QUARTERBACK

Aaron Rodgers ($9000) Packers vs. Titans – I know Rodgers is the highest QB on the week and its not going out on a limb to recommend him again this week. However, this Green Bay offense right now has just completely given up on their running game and let Rodgers go wild. You saw it last week, even in a game where the Packers offense looked terrible and the Colts made it tough on them, Rodgers ended up with 27 points on FanDuel. The Titans are currently ranked 20th against the pass and I don’t see any reason why the Packers will make a big shift in their game plan, even with James Starks potentially coming back. Rodgers has also started to run a big more, adding over 100 total yards in the past two games.

Carson Palmer ($7900) Cardinals vs. 49ers – Again I am back to Palmer in a wonderful match up against another one of the worst defenses in football this season. The beautiful thing with Palmer this season is that very few people give him respect and very few people click on that name when building their lineups. If you look at the numbers, the 49ers are only allowing 235 passing yards per game, which puts them 11th best in football. However, they are absolutely atrocious against the run which just means they have to pick their poison. When opponents are gaining nearly 200 yards a game on the ground, why throw the ball? With David Johnson being such a dynamic back and one of the best in football, I think the 49ers might at least attempt to give him a bit more attention than a normal running back. The thing I like here is that the Cardinals do like to throw the ball in the red zone and there is no doubt they are going to score a ton of points. Palmer might only throw for 200 yards, but could easily get 3 or 4 touchdowns to go with it.

Carson Wentz ($6800) Eagles vs. Falcons – The shine has worn off on Wentz after a fantastic start to his career in Philadelphia, who have now lost 4 of their past five games. Wentz hasn’t stopped throwing in their last two games, compiling 90 passes attempts while having only 1 of those go for a touchdown. No surprise, his price has come way down and now he gets a match up that he should be able to excel in. It will take some stones to go this route, but the Falcons have allowed more fantasy points to the quarterback position than any other team in football. They are allowing 290 yards a game and with the strength of their offense, Wentz might be playing catch up and airing it out 50 times.

Others I Like – Ben Roethlisberger ($7700), Andy Dalton ($7500) Dak Prescott ($7700)
