Does everyone still consider him a must start? I think he has a decent upcoming schedule. If your benching him who are you putting in his place? I have Gore and Bradshaw.

I think it's getting to that point, but I still have hopeful optimism.

The team I have Lacy on has: Lacy, Jennings/AWilliams, Joique, Vereen, McKinnon. I had Gio but traded him for Jimmy finalized tomorrow.

I have Gore Bradshaw and sankey right now. When Mathews gets back from injury I might plug him instead of lacy. I was hoping Sankey would have come around these past 2 weeks

I'm in the same boat. I got Tate and he is going in the line up and lacy to the bench

should've been done this past weekend. Tate was a shoe in for 25 carries against a terrible run D (his YPC sucked because of the short yardage carries he got and losing 2 starting lineman during the game) while the packers came out and said they wanted to get starks an even amount of carries going up against a really good defense.

yahoo called lacy an rb1 and tate an rb2, but tate was an easy call

My top RBs are Lacy, Tate, Jennings, and Oliver.

I still will start Lacy every week. But im definitely starting to doubt him and hes moving down the pecking order on my team.

When Jennings comes back healthy, I will have an issue on who to start each week, especially with the way Oliver has started to come on and emerge as the top RB in San Diego. But it remains to be seen the type of workload he will get when Mathews gets back. Still gonna be a big part of that O though.

Traded Lacy for Shady last week so I don't have to worry with his headache anymore!

I used Lacy, Tate, and Oliver all this week and had a good week. My other guys are Cutler, Antonio Brown, Edelman, and Julius Thomas.

But the only thing about Lacy is that the Packers offense scores a lot. You would think he would get more goal line carries. But it's obvious the Packers aren't gonna be a balanced offense like they said they would in preseason.

Might try and trade 1 of my RBs for a WR.

Immediately benched him this week when I first read about splitting carries 50/50 with Starks. Put Andre Ellington in his place.

I'm trying to deal him for a decent WR. I have Gore, Forsett and J Bell to replace him. I'm taking a shot and trying to trade Lacy and Stafford for Luck and B Marshall.

Seriously?

Good luck convincing him to accept that

I know it's a long shot. If it starts a conversation, then I'll be happy.

I benched him twice so far this season...week 3 and 6. He's got 2 good matchups coming up so I'll have to see what I decide. He's one of the least productive rbs I have and he gets less touches than virtually every starting rb in the league. He is getting around 9 less carries a game this year.

Cobb has 4 TDs coming from around the 5 yard line

McCarthy May give lacy a try within the 5 but on 2nd down and that's his only chance

His Playcalling sucks

Last year he had no choice but to feed lacy.
