Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Bo Nix

Friday, December 20, 8:50 PM

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers put together one of his best games of the season in a Week 15 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, throwing for 289 yards and three touchdowns. Rodgers will look to keep it going in a Week 16 home matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have been a plus matchup for quarterbacks this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the position. Rodgers has been playing his best football of the season of late with three multi-touchdown games over his past four contests. Fantasy managers can treat him as a mid-range QB2 heading into Week 16.

Despite the Denver Broncos' Week 16 Thursday night loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, rookie quarterback Bo Nix had a solid showing for his fantasy managers by going 29-for-40 for 263 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Nix was sacked twice for a loss of 18 yards and ran the ball three times for 25 yards in the 34-27 defeat. He fumbled once, but the Broncos were able to recover. Most importantly, the first-rounder out of Oregon avoided turnovers after tossing five interceptions the last two games. The 24-year-old looked really good in the first half against a strong defense, with both of his touchdown passes coming in the first two quarters, but he struggled in the second half and the vaunted Denver D was unable to hold a two-score lead. Nix has 250-plus passing yards in four of his last five games and will have clear QB1 upside in a great matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals next week.
