Since Ryan Grant's heyday in 2009, the Packers' rushing attack has underperformed. With the dynamic Aaron Rodgers under center and a bevy of deadly vertical weapons at his disposal, they are the poster children in this pass-first, pass-often age. However, it doesn't mean RBs that don the Green and Gold will be permanently suppressed, especially in 2012.
Without Grant in the picture, James Starks might be the most slighted starting running back in all of fantasy. The third-year back, a very assertive between-the-hashes pounder, has the potential to turn a mega profit. Mike McCarthy, who has an undying faith in Starks, completely agrees. From Kevin Seifert:
The Packers have committed to James Starks as their primary running back. Grant's locker is now occupied, indicating his return is not in the team's plans, and Tuesday, Starks took the first-team repetitions while second-year back Alex Green continued his recovery from knee surgery. Starks has a long injury history, but coach Mike McCarthy is clearly prepared to take that risk. McCarthy: "He's a young raw guy that needs to play. If he can stay healthy, I think he'll make a significant jump as a player."
As stated above, staving off the injury imp is top priority for Starks. Often nicked and scraped early in his career due to his upright style and brutalizing nature, he's played only 16 games over two seasons. GB's desire to throw near the goal-line is also a deterrent. Last year, Rodgers went airborne 46 times inside the 10, the second-most attempts in the league. Still, his potential to develop into a reliable RB2 is better than advertised.
