James Starks, RB, Green Bay Packers

James Starks returned from a long layoff to play on 71 percent of backfield snaps, compared to 26 percent for Ty Montgomery. Perhaps more importantly, he was active in the passing game -- an area where Montgomery thrives.
Starks wasn't good earlier in the season, but he dominated the snaps in a game that the Green Bay Packers mostly trailed, contributing 7 carries and 3 receptions for 44 total yards and a touchdown. 10 touches isn't spectacular, but his usage coming off an injury was promising.
The Green Bay offense has struggled at times this season, but a lead back capable of playing three downs in a good offense is a valuable fantasy asset.
