Allen Lazard Doubtful Against Patriots - NFL News | Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard is doubtful for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots

Lazard suffered an ankle injury in the Packers' Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and he is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Lazard's absence would be a big blow to the Packers' offense. He is one of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' favorite targets, and he led the team in receiving yards last season.

The Packers will have to rely on other receivers to step up in Lazard's absence. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Randall Cobb, and Amari Rodgers are all capable of making big plays, but they will need to be more consistent in order to replace Lazard's production.

What This Means for Fantasy Football Owners

If you have Lazard on your fantasy team, you should look for a replacement for him this week. Valdes-Scantling, Cobb, and Rodgers are all decent options, but they are not as reliable as Lazard.

You should also consider starting a Patriots player in your lineup. The Patriots' defense is one of the best in the NFL, and they could be in line for a big game against a Packers offense that is missing Lazard.

Conclusion

Allen Lazard's injury is a big blow to the Packers' offense, but it is also an opportunity for other receivers to step up and prove themselves.

Fantasy football owners who have Lazard on their team should look for a replacement for him this week, and they should also consider starting a Patriots player in their lineup.
