QB – Aaron Rodgers
The past couple of weeks haven’t been the the best overall for Aaron Rodgers.
He had a rough time against Seattle where he didn’t reach 200 yards passing, and then the Jets started out strong and kept him from having an impact during most of the first half.
Then came the second half and the scoreboard was turned around completely.
In the end Rodgers put up over 300 yards and multiple TDs, which brought about a pretty good showing for his fantasy owners. This week he should be able to provide another good day fantasy-wise, though if the offensive line doesn’t do well it will definitely not be the prettiest path to it.
The Lions’ D-Line is still strong and scary, led as always by Ndamukong Suh, and the LBs are headed by the still underrated Stephen Tulloch, but the secondary is still a major weakness.
If Rodgers can survive the onslaught of pressure Suh and Co. have the potential to bring, he could have a field day attacking the hapless CBs the Lions have assembled.
Prediction: 300 yards, 2 TDs
Verdict: Must-Start
