Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Justin Herbert

Sunday, December 7, 9:18 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of 34 pass attempts for 284 yards and a touchdown in his team's crucial Week 14 win over the Baltimore Ravens. The 42-year-old also turned back the clock by recording his first rushing touchdown since the 2022 season. Making his second start since suffering multiple fractures in his left wrist, Rodgers appeared far more comfortable in Week 14 against Baltimore than he did in Pittsburgh's Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Across 12 games this season, Rodgers has now thrown for 2,370 yards, 20 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He profiles as a mid-tier fantasy QB2 heading into Pittsburgh's Week 15 showdown with the Miami Dolphins.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert battled through a broken left hand during Monday night's 22-19 overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He completed 12 of 26 passes for 139 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and a lost fumble while adding 10 carries for a team-leading 66 yards on the ground. The star quarterback was under siege all night, finishing with a 68.3% pressure rate and a career-high seven sacks. It was the sixth-highest pressure rate in a game over the last 10 seasons, per Next Gen Stats. Herbert scrambled more than usual with the constant pressure and recorded his most rushing yards in a game this season. However, he struggled as a passer, and this game was just the third of his career with a completion percentage of 50% or below. Herbert will take some time this week to rest his hand and gear up for another tough matchup in a divisional clash with the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15.
