Aaron Rodgers Fantasy

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went 27-for-35 for 255 yards, throwing two touchdowns and one interception during the team's 14-12 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was an impressive performance from the reigning MVP, as Tampa Bay had surrendered a total of just 13 points during the first two weeks. Green Bay was missing Sammy Watkins and rookie Christian Watson, but the trio of Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Robert Tonyan stepped up and totaled 155 of Rodgers' 255 passing yards. Putting up these numbers against a stout defense like Tampa Bay's is a promising sign that the Packers passing attack is starting to take form in the post-Davante Adams era. The 39-year-old will face the New England Patriots in Week 4 and should be considered a back-end QB1 for fantasy purposes.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers Sunday. The 39-year-old looked much better last Sunday against the Chicago Bears, throwing for 234 yards and two touchdowns. However, Rodgers still finished outside the top 15 for fantasy managers, and he is now going to face a Tampa Bay defense that has allowed 13 total points through two games. Not only will the reigning MVP face an elite pass defense, but he will be without veteran receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring), while Christian Watson (hamstring) and Randall Cobb (illness) are questionable heading into the weekend. Once again, Rodgers could be short on pass-catching talent, capping his fantasy scoring ceiling. There are potentially better streaming options on the waiver wire this week that are less risky to start, but Rodgers will head into Sunday as a borderline top 15 option at the position.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee show that he would like the offense to rely heavily on running backs Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Rodgers mentioned that both of his stud running backs should be getting "at least 15 touches each." Jones has seen 26 touches in two games so far after having a limited role in Week 1, but he went off for 170 total yards and two touchdowns in Week 2 when he touched the ball 18 times. Dillon has handled 28 carries and six receptions through the first two weeks of the season, as he led the way in Week 1 with 10 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown. Both players will continue to possess standalone value moving forward, but Jones looks like the more valuable fantasy asset if the two will be splitting touches evenly.
