James Starks relied on heavily in crunch time
by Eric Anderson | Mon, Oct 13th 9:38pm EDT
During the Packers Week 6 win over the Miami Dolphins, RB James Starks rushed 8 times for 31 and added 2 catches for 11 yards. More interesting than the touches he got was when he got them with the Packers relying on him at the end of the game almost exclusively.
Fantasy Impact:
James Starks has played second fiddle to Eddie Lacy this entire year, at times his usage and effectiveness makes him look like the more talented back. Starks is a naturally fluid runner and his style contrasts and compliments the down-hill, bruising style of his counterpart Lacy. The situation bears monitoring as Starks role could grow if Lacy remains ineffective, but the Packers have not hidden the fact that they want to keep both backs involved going forward.
