Emergency Bye-Week RB: Ditch Tate or Starks for Stephens-Howling?

Primary RBs on my roster are Jones-Drew, Sproles, and Mathews. The first two are on bye weeks. I have Starks and Tate both waiting for them to heal and be a viable flex option in a pinch. Is it worth dropping one of them for Stephens-Howling (I'm a fan), or should I start Starks and hope that he gets the lion's share of carries for the Packers this week?

can't drop tate - one bad hammy for foster and you've hit the lottery - don't throw way your ticket before the drawing. i have no issue with dropping starks, but benson is said to be out 6-8 weeks and while green looks to be the lead dog in g.b.'s backfield starks has produced a few nice games in the past. but if you have to lose one - for me it's starks easy. and since you're a fan...go for it - i can't fault guys for picking up players the favor - unless it actually hurts the team - and it doesn't seem like it will in this case. good luck corey

Howling is going to split carries with 2 others fighting for a job.. I would wait until after this week to decide.. But Starks is okay to drop for me.
