Every gameday during the regular season, theScore's fantasy editors recap the most important news and notes from around the league. 

Lacy's 2 touchdowns set the tone

Eddie Lacy hasn't had a great start to the fantasy season, but had his best performance of the year by far on Thursday night. Lacy rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns and was excellent from the first snap. 

The second-year Packers running back would have likely gained more touches had the result been closer. Lacy only ran the ball 13 times, and caught three passes for 27 yards. The former Alabama star made an intangible impact as well, opening up play action for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. 

When Lacy was pulled from the game, James Starks filled in well, rushing for 46 yards on 12 carries. Fantasy owners should take a deep breathe and relax. Lacy's going to be alright.

Other Notable Fantasy Lines

Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers
12-for-17, 156 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs
Rodgers' line may not be flashy, but he was outstanding before getting pulled in a blowout win.

Jordy Nelson, WR, Packers
1 catch for 66 yards, 1 TD
Nelson only had one catch, but it was a spectacular 66-yard touchdown reception.

Randall Cobb, WR, Packers
3 catches for 34 yards, 1 TD
Cobb has now caught six touchdown passes this season, and is a fantasy must-start.

Greg Jennings, WR, Vikings
2 catches for 31 yards
Jennings was targeted six times, but failed to make much of an impact on the game.

Matt Asiata, RB, Vikings
15 carries for 72 yards
Asiata was the lone bright spot for the Vikings, but failed to find the end zone.

Injury Ward

Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Vikings
Patterson caught two passes for eight yards in an abysmal start. The second-year pro briefly left the game with a hip injury but returned. Patterson's injury shouldn't be too serious.

Waiver Wire

Packers' Defense
After a slow start to the season, the Packers' defense has let up less than 20 points in three consecutive games. Green Bay was good for full value on Thursday, scoring a touchdown on an interception return while recording six sacks.
