Quarterbacks

Aaron Rodgers (START): Zero. That’s the number of times Aaron Rodgers has gone consecutive games without throwing a touchdown in his career. There’s no need to overreact after Rodgers was held score-less against Chicago.

It was by no fault of his own. Davante Adams dropped two simple touchdown passes in the end zone, leaving Ty Montgomery and Christine Michael to rack up three rushing touchdowns between them.

Need more reassurance? Rodgers has scored at least 15 fantasy points in eight of his past nine games, surpassing the 20-point mark seven times in that span. He’s thrown 10 touchdowns with no interceptions in his past five games.

Minnesota has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to QBs over the past two weeks. Start Rodgers with confidence at home.

Sam Bradford (SIT): Bradford is the No. 26 QB over the past four weeks and shouldn’t go anywhere near your lineup.

Green Bay’s defense has improved in recent weeks, the unit allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points to QBs in their past two games. Bradford has failed to score double-digit fantasy points in three of his past five games.

Do you need any more reasons to not start him this week?
