James Starks' effectiveness without Aaron Rodgers (1 Viewer)

Can we expect more 6 carry weeks if the pack keeps getting left behind? Thoughts?

Brandon Jackson has been the 3rd down RB with the most REC. i would think he would be the RB to own, but I would hope to have better options.

The arguments exist supporting other hot recent pickups like Tashard Choice, Javarris James, Anthony Dixon, and Westbrook. When you look at these options in terms of inter-team competition, it seems like Starks only has to worry about Brandon Jackson, while the rest of them seem to be sharing with more than one mouth (once other RBs return from injury).

Another thing to consider is that GB has less than an attractive schedule for the rest of the year.

starks has to worry about Nance, Kuhn, and Jackson.

And McCarthy is hard to read with the running game. Against SF he gave Starks 18 carries so he decides against the Lions they should go RBBC and use Starks, Jackson and Nance.

Is there any proof that James Starks can be effective WITH Aaron Rodgers? He's an unproven rookie surrounded by other mediocre RB's.

So, pretty much drop him in redraft is the consensus?

That's what I'm thinking. I don't see how anyone would start him in leagues where your playoffs end week 16 and his matchups look terrible.

I think that depends on both what is available on your WW and what you need. I probably wouldn't start him this week without seeing how things shake out more. Without Rodgers, the packers will use BJack heavily not only for pass protection skills but also his receiving ability.
