Cheese Curds, 2/22: Eddie Lacy's risk/reward equation leaves value in question

When he has remained healthy, Eddie Lacy has largely been a productive running back for the Green Bay Packers. In 2016, he was on the best pace of his career in several statistical measures before an ankle injury put him on injured reserve.

Lacy's 5.1 yards-per-carry average was a half-yard better than any other full season in his four-year career, and was a full yard better than his average during a disappointing 2015 campaign. However, questions about his weight and conditioning still cloud the picture for his free agent status, and appear likely to lead to him getting a shorter, incentive-laden contract rather than a big-money deal like a couple of other players at his position.
