Captain Goomy Noomy Roo 47 Posted September 29, 2011 Ryan Grant (bruised kidney) missed practice again on Thursday.There are mixed signals coming out of Green Bay regarding Grant's chances of playing in Week 4. He's been nonchalant about the injury while coach Mike McCarthy has suggested that a week of rest will likely be in order. A motivated James Starks would take on RB2 value against the Broncos if Grant is held out. Sep 29 - 1:23 PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SameSongNDance 0 Posted September 29, 2011 Probably just a rumor unless the injury is more serious than we once thought. It would vault Starks into a weekly RB2 play, that's for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted September 29, 2011 I think the injury is more serious then meets the eye. Internal organ damage are serious matter and should not be taken lightly. My guess is, if he doesn't come back next week be prepare for an extended outage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not worth long term health issues for him to play when they can put Starks and Green out there, especially when Denver's the opponent, but even if it were a playoff game. The guy's health just isn't worth what he can bring to a game outside of what their other RBs already bring. It would be irresponsible of GB to play him.

steelers2101 7 Posted September 29, 2011 Spoken like a true Starks owner! I also own him so I agree they need to rest Grant.. for at least 6 weeks.. Haha, that is true, but I also traded him in my other league in a deal to "upgrade" to Reggie Bush. I also included Sproles in that deal to "upgrade" to Bush. I would have been better off just trading Rivers for Felix and Fitzpatrick and not including the rest of those guys. So, obviously a little buyers remorse on including Starks (instead of say, Spiller, which I probably could have done too had I not justified because I have Starks in another league and convinced myself that Spiller had more upside ), so the better Starks does, the more I regret including him, and if Grant misses a lot of time, it'll just be worse for that part of the deal.

WR Guru 31 Posted September 30, 2011 Regardless of Grant's status, Starks needs to have a major rebound game from that abortion he posted last week or he will just find himself splitting time with the next scrub on the depth chart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,083 Posted September 30, 2011 Based on? Watching both play, albiet one was in college. But seriously, the reason I say that is based on their skill sets. Green Bay spreads it out and is a pass first offense. Similar to the Patriots, and also similar to....Hawaii...the offense that Green came from. Starks is NOT a great pass catching RB. Green, by all accounts, should be and was in college a GREAT receiving RB. I forsee Starks being the first and second down back and Green being the spread offense and third down back. Starks = BJGE Green = Danny Woodhead Not in how they look (size), but fantasy production and how they will be used. In PPR leagues Green may actually outproduce Starks Sunday.

Starks was not bad as a receiving back at Buffalo. Not on Green's level...but again, different offenses. I hope Green can outshine him...would be great for the Packer offense.

However, with that being said, Green has the ability to catch balls. So Noting that Green is a passing down sort of player...... when the occasion comes up when you have to give starks a rest (which will happen from time to time) are you going to insert Green when they want to run the ball, or when they want to pass the ball? it is a legitimate question to ask. The problem is that we do not yet know the answer. (not for sure anyhow) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IN$TANT REPAY 8 Posted October 1, 2011 Green has the ability to catch balls. So Noting that Green is a passing down sort of player...... But can he pass block sack hungry NFL defensive players...NOT COLLEGE PLAYERS and protect AARON RODGERS on passing downs!?!?! I don't give a crap about what he did against college players who are not in the NFL. LONG LIVE STARKS THE GREAT!@@#$%^^&** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha there's no way you just compared Starks to BGE. They literally have nothing in common. Two totally different running styles, two totally different roles. That is the joke statement of the week, congratulations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
