Eddie Lacy, James Starks, John Crockett Post-Week 13 Fantasy Advice

The Green Bay Packers shook out of a massive midseason funk in Thursday's 27-23 Hail Mary win but must address what's become a very limited offenseparticularly in the run game.You know you have problems when your pro-style quarterback is the games leading rusher, and such was the case in Thursdays game against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, when Aaron Rodgers led the Packers with 27 rush yards on four carries with a score.Among running backs, the Packers posted just 41 rush yards on 16 attempts.Health aside, Eddie Lacy has beenfar and awaythe most disappointing fantasy product in 2015.A unanimous first-round selection, Lacy has mustered just 46.6 rush yards and three total touchdowns in 11 games this season. On Thursday, he had four rush yards on five carries and was in the negative in receiving.Lacys limited outing poses a major dilemma to owners preparing for the playoffs, which begin next week. At this point, hes returned to a must-avoid fantasy status, per Matthew Berry of ESPN:An ailing ankle has hinderedLacy since Week 2, but by no means does that excuse his remarkable lack of productionlowly enough to lose his starting job to James Starks. Lacy showed upward signs with a combined 27 fantasy points the past two weeks but was once again limited by the Lionsa team thats had his number since his rookie campaign in 2013, per NFL Fantasy Football:Michael Fabiano of NFL.com and Matt Spiegel of 670 The Score took particular notice of Lacys proverbial absence Thursday:While Lacy hit the skids during the middle of the season, Starks emerged a potential fantasy replacementbut only in deep leagues, as he averages just 6.9 points per game.Starks may be worth a waiver add, but hell need to be carefully observed in the final weeks to be considered a start.Third-stringer John Crockett led Packers running backs on the ground Thursday, but by no means was it an eye-opening performance.Crockett had just five carries for 22 yards in his first career game after the Packerspromotedhim from the practice squad the same day as Thursday's game.Hes worth keeping an eye on given Green Bay's lack of options elsewhere, but he doesnt deserve a fantasy roster spot at this point in the season.
