Starks sets sights on improvement: Packers RB James Starks told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he intends to work harder this offseason to be a better running back. Starks saw limited reps in 2011 -- he didn't have more than 13 carries in any single game -- but still led the team in rushing yards with 578 rushing yards (19 more than Ryan Grant). Grant might not be back in Green Bay in 2012, opening the door for Starks to potentially be an every-down back. "If that's how it happens, I'll be ready," Starks said. "But whatever happens, happens. I have no problem with what was going on this year, so I'd be fine with whatever. I'm a team player. Whatever's going to help the team, I'm all for it. ... I just have to do better with my carries. Doesn't really matter how many you get. Just have to do more with your opportunities." (Updated 02/02/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Starks has the right attitude, but if he's ever going to be big in Fantasy then he'll need to be in a position where he gets a lot of work every week -- and does something with it. After Week 1, he didn't score a single touchdown in 2011 and had two games with over 100 total yards. He also got banged up toward the end of the year and has a long injury history that dates back to college. Assuming the Packers add help at running back this offseason, Starks won't be any better than a high-end reserve rusher for Fantasy purposes. He simply is not that great of a back.
