Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Colt McCoy

Friday, November 7, 10:55 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been steady this season, ranking fourth among all signal-callers in passing touchdowns heading into a Week 10 away matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers surrender the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks and could pose Rodgers' toughest challenge yet. On the other side, however, Pittsburgh's defense has been inconsistent, allowing over 30 points in half of its games. If Los Angeles can keep rolling offensively, Rodgers should see enough passing volume to deliver for fantasy purposes. He's not the safest streaming option this week, but he can be started in a pinch and viewed as a low-end QB2 on Sunday night.

Former NFL quarterback Colt McCoy has announced his retirement and will join NBC Sports for its Big Ten college football coverage. McCoy, a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist during his college career at Texas, set an NCAA Division I record with 45 career wins as a four-year starter from 2006 to 2009. He led the Longhorns to the BCS National Championship game in 2010, capping off a perfect 12-0 regular season with a Big 12 title. Drafted in the third round by the Cleveland Browns in 2010, McCoy amassed an 11-25 record over his 36 NFL starts. His final NFL stint was with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023, where he played in two preseason games before being released due to elbow issues. Over his career, McCoy also played for the New York Giants, Washington Commanders, San Francisco 49ers, and Cleveland Browns, finishing with 7,975 passing yards, 34 touchdowns, and 32 interceptions in 56 games.
