Fantasy football isn't always a game of talent. Sometimes it's a game of opportunity. That's how "fat" Eddie Lacy turned out to be one of the steals of drafts last year, as a seemingly big and slow monster from Alabama turned into a leading fantasy football scorer. Lacy isn't nearly as proven as the other top backs in our projections, but he's in an ideal situation to benefit from the efficient Green Bay offense run by Aaron Rodgers. He might not do much through the air (he had the sixth-worst Reception NEP among 200-plus carry backs last year), but he's going to rack up the touchdowns as he finishes drives for the Packers on offense.
