Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Jake Ferguson

Friday, October 17, 12:39 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of his 34 pass attempts for 249 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions during Thursday's Week 7 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed for six yards and didn't take a sack. The four touchdowns worked wonders as Rodgers attempted to mount a late comeback on national television, but you could also argue that his two interceptions were the difference between a win and a loss in Cincinnati. One of the two turnovers wasn't exactly Rodgers' fault as his sideline pass was ripped out of DK Metcalf's hands, but the other came on an overthrown pass that the veteran quarterback would have loved to get back. With that being said, fantasy managers won't gripe too much about the two turnovers, as his four touchdowns were more than enough to boost his point total. He's a solid mid-range QB2 heading into Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has crushed through six games this season, ranking as the TE1 in PPR points and outscoring the next TE by almost 14 points. Ferguson may see a reduced share of targets in Week 7 against Washington as star WR CeeDee Lamb returns to the lineup. Ferguson was still very productive in the two full games with Lamb, catching 14 of 18 targets for 101 yards. The tight end remains a dangerous red-zone threat and Dak Prescott's preferred target underneath. Ferguson remains a top-tier fantasy TE option for Week 7, with a potential high-scoring matchup against Washington.
