Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Cameron Ward

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is 2-1 with seven touchdowns through his first three games but will face his toughest test yet against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Minnesota has surrendered the third-fewest fantasy points and just three total touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks this season. While it's fair to note that the Vikings haven't faced a proven signal-caller yet, the Steelers' offense hasn't looked particularly sharp, especially over the past two weeks. Rodgers and his pass-catchers did show signs of life last week against the Patriots, but the 41-year-old still finished with only 139 passing yards in the victory. Although this international matchup in Dublin, Ireland, should be interesting, it isn't projected to be a high-scoring affair. That said, fantasy managers should avoid starting Rodgers as anything more than a low-end QB2 in superflex formats.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward (ankle, calf) is ready to go after getting in back-to-back full practice sessions. Ward was limited to begin the week due to multiple minor injuries, but is fine for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. It has been a slow start for the No. 1 overall pick. Ward has completed 54-of-99 passing attempts for 506 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in three games. It's worth noting that quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree will take over play-calling this weekend. Possibly, Hardegree can unlock something out of Ward that Brian Callahan couldn't. At the moment, Ward is really only worth a considering in superflex leagues.
