Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or C.J. Stroud

Sunday, December 7, 9:18 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of 34 pass attempts for 284 yards and a touchdown in his team's crucial Week 14 win over the Baltimore Ravens. The 42-year-old also turned back the clock by recording his first rushing touchdown since the 2022 season. Making his second start since suffering multiple fractures in his left wrist, Rodgers appeared far more comfortable in Week 14 against Baltimore than he did in Pittsburgh's Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Across 12 games this season, Rodgers has now thrown for 2,370 yards, 20 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He profiles as a mid-tier fantasy QB2 heading into Pittsburgh's Week 15 showdown with the Miami Dolphins.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud got a big win over the Colts in his return from a concussion last week, and he'll be in another huge matchup this week against the tough Chiefs' defense on Sunday Night Football. Stroud completed 22 of 35 passes for 276 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in last week's win, but looked very sharp overall, even though his fantasy numbers weren't huge. One encouraging sign is that he did have 35 pass attempts, continuing the team's recent trend of throwing the ball more during their current winning streak. If that trend continues again this week, Stroud has good upside if he can convert touchdowns. He's the No. 21 QB in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, making him a low-end QB2 that does bring potential upside despite his tough primetime matchup.
