Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Joe Burrow

Saturday, December 13, 11:30 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is coming off his highest passing yardage total of the season in Week 14 and will take on the Miami Dolphins at home on Monday Night Football. Miami enters on a hot streak, having won four straight games while limiting opposing quarterbacks to the 10th-fewest fantasy points per contest over that span. That said, the Dolphins' run defense has been even more formidable than their pass defense. With Pittsburgh struggling to establish the ground game lately, the Steelers could be forced to lean more heavily on Rodgers' arm. Still, while this matchup is expected to be competitive, it is not projected to be particularly high-scoring, which caps the 41-year-old's fantasy upside. Fantasy managers should avoid relying on Rodgers as anything more than a low-end QB2 in superflex formats in Week 15.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was having a fantastic showing in the Week 14 meeting with the Bills. Unfortunately, his solid day ended abruptly after he threw interceptions on back-to-back drives late in the fourth quarter, allowing Buffalo to erase a deficit and pick up the victory. Still, Burrow's day wasn't a complete flop, much to the delight of fantasy managers, with the signal-caller throwing for 284 yards, four touchdowns, and two picks while completing 25 of his 36 attempts. The 2020 No. 1 overall selection was in the news during the week after he appeared frustrated and displeased while speaking to the media, leaving more questions than answers not only about his future in Cincinnati, but as a quarterback in the National Football League in general. For now, the Bengals will look to keep their extremely low postseason hopes alive in Week 15 versus the Ravens. These clubs just met in Week 13, with Burrow ending the contest by passing for 261 yards and two touchdowns. He won't have Tee Higgins (concussion) once again. However, Burrow did just fine without him the last time around, keeping him a starting option in all fantasy formats against an inconsistent Ravens defense.
