Packers RB James Starks named the RB1 in Green Bay

Green Bay Packers running back James Starks has badly outperformed Eddie Lacy this season. It is now to the point that head coach Mike McCarthy has conceded that Starks is currently the teams RB1 and deservedly so. However, Lacy will still be in the mix. "He's earned that opportunity," McCarthy said. "We'll stay with the one-two punch."

Fantasy Analysis:

Lacy has been disaster this season and Starks has been very good. Lacy was a consensus top five back at worst heading into the season. Unfortunately he's looked fat, slow and has been plagued by injuries.
