If James Starks and Brandon Saine are out, play Ryan Grant. If two are active, sit both

Should You Start Ryan Grant on Thanksgiving?

Will the Packers Ryan Grant outscore James Starks?

Green Bay Packers running back Ryan Grant should be a good fantasy flex play on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions.

Grant, who at the beginning of the 2010 season was the Packers’ lead back before an ankle injury in Week 1 sidelined him for the season, has gone from splitting carries with James Starks to seeing the second-year player get the majority of the carries. Starks, however, sprained his knee and ankle in Week 11, and is not expected to play today vs. Detroit.
