Both OC Joe Philbin and RB coach Jerry Fontenot insist Ryan Grant's old burst is back. It's logical to wonder given the severity of his injury.

"I swear . . . I don't think he looks any different," Philbin said. "He looks like Ryan to me."

Grant will turn 29 in December. Despite entering the NFL in 2005 with the Giants, he has 919 career touches from scrimmage, counting playoffs.

"I know a running back's shelf life isn't real long but I wouldn't consider him old," Philbin said. "He's really only played 2½ years."

Grant reported at 218, about six pounds lighter than a year ago, after losing considerably more weight during his post-surgical rehabilitation.

"In terms of being muscularly developed, he's got a little bit of a ways to go," Fontenot said. "But physically, he's moving around great."

Ryan Grant clear RB1; Starks bulked up

James Starks came to Green Bay a new player this season.

For one, he's finally healthy. Injuries had dogged the running back since his junior year at the University at Buffalo. And two, he's bigger. Following a strict diet, Starks added eight pounds this offseason. He's up to 225.

Considering Starks is already taller than his peers at 6-foot-1, adding bulk was a good idea. Now, he hopes it helps him in the battle for carries with Ryan Grant.

Grant remains the No. 1 back right now. Back from his season-ending ankle injury, he's been working with the first team and playing well himself. But as all players at this position know, things can change on a dime during the course of the season. Mike McCarthy prefers the hot hand.

Fantasy Impact: 

Grant is shaping up as a nice value in the middle rounds as a RB3, but this situation could be fluid if Starks starts to outplay him.

A cult hero is returning to Green Bay - the Packers have re-signed running back John Kuhn.

Fantasy Impact: 

Kuhn generated some mild buzz last year. However, the emergence of James Starks and the return of Ryan Grant has crushed his fantasy value. Fantasy owners need to look elsewhere for a cult hero.

Green Bay RB Ryan Grant Looks Sharp

At running back, the first snap at Packers practice Saturday night belonged to veteran Ryan Grant. Grant, who missed most of 2010 with an ankle injury, practiced without limitations.

"I thought Ryan looked very well," Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy said. "He had a couple of runs that came out of there. He looked like his old self."

Fantasy Impact: 

There has been a lot of hype about James Starks after last year's Super Bowl run, but Grant was a solid starter before his injury and is going to play a prominent role in the Green Bay backfield. He could be a bargain on draft day.
