TE – Richard Rodgers
Last Game:
Rodgers – 2 targets, 1 catch, 3 receiving yards, 1 TD; 6.30 fantasy points
Rodgers may not have done much in his follow-up to the season-saving catch and yardage totals of that most recent Lions matchup, but that wasn’t a sustainable level of production anyway.
What he did here was show yet again that he is a worthy red-zone option.
While he only caught one pass on two targets, that pass was in the end-zone. That saved what would have been a pitiful fantasy showing following a career-best game.
I see this week as a nice middle-ground, one that I would be thrilled to see become his weekly level of expected production.
Give him a few catches, some decent yardage, and another red-zone score and I’m happy.
Playing the fantasy game with a guy so TD-reliant for a good day is dangerous (ask any James Jones holders), but if he’s your option you probably don’t have one of the few stalwarts available.
Week 15 Predictions:
Rodgers – 5 catches, 70 receiving yards, 1 TD; 13.00 fantasy points
Verdict: Gimme Them Red-Zone Looks
