Question will be...is he 3rd or 4th on the depth chart when he comes back?

Like others have said he missed all of his senior year due to injury I personally don't think he is going to contribute much at all this year. I hope I am wrong but I just don't see it.

I believe he will be 3rd on the DC for this year (with Grant out). I suppose you could consider Kuhn ahead of him, but I would put Starks ahead of him, as I would like to just keep Kuhn at FB, getting carries every once in awhile.

Thing about Starks is he can CATCH the ball. I mean well. This is something none of our other RBs are capable of. Yes I know, Bjack can "catch." But he's not a guy who's gonna beat you doing that.
Starks can catch the ball like a reciever, and he's got speed to take it to the house anytime. You can't coach speed. He can also make people miss.
If Nance can contribute after a week, Sparks can work in on some screens, at minimum.

The good news is Starks has been in on all the RB meetings, tape sessions etc. He should have the playbook and terminology down by now and certainly by the time he comes back. As has been said if Nance can play after a week in the system, Starks should be able to do something on his return, even if it's only some basic packages.

By the playoffs Starks could potentially be 2nd on the DC behind BJax and ahead of Kuhn and Nance. But it's all speculation at this stage.

Agreed. I'm not looking for him to be picking up blitzers as the 3rd down back in the playoffs. But I think he could contribute.

Yeah, I don't think most of us are talking about him being a major factor. But bring him in slowly, a couple of plays a game, and after a few weeks of getting reps in practice, he might be able to provide a solid 5-10 plays a game towards the end of the season. Who knows, maybe he even offers something on special teams as well? Sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

I don't think the front office is relying on Starks as "the answer" at this point though. Give me a break. We're just talking about a few plays a game and depth.

I definitely think that he would offer more than Dimitri Nance. Starks knows all of our plays, and I believe that he has a better skill-set.

I see Nance being cut in favor of him.

I hope Starks is 100% healthy when he comes off PUP after week 6. The Pack sure needs a spark in their running game.

beast (13h) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (13h) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (18h) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (18h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (19h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (19h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (19h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (23h) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (23h) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin
