Aaron Rodgers A High-End QB2 Against Former Team

Saturday, October 25, 12:19 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown 14 touchdown passes through his first six games of the season and appears set for another solid outing against the team that drafted him, the Green Bay Packers. A victory on Sunday night would make Rodgers just the fifth quarterback in NFL history to defeat all 32 teams. Though Green Bay's defense has shown flashes of excellence, it has been middle-of-the-pack against opposing signal-callers and far more effective against the run. If Pittsburgh is forced to lean on the passing game, Rodgers will have his full complement of weapons, with wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) suiting up for the first time since Week 4. While the 41-year-old can't be considered a must-start, he offers plenty of upside in this revenge spot and can be viewed as a high-end QB2 with streaming appeal.

Dalton Schultz News

Dalton Schultz Can Be a TE1 vs. the 49ers

Saturday, October 25, 9:49 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (back/shoulder) was limited in practice this week, but does not have an injury designation for Week 8. The veteran tight end will likely be a big part of the passing game with Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) both ruled out. Last week, Schultz had a season-high nine catches for 98 yards against the Seahawks, and he has at least five catches in four straight games. He's a solid PPR contributor even though he is averaging under 10 yards per catch on the year and hasn't found the end zone yet this season. Schultz is the TE11 in RotoBaller's Week 8 rankings, and he can be a great bye-week fill-in as a fringe TE1 this week, with both a high ceiling and a high floor since he should be lined up for plenty of volume.
