Here we go: Who are YOU sitting E. Lacy for? :-(

[Bills04 46]

I know E. Lacy had a hellish start of the season schedule. But, I drafted him for weeks 14 thru 16, and *thought* he'd score enough in the regular FF season to get me into the playoffs. Well, he cost me a win in my money league this week...

 

I played him (11.9 points), vs. Gore (23.4 points) and Asiata (28 points!!!).

 

Really??? 48 rushing yards on 17 carries, versus a run defense that was over 20 yards worse than ANY OTHER TEAM in 2013?!?

 

So: until you "show me somethin'" (in the famous words of Eddie George), I'm showing you my bench. Instead, I'm rolling with M. Asiata in my $ league (and F. Gore and A. Bradshaw at my FLEX), and A. Ellington (and M. Asiata; FLEXing E. Sanders).

So youre using 2013 defensive stats to base your starting lineup?

 

Maybe thats why you are losing.

[HOKIEZ 34]

Nobody

Wow....seriously?

 

Cart horse confusion

[WhiteWonder 2,172]

If you drafted your first rounder for weeks 14-16, you already lost

[Bills04 46]

Uh - pretty much everything that I read going in to the season was first 5 picks = 1a Charles; 1b McCoy, 2 Forte, 3 ADP, and 4 Lacy. Then came M. Ball, or Megatron.

 

So - I'm *pretty sure* I'm not the only one who took Lacy in the top half of their drafts, in the first round.

I disagree. Playoff schedule is an important criteria for me. I figure I can manage my way to the playoffs. I want good matchups when it's win or go home.

You have to get to the playoffs then you manage the wins late in the year. You got it all wrong

Ding ding ding. An easy playoff schedule is a nice silver lining or might break a tie if I'm torn between two players, but it's irrelevant until I've officially locked up a postseason birth.

 

Back to the original question...as much as I've wanted to start Ivory over Lacy since week 2/3, I still can't pull the trigger. GB's offense and goal-line opportunities are too good to pass up, even if Lacy is averaging crap per carry.

Maybe in bigger leagues that would be more important but I'm usually in 10 team leagues and I can finish top 4 or 6 >75% of the time. Making the playoffs generally isn't my concern.

[BuschWack 56]

The AP owner just offered Andre Johnson and Anquan Boldin for Lacy, Jordan Matthews and Jerick McKinnon.

 

I'm 0-4 and seriously considering it.

[DrMantisToboggan 5]

Patience... let him play Thursday

HUh? That doesnt help your team at all...

[tigeru 65]

"You kidding me? Playoffs?"

[Flgatorguy87 160]

Exactly

[BuschWack 56]

HUh? That doesnt help your team at all...

Looking for more play makers. ...but AJ and Boldin haven't been exactly lighting it up either.

 

I'm thinking I'll hold onto Lacy and see if he can turn it on.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Lacys only value is in holding for now.

 

Looking towards playoff matchups is silly unless it's something concrete like Brees at home or Ryan. Defenses change and by playoff time your nice matchup at the draft might be the top rated defense in the league. Cowboys suck on D remember? In 4 weeks plenty will be different than it is now.

[NEWPOSTERGUY! 266]

85/2 tonight.

 

Pack romp 38-9.

 

have fun, kids

Doubt Lacy will carry it 38 times tonight.

[murf74 461]

Seeing highlights from Lacy 2013 he is definitely fatter 2014

the beast was truckin'

[TennisMenace 156]

I'm glad I didn't listen to you dude. Lacy, like eli manning, is now rounding into shape. I didn't rest him this week and I don't plan on to.

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

line up and be honest. who sat him? how you feeling about your decision?

[Belushi 9]

I traded for him 2 weeks ago. 3 TD's so far and he looked great last night. Now if Montee Ball turns things around I've got a very solid backfield.

[kilroy69 994]

I started sankey over him. I figured sankey for 16 carries 100 yards 2 tds.

[Bills04 46]

Uh - OP, here. And, yeah - I did sit him. For the record - I also started SD RB D. Brown in both leagues last week, which also didn't do me much good...

 

Me-thinks I over-reacted. Lacy obviously out-played Asiata.

 

I actually considered switching back to Lacy, last night. I saw that MIN's starting WLB and their WLB2 were both OUT. Looks like I should have have!

At least you owned it bro.

[Bills04 46]

At least Lacy DID "show my somethin'!" So, he's back in my line-up weekly, except for his bye week.

 

As much as it hurt, I hit NFL.com and saw the highlights of his TD runs. LOVED the second one, where he trucked over MIN's strong safety, and the guy's helmet went flying!
