    Beanie.. Grant has Starks to take away some carries in an already pass heavy offense.

    Beanie Wells, is the starter. Ryan Grant was basically almost cut, in till he agreed to a pay cut, all reports were he was gone. He saved his job for now, but in the preseason he has looked slow, and not like his old self, i don't expect him to be the starter by seasons end, or even in week 4.

    Wells.

    Starks will be the starter in no time in Green Bay.

    Wells. He has no other competition. He looked good in the preseason compared to Grant.

    Grant probably won't get half his teams carries this year, and definitely won't get the goal line carries (those will go to Kuhn and Starks) Wells will get 80% of his teams carries at least, and will receive almost all the goal line carries. Grant just missed an entire season due to injury. The Packers were actually going to cut him if he didn't take a pay cut. The answer is Wells, without a doubt.

    Wells easily, having Kolb will open up more opportunities. Grant is injury prone and not the main back.

    I have Wells and I think he has more upside and no strong backup at this time but I liked Grant before he got hurt. I am worried about Beanie getting hurt. I am leaning toward rolling with Beanie.

    Ill have to go with Beanie here. Hightower is gone, and Wells has been running with authority this preseason.

    Beanie is gonna have a breakout season and catches the ball far better, plus Hightower is gone.

    Grant will just have a break...+/- on the first injury is week 4.

    Both aren't great options. In a standard scoring league beanie is ok. and overall Beanie is the better pick no matter the scoring system

    ARI have a crap O-line and a crappy team and Wells hasn't proven jack in his career. He's an injury risk too.
    Grant is in a time-share, had to take a pay cut, and has injury concerns himself.

    In other words, both are bad options , but I'd lean Wells because he has an easier schedule and will get more reps.

    You'd have to go with Beanie imo. Better chance for him to do well on a crappy Cards team.

    A lot of agreement on Starks stepping in as starter at sometime of the season for Green Bay.

    I hope you stuck with Wells.
