Anyone not like Eddie Lacy? (3 Viewers)

TRich 2.0

Damn those Alabama backs!PS How many Big Macs did Lacy eat to get that big? Anyone who thinks he isn't bigger than last seasons, get your eyes checked. The reason I'm stating this is that it's obvious the weight is a major issue with his performance

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

What a beating. No brainer first round pick this year. Ugh.

 

[Shutout]

I just traded his fat #### for Char West. PPR redraft league. In case anyone is wondering about trade value.

Sounds like the other guy just got a steal

Yikes! One guy got a guy that has won me titles for two years. The other guy got a guy with two games on his resume who plays for a team whose head coach couldn't even utilize their legitimate star RB correctly. If Lacy runs for a flat 40 yards a game every game for the rest of the year, I think the Lacy owner still wins. West may be standing on the sideline watching Davis in as little as a month.

Update?

its not a two-three week thing. ff requires a great deal of accepting ups and downs.a year ago at this time you would have said the same thing about nile davis and what would you have now?

the league is littered with examples like these...and many bitter owners who want it perfect, right away.

 

[kOOk]

LOL

Just picked up Bigfoot. Thanks!

You're welcome.

 

[kOOk]

Numnuts? Really? Is that how spell it?

You've invited research, so speaking of such, what do have him projected at for the 2nd half of the FF season?

Nobody really cares to see you two bicker.

And really nobody cares to see kOOk troll and muck up another thread.

......

he's right, dude.

Um, no. Way to state your case btw.

The reason he fell in the NFL draft was fear of a degenerative foot condition. Many teams had him off their board completely.

Have a feeling his foot issue will just get worse with time. Wouldn't touch him in dynasty.

What foot issue? His injuries this year have been a high ankle sprain and now today his groin.

Lacy left game with groin injury. Q to return

Does he really have a groin injury? Or was he benched? Groin injury could have him out. That's a big detail.

FF players are a fickle bunch. Yes he's sucked and yes it was almost the same story last year. Nobody can tell me with a straight face that GB is just flat out not gonna have a running game down the stretch. They're going to win that division, and it'll get ironed out.

That said the worst possible outcome for FF players is a pure rbbc. Gotta hope one of the two guys takes the job here.

I don't think this is a situation of owners being fickle. This is a RB in his prime with 2 top 10 finishes in his first 2 years that was a very safe first round pick with arguments made as high as first overall at draft time who is now on pace for about 650 yards rushing and is being outplayed by a 30 (ok 29) year old backup. Will he improve down the stretch? I mean I guess it cant get much worse.. so probably? But it will likely be too late for many many owners and I don't think its going to get very good at all.

Huge bust. Pun intended.

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

Say you have both he and Starks and the groin proves a non issue.. doesn't miss any practices this week etc. Start Starks over Lacy vs Det?

Trading Lamar Miller for Eddie Lacy in week 5, with a huge ####-eating grin on my face, might have sunk my fantasy season. That's just great.

 

[Todem]

I don't see how Lacy is startable the rest of the way until 2013/14 Eddie lacy shows himself in a game. And even then he has really looked awful.

Starks has taken over it seems. I would be starting Starks if I did not have better options.

 

[Shutout]

I have broken my rose colored glasses. Even I, leader of the original bandwagon, have pulled into a rest stop to rethink this.

 

[BigBlue_RI]

Say you have both he and Starks and the groin proves a non issue.. doesn't miss any practices this week etc. Start Starks over Lacy vs Det?

At this point I think I am starting Starks. I have a very weak RB2 situation but I can't even bring used to start Lacy over Antonio Andrews. I just wish I could trade the depth I have at receiver to get an RB but it's such a bad position this year that few fantasy teams, at least in my league, are willing to trade without a kings ransom. Darn you Lacy!

 

[Todem]

In my one and only redraft 12 team standard scoring he was taken #1 overall.

OOOOOFFFFF.

Now that same guy took Devonte Freeman late. So he is hanging in there. But this is a huge blow as his season has been up and down every week. One guy can't win you a league....but your first round pick can sink you if you miss on a few others. He picked up Starks though late as well as a smart handcuff...I think he will be starting him going forward. He also drafted Tevin Coleman so Freeman was his handcuff too. Guy hit big on his handcuffs.

This may go down as one of the biggest top 3 pick busts in a long time if this pace holds through the end of the season.

I think I agree. Taking this the other direction..if Lacy were to miss the game, Starks is a top 10, maybe top 5 option at home against the poor Lions.

I am holding out hope Eddie misses the game otherwise it's gonna to be a mess as to what to do with that starting spot in the lineup. I know I have no other good options.

 

[Skoo]

Eddie Lacy exited Week 9 against the Panthers with a groin injury.

Lacy had been almost completely phased out of the offense after fumbling in the second quarter, but the injury knocked him out of the game for good. Lacy finished with just 10 yards on five carries, and he now has less than 50 yards rushing in all but two games this season. In a year of first-round busts, Lacy has been perhaps the most disappointing of all. Even if he plays this week, Lacy will be nothing more than a touchdown-or-bust RB3 against the Lions.

To be fair, the Packers as a whole are ALL underperforming against their baseline of the past two years. I'll get down on him and give him his grief, too, but I'm not going to make him the goat and say he is suddenly terrible because a lot of what makes him (and a lot of RBs) able to be effective depends on other factors moreso than most positions.

The defense has got to be able to create the game flow that allows the RB to carry the ball and get into a groove. Starks seems to be the "pass catching" RB for the Packers so when they aren't dictating the game like they usually do, I think that hurt Lacy as much as anything.

Its very different when they are up 24-10 with a half to play vs. trailing the entire game.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

It's an interesting stat on RW right now about GB faring badly on 3rd down conversions and speculating that that is tied to the run game failures on early downs. The team is underperforming as a whole but it's possible the Packers coaching staff could see the RB as being one major cause of that and seek to fix it because they have to. Having said that I've never thought Starks a special runner, and again this has been a brutal stretch of StL, Den, Carolina, with SD and a bye squeezed in, and the schedule is getting a lot better soon. But the SD game was the real tell because there Starks took advantage of the good matchup while Lacy flubbered.

This is true.

But what's concerning to me is that Lacy just doesn't look good. It's not like he's averaging 5 yards per carry but just isn't getting enough touches.

I admit I haven't been watching whole Packers games all year or anything, but the only play I can recall this year where he looked remotely good was that TD run against Denver last week.

 

[kOOk]

If you want to read some fun FF stuff, go back two or three pages on this one . . . to early October.

The excuses are everywhere, it's fascinating.

1. Eddie is just now getting into shape.

2. Lacy is fine, must be working through an injury.

3. Packers are saving him for the second half.

4. After the bye he will be fine.

5. When the weather gets cold, look out!

6. I would trade for him, great buy low.

This is like last call, when nobody wants to admit it's over.

Bottom line is if he doesn't stop eating - and starts giving a #### - he's toast.

 

[Kitrick Taylor]

Starks is below replacement level as a talent. He knows the system well, and won't get Rodgers killed. Bottom line is he shouldn't be your starter. As a Packer fan, the unfortunate reality is that he's playing far better than Eddie Lacy this year. Thats how bad Lacy has been. He's fat and slow. I don't think this one is going to turn around this season.

Before you shovel dirt on a grave and call it "over", understand that Eddie Lacy isn't the only player in NFL history to have a rough patch, especially when injury was part of the equation. I'm pretty sure it was over for Tom Brady about three years ago, Reggie Wayne was written off 5 years before he did slow down, everyone and their brother said Chris Ivory would never stay healthy more than 2-3 games at a time, Mark Ingram was an absolute after thought...until he wasn't, I personally wrote an incredibly long post here making a case for people to stop selling Dez Bryant and to go get him. We see how that worked out.

The list is enormous but the point is Eddie Lacy has already done a lot more than most players that most people want to say its over on. Watching the Packers it is obvious that the entire team is off. Yes, it's looking like a lost year or very close to it but to say it's over is crazy. And the way this season has went, we might be here 5 weeks now saying "Thank you Eddie Lacy! You turned it on just when I needed you."

 

[Leroy Hoard]

What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

 

[monk]

While I agree Lacy hasn't looked great ... I think this is more of a case of people pilling on and making a bad situation look worse then it is.

Despite being fat and injured Lacy is Avg 3.71 yds per carry ... Through the 1st 4 games of the season and prior to his injury he averaged 4.6 per carry

Starks who everyone is all of sudden raving about is avg 3.26 yds per carry in 7 out of 8 games ... Yes he has had 1 ridiculous good aberration of a game and has stunk worse then Big Foot the rest of the time.

 

[zoonation]

Lacy is droppable in redraft. Anyone who watched that game yesterday should see it. Even if he is healthy he is the second string less effective back and has no PPR value at all. He looks slow, is not getting YAC and is getting out played by Starks in every way. FF wise, he is a poor man's Ryan Mathews.

I don't think anyone is raving about Starks. He is a middling talent and a backup RB. But he has been productive. Lacy has looked horrendous. That is a clear fact. Starks has played well in the passing game that is a clear fact.

If you're a Lacy owner who has Starks it really is time to insert Starks ahead of Lacy unless you have better options. And Lacy is on the bench till he proves at least in one.....just one game this season that he can be the bell cow he was the past 2 seasons for one of the better offenses in the game.

It's about points. Lacy is not scoring them every week. Starks has been when given the touches. I felt lucky last week when we got a TD out of him vs Denver.....this week he flat out collapsed and I think played himself out of the starters role for now.

Something is totally wrong with him this season, be it his weight, the high ankle sprain, fumbles.....he is simply not getting it done. I am not risking him in my lineup anymore. Not worth it. I see clearly that he is not the same player this year. I thought the high ankle sprain had a lot to do with it.....but it does not matter. He is not producing. I don't care why anymore. I am not selling (in dynasty) at this rock bottom level anyway.

I'm not saying Starks is amazing or anything, all I know is this is what my bench looks like right now:

Eddie Lacy: -1 point

James Starks: 24.2 points

This is a PPR league, and Eddie Lacy hasn't topped 20 points yet this season. That's all I need to know.

 

[BearsFan4Life]

Dynasty I am stuck with him and he is going to the bench -- want to hold him but if was offered an upside player I might just take it.... rough year losing Charles, Bell, and Lacy (even though not out for year) .. What looked great on paper at the beginning of the year is now shot.

It doesn't look good, he 's played like crap and is the mirror image of Big Foot but I think given the same opportunity he'd be putting as good or better numbers than Starks.

Perfect example of hype

Starks has played well in the passing game that is a clear fact. (avg 8.8 yds per catch)

Eddie Lacy has been absolutely terrible in the passing game (avg 9.2 yds per catch) .... just getting a lot less opportunities

[Gatorman]

Every year we get wind of a player that the year before was dealing with something that was kept secret that made his season subpar. Lacy seems to be that guy. Whether it is the weight, the ankle, or now the groin, he has been awful, and I do not see this as something that is going to "turn around" without him taking some time off to get healthy or for next season. Starks has never been 1A to Lacy in all the years he was backing him up, so for him to have already been 1A and now it looks like he is #1 means something is really wrong here.

I just lost Lewis and traded away lacy (but managed to keep starks). Starks goes into the lineup for me.

I've posted in these forums a good number of posts and I don't come close to agreeing with everyone all the time but I can honestly say that you bring about as little to this community as person possibly can. That tells me everything I need to know about YOUR posts and I have a feeling I'm not the only one who thinks this.

In all seriousness, if all you want to do is be a contrarian and satisfy some craving for recognition, why don't you do yourself and everyone else a favor and take it to Twitter or Instagram where you can get a broader audience. You dilute the value of the community doing it here.

Starks is below replacement level as a talent. He knows the system well, and won't get Rodgers killed. Bottom line is he shouldn't be your starter. As a Packer fan, the unfortunate reality is that he's playing far better than Eddie Lacy this year. Thats how bad Lacy has been. He's fat and slow. I don't think this one is going to turn around this season.

can't the same be said for James Jones? As long as Rodgers is at the helm and healthy the "starter" should have good value.

That's kind of circle talk.

-Starter should have value.

-Lacy is the starter (yet doesn't have the value people expect).

-So IF Starks were the starter (which seems unlikely the Pack will outright openly bench Lacy) he would have value.

-But Starks is below replacement level as a starter.

Kinda brings us full circle to the beginning. It is opinion. Personally, it is hard to see both or either, individually, operating at a high level until the Packers pull their collective heads out of their butts as a team. If I had to bet on either doing it, however, I guess I would go with Lacy just because I've seen it in a sustained fashion. Starks always looks like a perfect guy to come in and pinch hit and looks good but I don't think I've ever seen him be consistent in doing it.

 

[Patrick the Pirate]

If say James Starks gets injured. What happens then?

Alonzo Harris gets a piece of the pie? Would his piece be larger than Eddie Lacy's?

Or would John Kuhn eat some pie too?

(Assuming there's going to be a lot of Fat Eddie Lacy is going to eat the whole pie jokes here)

I really think this is where your thinking is wrong.

Just facts that Starks has played better. Not a ton better. That offense has not been what we have known. But Starks is looking like he is going to be more involved going forward.

Believe me, I want Lacy to be great. But he has been dreadful. Starks is not that much better save for 2 games too. Starks has had 2 great games. Lacy 2 decent games. Starks had games where he has scored 14.6, 24.7 and 24.2 Lacys 3 best were 17.90, 11.70 2 times.

It's ugly this year for Green Bay's running game. And the reason Lacy is not being given opportunities in the passing game??? Have you been watching him play? I mean have you really watched him play? I was giving him time and the benfit of the doubt due to his nasty ankle sprain, like most of his owners. But we have 4 more weeks of regular season games left in FF

Time is up.

Moving on, unless he shows he can be trusted again. There is a reason he is not getting the same opportunity. Because he is not playing good at all.

If say James Starks gets injured. What happens then?

Alonzo Harris gets a piece of the pie? Would his piece be larger than Eddie Lacy's?

Or would John Kuhn eat some pie too?

(Assuming there's going to be a lot of Fat Eddie Lacy is going to eat the whole pie jokes here)

If Starks went down then Green Bay is in a world if trouble at the RB spot.

I agree you can't play him ...


It doesn't look good, he 's played like crap and is the mirror image of Big Foot but I think given the same opportunity he'd be putting as good or better numbers than Starks.

Perfect example of hype

Starks has played well in the passing game that is a clear fact. (avg 8.8 yds per catch)

Eddie Lacy has been absolutely terrible in the passing game (avg 9.2 yds per catch) .... just getting a lot less opportunities

Malcom Floyd might be averaging 25 yards per catch but that doesn't mean he's a better play than Julio Jones.

Opportunity is everything in fantasy.

Great example ... of something ?

Which part is confusing?

You pointed to yards per catch stats suggesting Lacy has been better than Starks. Yards per catch means nothing in fantasy football. PRODUCTION means everything.

It's irrelevant if you think Lacy would do better with more opportunities. The point is he isn't getting them. Which should be the biggest red flag. If Lacy was playing so much better than Starks, the Packers would have him on the field more often.
