James Starks role expected to grow

It was obvious even to the untrained eye last night that James Starks was the best RB on Green Bay's roster.  He bruised-and-battered his way to 57 yards and a score on 12 carries, while RB Ryan Grant rushed 9 times for 40 yards.  And don't think HC Mike McCarthy didn't notice.  Starks "probably didn't have the attempts that he deserved," McCarthy admitted after the game.  Grant didn't look completely washed-up -- and he was better than Starks in pass protection -- so he's not going to disappear.  But it's clear that Starks is the superior ball-carrier at this point.  Look for his role to grow in the coming weeks.  Starks is the Packers RB to own in fantasy.
