Fantasy football start/sit, Week 10: James Starks now the top back

The Packers have a new top back. We break down the fantasy implications.

The Green Bay Packers usually don't have many problems on offense. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is one of the most talented players in the past decade and he creates a ton of fantasy value for basically any player in his offense.

Running back Eddie Lacy hasn't been one of those players this season. Many people selected him first overall and now he's lost his starting job to James Starks. Lacy is a little banged up, but it probably doesn't even matter for Lacy.

Lacy was limited in practice this week, so the Packers have little incentive to play him at less than 100 percent. That means we should see Starks get plenty of touches against the Detroit Lions.

The Lions are the fifth-best matchup for running backs and this game is in Green Bay, too. That means there should be a lot of rushing plays in the second half.

Fantasy impact: Starks is a strong RB2 with top-five upside. Start him.
