Allen Lazard Fantasy

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard caught three passes for 62 yards in the team's 31-26 loss to the Buccaneers in the NFC Championship Game. Lazard saw six targets in the game and made some nice contributions as the Packers played from behind most of the game. Lazard got off to a solid start this season but injuries prevented him from taking his game to another level. The 25-year-old finished the regular season with 33 receptions for 451 yards with three touchdowns. But the Packers head into the offseason still looking for a true complementary receiver to produce alongside star receiver Davante Adams. Whether Lazard can step into that role will depend on his development during the offseason.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard caught four passes for a team-high 96 yards with one touchdown in the Packers 32-18 triumph over the Rams in the NFC Divisional Round. Lazard was targeted eight times in the game but finally exploded in the fourth quarter, catching a bomb from quarterback Aaron Rodgers and sprinting to the end zone for a 58-yard score. The Rams did all they could to take star receiver Davante Adams out of the offensive game plan but Rodgers hit big with his secondary receivers. Adams will continue to get the headlines but receivers like Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will carry fantasy sleeper appeal in tournaments for the NFC Championship Game next week.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (core, wrist) was limited in practice on Wednesday heading into the team's playoff matchup against the Rams on Saturday. Lazard got off to a strong start this season, but injuries dragged down his production, as he caught only 33 passes for 451 yards and three touchdowns in the regular season. If Lazard can suit up, he will face a Rams secondary that allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers during the regular season. The Rams may try and double team star receiver Davante Adams, which could free up players like Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Even if he is healthy for the game, however, Lazard will be a long shot to produce much for fantasy managers this weekend.
