Does anyone think Lacy's ankle will be a problem ROS?

Last year after his concussion we saw a healthy dose of 50/50 with he and Starks in the Packers games. It went on for a while before they decided to give him the vast majority of the work. I believe a similar situation is going to develop. I'll be screaming at my TV and wondering why Starks is in at the goalline and not Eddie. Thoughts?

I think they were more careful with his concussion last year than they'll be this year with an ankle. I do think there's a strong possibility he sits this week or shares time this week and possibly next as well.

Lacy's problem is McCarthy. He's already on a pitch count when healthy. They want him to have 15 carries, sometimes he gets 5-10 more, but it's usually stuck in the 15-18 range and he's the lead back.

So when he is ready to play, I can only imagine that 15 limit is going to be strict or he even sees fewer carries

Who knows, but that would be my concern

He's a frustrating RB to own. He finished RB6 last year but I never knew what sort of performance he was going to give.

He was awesome after the first quarter slump. The frustrations I had after that were volume. His rookie year he was getting 25 carries no matter what because everyone was hurt. I felt rewarded for not dropping him after his concussion.

Last year, Starks was the 3rd down back and got some series here and there. The packers also kicked everyone's arse so Lacy would get pulled early (opportunity cost is annoying)

He's awesome and worth his draft pick but his ceiling week to week is limited a little lower than other top guys
