It seems to me like fuel wise, a starship has enough full to start from earth, go to orbit and then come down with one tank. Most of the fuel is expended on launch. While you will need to expend some fuel to slow down, I don’t see why the starship shouldn’t be able to touch earth with a lot of fuel inside.
