It's been trending this way for some time, especially after the respective performances of Eddie Lacy and James Starks down in Carolina last Sunday, but today Mike McCarthy made things official.
McCarthy: I would say James (Starks) is our No. 1 back right now going into Detroit. He's earned that opportunity. We'll stay w/ 1-2 punch.

This comes as no surprise, given Lacy's struggles so far in 2015. Starks has far and away looked to be the better back so far this year.
