Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Justin Fields

Tuesday, November 4, 6:32 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 25 of his 35 pass attempts for 203 yards and a touchdown in a Week 9 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Although this marked his fifth consecutive game surpassing 200 passing yards, the veteran's performance was modest for fantasy purposes. This matchup was expected to be high-scoring, but Pittsburgh's defense stepped up after allowing 30-plus points in back-to-back weeks. With the Steelers leading 24-7 early in the fourth quarter, Rodgers didn't need to do much to close things out. He'll provide more fantasy value in tighter contests, though predicting when those will come could be challenging. The 41-year-old remains a high-floor QB2 in superflex leagues ahead of a Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

When asked whether he expects to play on Sunday in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields said, "We'll see," according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. The Jets were leaning toward starting veteran Tyrod Taylor in their Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals before he came down with a knee injury that sidelined him. Even though Fields looked good in the comeback victory over Cincinnati, the Jets remain undecided on who to start under center this weekend against the Cleveland Browns as they come off their bye week. Head coach Aaron Glenn is probably going to play it close to the vest, so we may not know who is starting at QB for Gang Green until this weekend. The matchup is not fantasy-friendly, but Fields has much more fantasy upside because of his rushing ability outside of the pocket.
