The Green Bay Packer snapped a losing streak on Sunday with a win over the Vikings and now the team is leading the NFC North division heading into Week 12. Eddie Lacy returned from injury and had a strong game and he is a solid fantasy football start option against the Bears along with Davante Adams and James Jones for Aaron Rodgers.
The Packers now are 7-3 this season after losing three straight games coming into the matchup with the Vikings and they have a quick turnaround for Week 12. The Packers face off against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving as the late game and the team can put some distance between themselves and the division with another victory. Aaron Rodgers did not have a great game in the win, but he didn't need to, as Eddie Lacy was able to come back and make an impact after being out in Week 10.
Lacy previously lost his starting job and was out with a groin injury last week, but he was healthy for the Vikings game and it showed, with Lazy rushing for 100 yards on 22 carries. The game was the best performance for Lacy this season and his first 100-yard game of 2015. Lacy now has 408 yards rushing this season with two touchdowns and he out snapped James Starks after Starks was being used as the lead back for most of the past month.
Starks had overtaken Lacy as the starter after playing well for a long stretch, but Mike McCarthy said that the team would go with the hot hand and Lacy had that in Week 11. Lacy looked healed from his groin injury and he could be in line to start again when the team takes on the Bears. Lacy looked refreshed on a spin move in the second quarter that resulted in a long run and he showed a burst that he did not have earlier in the season. Lacy coming back could be big for the Packers, who had lost three straight games and were struggling on offense coming into Sunday.
James Jones had an injury earlier in the month and he has struggled over the past four games, but he bounced back along with Lacy and looks like he is ready for a big finish to the season. Jones has been the top redzone target for Aaron Rodgers this season and he found the endzone again after being shut out the past three games. Jones had six catches for 109 yards and a TD after not registering a catch last week and he is a prime option to start for fantasy owners in Week 12.
Davante Adams had a down game against the Vikings in Week 12, but he has played well over the past two weeks and he is worth starting against the Bears for fantasy owners. Adams had 10 catches for 79 yards against the Lions in Week 10 and over the previous two games before the Vikings matchup, he combined for 17 catches and was targeted the most by Aaron Rodgers. The Bears are coming in after a loss and the Packers could put up some big numbers against Chicago.
