Fantasy impact: Starks isn’t the explosive player that Lacy is, but he’s a solid veteran with five years of experience in Green Bay. X-rays for a fracture were negative but reports today say Lacy suffered a low ankle sprain.

The Packers added to their lead when Mason Crosby came in on 4th and 3, to kick a 54 yard field goal that the kicker put plenty of leg into. Aaron Rodgers then led the Packers on a 10-play 80-yard drive that culminated with a 5-yard TD pass to Tight End Richard Rodgers. “If there’s an opportunity there for me, I’m going to try to make the most out of it”. While Wilson was attempting to throw a screen pass to Lynch, Packer linebacker Jayrone Elliott made a one-handed interception only to fumble the ball immediately after and a scrum for the ball took place.
The skill of Starks is not where the concern on the Packers behalf will come from.
In the season opener at St. Louis, Dion Bailey started at strong safety and played the entire game in a 34-31 overtime defeat.
Reviewing both the team’s film and the television replay of the game helped clarify some of Carroll’s thinking about some of the controversial officiating calls Sunday.
The Seahawks and Packers played in the NFC Championship game and that matchup saw a wild comeback and that fateful onside kick. They were then forced to punt after Seattle defensive end Michael Bennett sacked Rodgers at the GB 10 on 3rd and 8. Does that signify a lack of faith in getting fourth-quarter returns from the ground game or is it a recognition that this offensive line is a work in progress?
During the two games Boyd saw action in, he recorded just one tackle last week against the Chicago Bears and none against the Seattle Seahawks. We’re expecting a better day, game flow permitting, against a weak Steelers secondary that allowed the fourth most passing yards to the position past year , and nine receptions for 97 yards to the Patriots’ Julian Edelman in Week 1.
The Seahawks’ last two series ended in turnovers. Probably a little more bettor friendly than 2 weeks ago. “I’m always ready”, Starks said.

“In the middle of their defense is where you can find some soft spots, that’s kind of what we targeted there”, Rodgers said.
