Eddie Lacy to have increased role moving forward

“We’d like to get [Eddie Lacy] about 20 touches, however they come about. That’s approximately what he had [against New Orleans]. Some games it’s going to be tilted more toward the run. [On Sunday night], he had it tilt a little bit more toward the pass. As long as he has the ball in his hands, he’s a weapon†- Offensive Coordinator, Tom Clements. (ESPN Wisconsin)
Fantasy Impact:
This is good news for Lacy owners as his production for the most part this season has not been up to expectations. His 182 total yards in Week 8 were much appreciated and the 8 catches translated into an excellent game in PPR formats. He can't be expected to have that kind of output every week, but its realistic that he can consistently go over 100 total yards every week on 20 touches. Considering his propensity as a goal line back, that would propel him back into top tier RB1 status.
