Packers RB James Starks (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. We’ll monitor his progress this week. If Starks can’t play, Eddie Lacy would be a safer start, while DuJuan Harris would serve as his primary backup.

Packers Beat: Team wants to 'maintain a split' between Eddie Lacy and James Starks

The best rushing game of the season for the Green Bay Packers featured Eddie Lacy and James Starks each playing 50% of the offensive snaps. In drilling the Minnesota Vikings for 151 combined yards, the two played 27 offensive snaps apiece.

Don't expect this formula to change much Sunday at Miami. It appears the Packers plan to maintain a split.

Position coach Sam Gash views both as "complete" backs. And the 2013 rookie of the year benefited from the shared workload — Lacy was fresh for those second-half haymakers.

"To keep them fresh, I think is very important," Gash said. "To keep them fresh throughout the course of a game because we want to obviously get into a rhythm and get going."

Fantasy Impact: 

This is fine in theory, but Lacy is the better back. As long as he's running well, the team will continue to lean on him. He may not dominate touches like he did against the Bears, but he should see 60-70 percent of the carries the rest of the way.

Coach Mike McCarthy tried and tried to get the Green Bay Packers running game going with Eddie Lacy last Sunday at Soldier Field, neglecting James Starks in the process.

It was the second time in four games this season that Starks failed to carry the ball.

"James Starks should touch the football every single game," McCarthy said Tuesday. "That will not happen again."

Fantasy Impact: 

Expect Starks to have some kind of role in Thursday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Considering he has averaged 5.0 yards per carry on his limited (15) attempts this season, perhaps that could jump-start a running game that has sputtered through the first four games. Lacy did score a TD last week but carried 17 times for only 48 yards. His schedule starts to ease a little so now looks to be the time for Lacy to step up.
