Packers don't think Ryan Grant will be ready for Week 4

Packers HC Mike McCarthy believes that Ryan Grant (bruised kidney) "will be pressed to play" in Week 4, meaning that the running back is likely to sit out.

Fantasy Impact: 

With Grant potentially sidelined, it appears that James Starks will get an opportunity to carry the load against the Broncos. John Kuhn and Alex Green are also likely to see extra snaps. With Grant out, Starks looks like a solid RB2 play in Week 4.

In week one, Ryan Grant was Green Bay's starting running back against New Orleans. But after two series, it became the James Starks show.

The Packers decided before the game that Starks would play in most spread formations. That's the main reason why Starks finished with 45 snaps compared with Grant's 16. Starks carried 12 times, Grant carried nine.

All of John Kuhn's 21 snaps came at fullback in two-back sets. Rookie Alex Green didn't play from scrimmage.

Green Bay running backs coach Jerry Fontenot said Starks got the nod over Grant in spread sets because of "his ability to run in space" and "his ability to digest what the defense is giving us and being able to pass protect."

Although Starks gave up a fourth-quarter sack, Fontenot said that it probably was fair to say that he was more dependable in protection than Grant at this point. Starks' edge in protection isn't reading defenses but actually blocking a rusher, Fontenot said.

Fontenot said he wasn't sure how playing time would be divided Sunday in Carolina.

Fantasy Impact: 

This provides more evidence as to why Starks is the better fantasy player right now.

McCarthy: James Starks "didn't have the attempts that he deserved"

Running backs coach Jerry Fontenot said he would split the carries between his two running backs.

At first that didn't even look possible. With Rodgers completing 14 of his first 15 passes, the Packers had to go with the hot hand.

But by the half, the James Starks had five carries, 30 yards and one big touchdown; Ryan Grant had five carries, 26 yards.

"James did well, probably didn't have the attempts that he deserved," said McCarthy.

In the end, even with the clear aerial attack, the Packers managed 102 rushing yards by the backs: 57 for Starks, 40 for Grant and 5 for John Kuhn.

"It's a true test to how well the line is blocking," said Starks. "Plus the receivers, tight ends - it was a total team effort."

Fantasy Impact: 

As our scout Rick Tittlser observed at Packer training camp, Starks is the superior RB at this point. He made several nice cuts and broke a few tackles, and has more burst than Grant. If he continues to produce at a higher level, and we believe he will, then the Packers will give him more work. McCarthy said as much in his post-game interview.

A cult hero is returning to Green Bay - the Packers have re-signed running back John Kuhn.

Fantasy Impact: 

Kuhn generated some mild buzz last year. However, the emergence of James Starks and the return of Ryan Grant has crushed his fantasy value. Fantasy owners need to look elsewhere for a cult hero.
