GB RB James Starks - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Chicago
Starks struggled last week against Minnesota, managing just 14 yards on eight carries before giving way to Eddie Lacy. Lacy then had his first 100-yard game. That's not the way to hold down a starting job. Look for Starks to move back into a more secondary role this week. And Chicago ranks 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. That's not a winning combination.

GB RB James Starks - Week 11, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Minnesota
Starks didn't do much on the ground in his first start this season, gaining 42 yards on 15 carries. He did salvage things with his second consecutive six-catch game, adding another 54 yards. Eddie Lacy could be back this week, but Starks will continue to start. Minnesota's run defense is sixth in fantasy football, so unless Starks has another big day catching the ball, he could be in for more of the same. But with Green Bay's receivers bottled up, somebody has to catch the ball. Starks is a decent No. 2 back in PPR leagues.

GB RB James Starks - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Detroit
Starks will get the start over struggling Eddie Lacy this week, though both will get carries (as Lacy owners know too well from dealing with Starks stealing carries). With Lacy dealing with a groin injury last week, Starks had 39 yards on 10 rushes and 83 yards and 1 TD on six catches. Detroit has allowed 11 touchdowns on the ground to opposing running backs, so there's a chance for some big points out of Starks if Lacy doesn't vulture him as he did to Lacy previously. Use Starks as a No. 2 back this week.

GB RB James Starks - Week 9, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Carolina
Starks continues to get just enough carries to make Eddie Lacy next to meaningless in terms of fantasy production ,while typically being a non-factor himself other than a big game here or there. Last week, he managed nine yards on his five carries, just one week after rushing for 100 yards. Ugh. Carolina's run defense is its Achilles' heel, so maybe there's a chance for some good work this week. But probably not for the Packers No. 2 back.

GB RB James Starks - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Denver
Starks was the main man in the Packers backfield last game before the bye, getting 10 carries compared to four for Eddie Lacy. And he did a lot more with those carries, gaining 112 yards and a touchdown, compared to three yards for Lacy. But now Starks is dealing with a hip injury and Lacy's health should be as much of a concern. Denver's run defense isn't nearly as tough as its pass defense, so look for both backs to get plenty of carries, if Starks can go. He should at least be a solid flex play.

GB RB James Starks - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. San Diego
Typically, a back who will get five to 10 carries per game, Starks wouldn't be somebody you'd think about putting in the lineup. But San Diego defense is 30th in the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Starks will have an opportunity to put up some points in this one, even if he only gets eight to 10 carries. He's not a starting option, but flex? Maybe.

GB RB James Starks - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. St. Louis
With Eddie Lacy back at full strength last week, Starks moved back into his secondary role and saw 11 touches, gaining 39 total yards. That's going to be about the norm moving forward, with Starks getting somewhere between five and 12 touches as long as Lacy is healthy. That's not enough to put him in your lineup in any other capacity than a flex, even against a Rams D that is 28th in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs.
