Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Brock Purdy

Tuesday, November 11, 9:41 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers struggled in a Week 10 loss, completing 16 of his 31 pass attempts for 161 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Fortunately, he is poised to bounce back at home against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Although the Steelers lost to the Bengals on the road back in Week 7, Rodgers went off for 249 yards and four touchdowns. With Pittsburgh favored and Cincinnati surrendering the fourth-most fantasy points per contest to opposing signal-callers, Rodgers is back on the fantasy radar as a high-end QB2 and quality streaming option on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will have an "aggressive practice" on Wednesday with the goal of starting on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard. Purdy hasn't played in a game since aggravating his turf-toe injury during a Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 25-year-old has been a limited participant in practice recently, but he looks to be on track to make his return in Week 11 if all goes according to plan. Star running back Christian McCaffrey said Wednesday that "he looks like Brock," and noted that Purdy is running and throwing well at practice. Purdy's status will be closely monitored this week, and if he is able to return, he will rank as a low-end QB1 on Sunday against the Cardinals.
