Eddie Lacy hoping to have "one of the biggest games of my life"

During his sophomore year, Lacy made his return to New Orleans. Alabama beat LSU for the national championship. He didn't exactly get a standing ovation."They knew I was from Louisiana, and I was at a traitor school as people would say," Lacy said. "So, I got boos for that and a bunch of negative comments."

Fantasy Impact:

Eddie Lacy was the backup behind Trent Richardson in that game, now he is the starter. After spending the first 14 years of his life in New Orleans before Katrina forced his family to evacuate, Lacy is finally returning home as a starter--eager to make a statement. With Rob Ryan's tendency to blitz early and often, Lacy will have an opportunity to have the game he wants. According to ESPN, the Saints are 22nd against fantasy running backs. Lacy has not been the back fantasy owners expected when they drafted him with their first pick, but he might live up to the expectations in Week 8.
