Fantasy Football: 6 Players to Avoid in Week 16

Eddie Lacy, RB, Green Bay Packers

I’ll save you the quick search -- I was the one that wrote up Eddie Lacy last week. After last week’s 11-carry, 23-yard clunker, there isn’t much reason to dial up Lacy in a poor matchup the very next week. On the season, Lacy is 28th of 42 backs with at least 100 carries in both Rushing NEP and Rushing NEP per play.

The Cardinals are second to only the Broncos in rush defense over their past four games, and given they rank 22nd in pass defense over the same span and just lost standout defensive back Tyrann Mathieu for the season, this could be an Aaron Rodgers game, not a Lacy game.

Our 11th-ranked running back, we project Lacy for 12.56 rushes for 40.99 rushing yards and 0.24 rushing touchdowns.
