Formations Fantasy Football Review: Green Bay Packers Edition
Star: Eddie Lacy (RB) 13 Stats: 284 carries-1,178 yards-11 TDs, 35 receptions-257 yards
Why He’s a Star: Lacy put up great numbers during his first year in the NFL. I do not expect any sophomore slump this year. Lacy should have at least 1,200 yards rushing. He could also have up to 400 yards receiving and 12-14 total TDs. I would spend a first round pick on Lacy but also draft James Starks in the later rounds as a handcuff.
Avoid: Andrew Quarless (TE) 13 Stats: 32 catches-312 yards-2 TDs
IDP to Watch: Brad Jones (LB) 13 Stats: 60 tackles-24 assists-3 sacks
Why: The former seventh round pick from Colorado shined last year over his 12 games in the regular season. It would not be shocking to see Jones line up in more sub-packages. With the potential of being an every down linebacker, Jones should be at least a LB2.
