Disclaimer: For any fantasy scoring numbers, I will be using those generated by Yahoo! fantasy football. It is the system I have played a majority of my fantasy football on over the years – and currently play on. Other setups are fine – I’ve worked with ESPN and NFL fantasy football teams in the past – but seeing as I have the most experience using this scoring system, I’ll stick with using their methods of scoring.

If you thought that game against Chicago two weeks ago was great, then what happened last weekend had to be even more enjoyable. Sure the Bears are the Packers’ bitter rival, but right now they just are not a challenge to any above-average teams.

Even with Mark Sanchez having to fill in for Nick Foles as the starting QB, the Eagles have a legit offense and a defense that had shown an ability to make plays most weeks. The way the Packers completely routed them last weekend (53-20; not as close as the score indicates) was amazing to watch, and a great sign going forward.

But now it’s a new week, with a familiar opponent: the Minnesota Vikings. Last time these teams met, Green Bay started off it’s season-long run of dominant home play in a 42-10 victory. Will we see a repeat performance on the road? Or will Minnesota get revenge in an upset?

Those aren’t my questions to answer. My questions range more along the lines of “How good is Aaron Rodgers going to play this week?” or “Will the defense put up another strong effort?”.

It’s fantasy-time people! And who better to start with than the quarterback …
