Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Baker Mayfield

Saturday, October 25, 12:19 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown 14 touchdown passes through his first six games of the season and appears set for another solid outing against the team that drafted him, the Green Bay Packers. A victory on Sunday night would make Rodgers just the fifth quarterback in NFL history to defeat all 32 teams. Though Green Bay's defense has shown flashes of excellence, it has been middle-of-the-pack against opposing signal-callers and far more effective against the run. If Pittsburgh is forced to lean on the passing game, Rodgers will have his full complement of weapons, with wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) suiting up for the first time since Week 4. While the 41-year-old can't be considered a must-start, he offers plenty of upside in this revenge spot and can be viewed as a high-end QB2 with streaming appeal.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee, oblique) is ready to go for the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Mayfield is a little banged up right now, but that's not going to stop him from suiting up. The 28-year-old wasn't able to offer much to fantasy managers last week. Mayfield threw for 228 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception in the loss to the Detroit Lions. As always, Mayfield will be playing shorthanded with Chris Godwin (leg), Mike Evans (collarbone), and Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) all sidelined. However, the Bucs will still have Emeka Egbuka, so Mayfield should be able to offer QB1 value against the below average Saints defense.
