Aaron Rodgers' Fantasy Football update & predictions

Should you pick Aaron Rodgers this week for your Fantasy Football team? If you ask us, the answer is a definitive yes. The Lions defense is currently dead last in NFL in terms of yards allowed per game and 27th in the league for passing yards allowed per game. They are averaging a league-high 32.1 points allowed per game.

With the Packers looking to get back to winning ways, one can expect Rodgers to go all-out and rack up at least 20 points for fantasy owners this week.


Aaron Rodgers alternative picks for your Fantasy Team

In case you're a Chicago Bears fan or just don't have much faith in the Packers QB leading your fantasy offense, here are three alternative picks for Aaron Rodgers to put in your fantasy team:

Justin Herbert

Expect the Los Angeles Chargers to put up a crazy stat line this week against the Atlanta Falcons thanks to their leaky defense. While the quarterback has struggled for form of late, he should bounce back. The Falcons have given up at least 18.8 fantasy points to four quarterbacks this NFL season.

Tua Tagovailoa

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa will be another safe bet for your fantasy team this week after putting on a show against the Lions last week. Averaging close to 20 points in each game he starts, Tagovailoa will look to continue his red-hot form against the Bears.

Geno Smith

Perhaps the most underrated quarterback in the NFL right now is Seattle Seahawks star Geno Smith. Questions were raised about the QB's ability to lead the Seahawks offense following the departure of Russell Wilson.

Smith, though, has fully embraced the role and dropped a 20-bomb this season in five appearances. Against the faltering Arizona Cardinals, Smith could be set for another lights-out performance.
