BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 38% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Allen Lazard finally came back last week after missing all games in the W4-W10 span due to injury. He was very eased into the Packers game, logging just four targets of which he caught a couple for 18 yards on the day against Indy, having a rather paltry fantasy performance that accounted for just 3.8 PPR points. That changed this weekend, though, as Lazard seems to be gearing up again--although it came with a scary hit that had us fearing the worst.
Lazard's game against the Bears is not going to blow your mind, but his 12.3 fantasy points weren't bad considering he was forced off the field after a legal hit in the third quarter and a rather low usage after that. All in all, Lazard's 33 snaps played were his season-low and even then he scored a reasonably high amount of PPR points. He caught 4 of 6 targets for 23 yards and by the time he left the game for a while he had already scored a TD.
Everything points in the right direction for Lazard going forward, as he seems to have avoided a serious injury and thus will keep playing the WR2 role for Green Bay come W13. That's correct. Forget about MVS eating from Lazard's cake, as the latter is the one being looked at over the former (Marquez Valdes-Scantling played 56 snaps yesterday... and finished with zero targets).
Green Bay has four good matchups leading up and including Championship Sunday in W16. They face the 13th, 24th, 15th, and 28th-best defenses against fantasy WRs next, and that last matchup can't be better for fantasy GMs battling for the chip as Tennesse has allowed the fifth-most points to wideouts this season.
