BALLER MOVE: Add in All 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Another week another injury...this one is with Green Bay Packers starting running back Eddie Lacy. Last week Lacy went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter. His backup, James Starks, did a bang up job replacing him toting 95 yards rushing (4.8 ypc) and 4 catches for 11 yards. Early reports on Lacy's status have the Packers 'hoping' he'll play this week versus the Chiefs. Starks is a talented backup in the NFL who benefits from playing on a high-scoring offense. The Chiefs are a tougher matchup for opposing Running Backs (7th fewest fantasy points last year) but with Lacy's cloudy health prognosis it makes Starks at minimum a waiver target for Lacy owners. Starks would also be a great waiver target in deeper leagues as a flier assuming that Lacy will not play this week. For all other leagues I'd recommend to continue monitoring this situation, unless you just want to spurn the Lacy owner in your league (a legitimate strategy).
