Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Jaxson Dart

Tuesday, October 7, 6:23 PM

Through the first four weeks of the season, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was the QB16 in fantasy with eight passing touchdowns and three interceptions while leading his new team to a 3-1 record. Although his most prolific outing came in the season opener, Rodgers finished as a top-24 fantasy option in each of his games. He'll now return from a Week 5 bye to face the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 6. Despite their 1-4 record, Cleveland has been stout defensively, limiting opposing quarterbacks to 15 fantasy points per contest. Rodgers can be added and started in favorable matchups, but he's not an ideal streaming candidate this week. The 41-year-old checks in as QB27 in RotoBaller's Week 6 rankings.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (hamstring) was removed from the injury report on Wednesday and will play on Thursday night in Week 6 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. The 22-year-old first-rounder came out of the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints with a sore left hamstring, but it was never really viewed as anything serious, even heading into a short week. Dart upset the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4 in his first NFL start, but he took a step back and committed three turnovers on Sunday to give the Saints their first win of the season. There are going to be plenty of ups and downs for Dart in his rookie season, especially with top wideout Malik Nabers (knee) lost for the year. Dart's dual-threat abilities give him upside as a QB2 in fantasy, although he'll be one to fade against a tough Eagles defense that is coming off their first loss of the year.
