James Starks was active in this game, but used much less than he has been in most games this year. Starks received 2 carries and turned them into 5 yards. (NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact:
Two major reasons Starks usage dropped in this game: the Packers fell behind in the second half and relied on their passing game, and Eddie Lacy was significantly more effective. Perhaps the Packers were limiting Starks usage to ensure his health for future weeks, but fellow running back Eddie Lacy really shined in this one. It's become difficult for fantasy owners to predict how the Packers will use these two backs, but Eddie Lacy is more talented and his opportunities more consistent.
