Though Green Bay running back Alex Green has had limited snaps coming off a knee injury, Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel said Green has been a more dynamic performer than James Starks so far.Fantasy Spin:Starks has received roughly three times as many snaps as Green, but McGinn said Green is the one who has stood out in training camp. The Packers didn't bring in a veteran running back to compete with Starks, so that should tell you they believe Green will be able to bounce back from his injury and contribute this season.

Packers WR Randall Cobb
From the moment Randall Cobb first arrived in Green Bay, it was apparent that the former Kentucky star would add yet another wrinkle in the Packers already potent offense.
As a rookie, Cobb quickly emerged as a homerun threat in the return game—something the Packers haven’t had since the mid 1990s with Desmond Howard. And while Cobb hasn’t collected...

Newhouse didn’t appear to be limping...

Why?
Packers kicker Mason Crosby was having a near-perfect camp. Everything was going swimmingly. I haven’t had to write about him or even so much as mention his name the past week. (Which is the way I like it).
Then the Packers decided to mess with a good thing on Family Night.
Under the guise of “getting used to the new stadium” (with the new south end zone construction...

Greg Jennings Suffers Concussion

August 06, 2012
Wide receiver Greg Jennings suffered a concussion during a team scrimmage Sunday night, according to Ty Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Fantasy Spin:
Consider Jennings day-to-day, and this should not be an issue as the star wideout does not have a history of concussions. And Randall Cobb is one key receiver that will benefit from extra reps while Jennings is recovering.

It is no surprise to me that James Starks is struggling at Packers’ Camp. He just isn’t that talented. Donald Driver said he would score 8 TDs…yeah, sure Don. This is a spread attack that doesn’t run a ton and Starks didn’t fit in the system last season. I have been calling for Alex Green who is a powerful guy with a bit of juice to get...
