Matt Forte or Eddie Lacy?

Forte if he falls to 5.

Almost everyone says Forte, but I went Lacy in a 0.5 ppr and have the same choice again from the 4 spot coming up next week.

I expect Lacey's YPC to increase as well as his receptions. I can see him leading the league in TD's as I think the Packers are going to go off this year. Lacy does have some injury concerns from college and the concussion on the cheap shot last year. People are also scared he may pull Trent Richardson, but he has much beter vision than Trent and GB's o-line is legit.

Forte catches a lot of passes and outplayed Lacy last year. Trestman's offense gives Forte a very high floor. He has no catastrophic injuries and has been healthy the past couple of years. The Chicago line has looked like shite run blocking in the pre-season and I dont fully trust them, but Kromer should have them in shape by start of the year.

I think for a full PPR you have to go Forte, but Lacy is so very tempting.

If you pass on Forte and he has another year like last year, then you will kick yourself. He has finished near the top of PPR RBs every in all of his 6 years in the league. He plays in an offense perfectly suited for him. He caught 74 passes last season, and this year he gets a healthy Cutler back, a more seasoned Alshon, Santonio Holmes, etc. All the data says it's the right choice. If he fails for some reason, you can still sleep at night knowing you made the right choice.

Im sure Lacy will do fine. But he hasn't established a track record yet. We haven't seen much of him with Rodgers. And a lot of his points came on TDs, which we really can't predict year to year. Again, I like Lacy, but if one of the proven guys are there, I just have to lean that way and play it safe.

they're right, fore is the safer bet, but I do really like lacy's potential...I watch every game of his last year and he is a beast. If not for the BM cheapshot on the first carry of the game (you knew the instant he was hit)

he would have had even better numbers last year, he probably would've had 150 and 1 or 2 more TDs in just that game...redskins run d was atrocious last year, and his backup had a big day
