Eddie Lacy reassured fantasy owners who gave him the nod this week that he was a smart play against the Washington Redskins.
Lacy took his first carry of the game for a 10-yard gain, but suffered a major hit from Washington safety Brandon Meriweather. According to Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Lacy will miss the rest of the contest after suffering a concussion:
Absolutely horrible news for Lacy owners. Clearly a big blow this week since he cannot make it back into the game, but the long-term consequences should be the focus here.
This latest injury flirtation with Lacy only reinforces the pre-draft notion that he struggles to stay healthy thanks to his physical running style. Lacy is a supremely talented back, but should these nagging issues continue, unloading him for quality value is the smart play.
Lacy is in an outstanding situation, but health issues continue to plague his early NFL career. From a fake football perspective, it’s time to move on to other options.
