Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown 14 touchdown passes through his first six games of the season and appears set for another solid outing against the team that drafted him, the Green Bay Packers. A victory on Sunday night would make Rodgers just the fifth quarterback in NFL history to defeat all 32 teams. Though Green Bay's defense has shown flashes of excellence, it has been middle-of-the-pack against opposing signal-callers and far more effective against the run. If Pittsburgh is forced to lean on the passing game, Rodgers will have his full complement of weapons, with wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) suiting up for the first time since Week 4. While the 41-year-old can't be considered a must-start, he offers plenty of upside in this revenge spot and can be viewed as a high-end QB2 with streaming appeal.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. hauled in seven of his 10 targets for 62 yards in Week 7, which was his second seven-catch performance in six games thus far and the first time he recorded double-digit targets, now averaging just over six targets per game. The 6-foot-6 tight end owns a solid 19.3 percent target share, putting him in the low-end TE1 conversation most weeks, however, he's been able to find the end zone just one time all season, leaving him as just the 16th-overall TE in half-point PPR leagues. Still, the 25-year-old is back in the TE1 conversation in a home game against the Dolphins, a defense that has given up 29 points per game over the last three weeks. Teams have preferred to run against Miami, but with six teams on bye and it being National Tight Ends' Day (he caught two TDs last year on that day), the former first-round draft pick sets up as a low-end TE1 again.
Still trying to decide between Rodgers and Pitts Sr.? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Aaron Rodgers is projected to score 12.5 points this week while Kyle Pitts Sr. is projected to score 9.2 points.
