanwhile one of the owners laughed at another when they took Forte 1st overall. Not laughing any more.

 

[Shutout]

Yeah, awesomesauce! I drafted Eddie Lacy way ahead of when he should go!

Shocker, you're wrong yet again.Lacy is the #1 RB in PPR in his last 4 games (when you began your incoherent tirade in here). The other guy you blasted, Ingram, has been great as well. You're clueless.

Yeah, I have ODB, Thomas, Gordon, Brees, and Gronk on my team.

Shut the #### up, #######. And stop following me.

eta* And Gore. And C.J. And Mason. And McKinnon. And DET. And Prater. Shhhh...

Your 1.05 RB benefits from bounty. Good job. I said I'd stay out of the Ingram thread, and have. Go home, fly.

What do you know, you're wrong again. You're the clown who started trolling me with this post.Way to brag about that mediocre team btw.

Yeah, and I'd left and said I wouldn't come back. And you have to do this.

I play in a sixteen (now down to fourteen) team league usually, you fool. I'm #1 overall in points. By eighty of them. And #1 HTH.

Have fun with your trolling. You're on ignore from now on. You can't even acquit yourself with dignity in the FFA.

Cheers.

And here you go. #32

You started trolling me about Lacy and Ingram for some reason, and they've both made you look like an absolute fool- I barely had to do anything. Now you get all butt-hurt when I point out just how wrong you were. Oh, well.

You're such a Bama #####.

Just because Larry tucked tail and ran far from this thread doesn't mean we need another terrible poster in here. Just sayin.

LOL.. NO kidding. That big Kool-Aid head was re-posting my quote about how Lacy should at least get 1000/10 this year, every week and then when Lacy caught his groove, he's gone.

Not trying to dog anyone. Just saying it is along season and right now September seems a long way away.

 

[unckeyherb]

where would you take him in ppr redraft next year?

My league is .5PPR/2 Keeper and he was one of my keepers this year (with Montee Ball ). If we were starting from scratch next year I'd take him as probably the third or fourth RB off the board. Charles and Forte before, AD and Shady right after. This is assuming some moves at the RB position (Murray, Lynch, AD all possibly being on new teams).

 

[mphtrilogy]

i like him right around where i got him this year..

for next year:

1 Jamaal Charles RB | KC

2 Matt Forte RB | CHI (if coach stays the same)

3 DeMarco Murray RB | DAL (if he stays on Dall)

4 Marshawn Lynch RB | SEA (if he stays on Sea)

5 Eddie Lacy RB | GB

6 Le'Veon Bell RB | PIT (as long as Roeth is QB)

7 LeSean McCoy RB | PHI

8 Arian Foster RB | HOU

9 Mark Ingram RB | NO (If he re-signs or Signs with IND!)

10 Alfred Morris RB | WAS

11 CJ Anderson???

AP is unranked at this time

 

[Raider Nation]

Hope y'all are enjoying this one, because fat boy is gonna get STONED at the line of scrimmage in Buffalo next week.

 

[Raider Nation]

(Yes, I'll be playing against him.)

 

[georg013]

Glad I didnt listen to the chicken littles in here and jump ship. He is single handedly earning my redraft fantasy berth as we speak. Thanks Lacy. Let me kick my feet up and roll into week 15 super charged.

 

[doowain]

I could be wrong but I don't see a long career for Lacy. He's fat and looks slow footed to me. He will clearly be fantasy relevant as long as he's the starter and Rodgers is there but he is nothing special to me. IMO James Starks flashes more than Lacy.

Fantasy stats are awesome and he's winning people games, but he's not a guy I will buy in dynasty.

 

[unckeyherb]

21.1 points at halftime. Ridiculous.

 

[The Kerminator]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion bud. Whether I'm right or wrong will play out over time. So there is no way to tell if it's right or wrong at this point. Especially with your egregiously unclever "FYP".

ETA: Plenty of "unspecial" RBs hit for a little while in perfect situations. They get drafted really high in fantasy drafts. Spend a few years in relevance and then vanish. Ask Joseph Addai.

 

[Buffaloes]

I'm wrong

 

[doowain]

Eddie!!! Eddie!!!! Eddie!!!

Come on baby. Need another TD, or lot's more yards!! Kid is killing it for me!!!

I was just messing around w/ you. I actually agree that I wouldn't be buying in dynasty for the exact reasons you laid out.

Starks has looked liked crap up until tonight. Have doubts about Lacy all you want. But to say Starks looks better ruins credibility. He looked good TONIGHT because he was facing Atlanta. SMH. I own Lacy in my dynasty league and plan on riding until the wheels fall off. No fear.

There is a difference between "flashes more than Lacy" and being "good". Don't put words in my mouth. In fact I mentioned nothing of last night's game.

Good luck with Lacy but I suspect the wheels will fall off that ice cream truck sooner than you'd expect.

I thought he was overrated. I traded him in the off season for Ray Rice, Stacy and a 1st (gonna be 1.8), because McFadden was my RB2. Crowell and Shoelace carried me to a 1st round loss.

1.8 baby!

Elaborate on the wheels falling off?

Will he get injured or just start sucking?

Eddie Lacy admitted he couldn't finish Monday night's win over the Falcons due to a hip bruise

Tough matchup next week for a banged up Lacy-- gotta imagine Starks will get quite a few touches

So you are going with the looks slow footed and fat angle?

Now no one is going to argue that Lacy is fast or has jukes like Shady and company but Lacy has developed into a rare 3 down power back that has good vision and hands.

I think you could make an argument that the wheels could fall off sooner if he had not developed into one of the best 3 down guys in the league and was completely dependent on lots of rush yards and td's as many of the 2 down rb's are. Lacy is one of the best blocking backs in the league and he catches the ball well out of the back field which will enable him to put up those fantasy points even when the ground game is not going well.

So unless you see an injury forth coming or see a change in his surrounding environment I don't get how you can predict that he will start sucking. In fact, I think due to Lacy not being a dependent guy on quickness and speed should prevent the drop off from being as significant as guys like Chris Johnson and Ray Rice and company when they lose their burst.

Just great. Both Lacy and Julio banged up late. Perfect timing.

I am going to guess it was that deep pass in the end zone that Lacy actually made a beautiful play on but just couldn't drag in all the way as it was pretty well covered. He came up gimpy, but then he sprung up. With little or no basis just looking at it I was worried but I think they rested him because they could at that stage, He was and probably is still very sore.

The @Buf matchup looked rough to begin with, but seeing CJA get few ypc but 3 goal-line TDs is pretty encouraging. Yes, I'm also guessing Starks gets a share but then he has often this year, we're used to that.

As I said before, it's a feeling I have about him considering how running backs that aren't truly special don't stick around in relevance for more than a few years.

The example I gave was Joseph Addai. Drafted high and into a phenomenal situation (Peyton Manning), didn't possess any special abilities, caught passes which inflated his fantasy value.

I could absolutely see the Packers drafting another running back in the next couple years that unseats him. I just don't think he's a premier talent in NFL terms. I'm not talking his current fantasy value.

ETA: And he doesn't "look" slow footed and fat. He IS slow footed and fat.

 

[Touchdown There]

ETA: And he doesn't "look" slow footed and fat. He IS slow footed and fat.

He has quick feet, just does not have long speed. If he lost weight, I do not think he would gain enough long speed to separate from a defensive back, so his weight is where it needs to be for power football.

 

[unckeyherb]

I don't know what you mean-the guy's game isn't being shifty and fast, but that doesn't mean he's not talented. Did you see the screen last night where he took thre steps, got full head of steam and absolutely trucked the ATL LB? Not many RB's in the league can do THAT. Different strokes I guess. He's one of only a handful of guys that can legit stay on for three downs, he can catch and has proven his ability in space when he gets a head of steam, he has a nose for the endzone-on pace for 14 total TDs. I just don't see what you are talking about man.

Clearly you don't get it because your entire defense of him has nothing to do with anything I said.

I said he's not special. He can run over people. Cool. It's fun to watch. Let's see how long that keeps him healthy and relevant.

What did you say? Do you mean the hard hitters quoted below where you say he's fat and slow, give no reason to assume his wheels will fall off, other than a 'feeling' and compare him to a single RB that has no comps in play or build other than dreads? okay.

I could be wrong but I don't see a long career for Lacy. He's fat and looks slow footed to me. He will clearly be fantasy relevant as long as he's the starter and Rodgers is there but he is nothing special to me. IMO James Starks flashes more than Lacy.

What does Joe Addai have to do with anything?
