Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones look to rebound for the Pack

The Washington Commanders host the Green Bay Packers in a match-up of NFL teams searching for answers. The Commanders are forced to turn to Taylor Heinicke with the injury to starting quarterback Carson Wentz. Heinicke injected life into a listless offense a year ago, but can he produce an encore?

For Green Bay, it's all about Aaron Rodgers developing trust with his new cast of characters on offense.

Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.

Best quarterback picks

Cash and tournament games: Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers (DraftKings $6K, FanDuel $7.1K)

It has been rough sailing for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense early on. Rodgers is without Davante Adams for the first time in a long time, and it shows. As chemistry with his young receivers builds, the passing game will improve. The Commanders are bottom 1/3 in the league against the quarterback and wide receiver positions. If not now, then when, Rodgers?

Best running back picks

Cash Games: Aaron Jones, RB, Green Bay Packers (DraftKings $7.6K, FanDuel $6.8K)

When stars drop in price and are low-owned, it signals an opportunity to buy. Aaron Jones is a victim of DFS recency bias. The Packers offense has come off the rails, and Jones has suffered.

With their backs against the walls, why wouldn't the Packers turn to their most talented offensive weapon?

Tournament: Brian Robinson Jr., RB, Washington Commanders (DraftKings $5.5K, FanDuel $6.1K)

The best way to beat the Packers defense is to run the ball on them. The Commanders will usher in Taylor Heinicke under center, replacing the injured Carson Wentz. Expect the Commanders to establish the ground game in this one.

With the emergence of Brian Robinson Jr. as the lead back, don't be surprised if the rookie back receives 15-20 touches against Green Bay.

Wide receivers and tight ends

Cash game: Curtis Samuel, WR, Washington Commanders (DraftKings $5.3, FanDuel $5.5)

Curtis Samuel has received more work than any other receiver in Washington this season. Some DFS players may think that a new quarterback under center will change things, but the coaching staff has been consistent in getting Samuel involved.

Tournament: Allen Lazard, WR, Green Bay Packers (DraftKings $6.1, FanDuel $6.6)

The way to defeat the Commanders defense is through the air. Allen Lazard has been an under-the-radar strong performer as of late. At a modest price and under 10 percent owned, he can tilt the tournament in your favor.
