Eddie Lacy, James Starks' Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 14

For a moment, Eddie Lacy owners thought they saw a vulture hanging around Lambeau Field, threatening to ruin their playoff matchup. Luckily for them, Lacy was having none of that. 

Despite a first-half touchdown run from James Starks, Lacy already had 76 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns by the half in the Green Bay Packers' game against the Atlanta Falcons. After a slow start to the season, Lacy now has 10 or more fantasy points in seven straight games and in nine of his last 10 games.

Player	Carries	Rush Yards	Receptions	Receiving Yards	TD	Fantasy Points
Eddie Lacy	13	73	5	33	2	22
James Starks	10	75	1	2	26	15

That makes him a guaranteed RB1 each and every week in the Packers' explosive offense. And it means that Starks is nothing more than a nice handcuff to own who might steal a score here and there, yes, but doesn't have enough value to leave your bench. 

If Lacy's proved one thing this season, it's that he is immune to any potential vultures. And along the way, he's also proved that he's one of fantasy's most reliable performers.
