James Starks and Ryan Grant to Compete to Start

0
While the popular conception is that Ryan Grant will open camp as the Packers statrter due to his veteran status, Win My Fantasy League feels that James Starks will take hold of the starting job for good by years end, barring injury of course.

James Starks has been a Win My Fantasy League favorite since coach Mike McCarthy started gushing about his rookie very early in the 2010 campaign.

It is also noteworthy that McCarthy views Starks as a potential every-down back while seeing Grant as more of a early-down back with Brandon Jackson formerly assuming the role of third down back in his place.

Grant will go before Starks in the early drafts with the gap likely closing by the time the preseason starts winding down.

Some may wonder why he are so high on James Starks vis a vis Ryan Grant seeing as how Grant runs a faster 40 time and has a better speed score, the reasoning is simple: If coach Mike McCarthy loves him, so do we.
