Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Jordan Whittington

Tuesday, October 28, 7:56 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of his 36 pass attempts for 219 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Since returning from a Week 5 bye, Rodgers has topped 15 fantasy points in three straight contests. While that doesn't make him an elite fantasy asset, he seems settled in as a steady, high-floor QB2. In Week 9, Rodgers and the Steelers will face the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts, who allow the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks as teams try to keep pace with their high-powered offense. Given Pittsburgh's recent defensive struggles, Rodgers should remain busy on Sunday and profiles as a viable streaming option.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington will move up the depth chart for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Rams will be without top wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) for this game. That means, Whittington could move into the No. 2 role behind Davante Adams for this game. The 25-year-old has been quiet, but saw a season-high four targets and played 92 percent of the offensive snaps during last week's game. The expectation is that Whittington will be more involved with Nacua unable to play. There should be flex value here against a shaky Jaguars secondary this weekend.
