Packers Ryan Grant said via text message early Monday morning upon his return to Green Bay that the x-rays were “all good.”

After the game, Grant, who came to the sideline and then dropped to his knees in pain after getting sandwiched on a carry with 11 minutes left in the game, didn’t think he’d suffered anything serious. He was able to return to the game and carried three more times after the hit.

"I'm fine," Grant said. "I just took a shot across the back. They just wanted to make sure."

Packers RB James Starks had 85 yards on just nine carries, thanks to a 40-yard run, while Ryan Grant carried six times for 25 yards. Both players also had three receptions, with Starks gaining 30 more yards and Grant gaining 14.

For the second straight week, there was a large disparity in snaps – unofficially, Starks played 37 while Grant played 16 – so as long as he stays healthy, it appears Starks will see more playing time.

Fantasy Impact:

Starks seems like the guy to own in this duo, which is something we've been preaching here at 4for4.com since training camp. Starks certainly hasn't done anything to change that in the first two weeks of the season and is a borderline RB2-flex player.

In week one, Ryan Grant was Green Bay's starting running back against New Orleans. But after two series, it became the James Starks show.

The Packers decided before the game that Starks would play in most spread formations. That's the main reason why Starks finished with 45 snaps compared with Grant's 16. Starks carried 12 times, Grant carried nine.

All of John Kuhn's 21 snaps came at fullback in two-back sets. Rookie Alex Green didn't play from scrimmage.

Green Bay running backs coach Jerry Fontenot said Starks got the nod over Grant in spread sets because of "his ability to run in space" and "his ability to digest what the defense is giving us and being able to pass protect."

Although Starks gave up a fourth-quarter sack, Fontenot said that it probably was fair to say that he was more dependable in protection than Grant at this point. Starks' edge in protection isn't reading defenses but actually blocking a rusher, Fontenot said.

Fontenot said he wasn't sure how playing time would be divided Sunday in Carolina.

This provides more evidence as to why Starks is the better fantasy player right now.
