Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Lamar Jackson

Friday, December 5, 8:33 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was a full participant in Friday's practice and is set to face the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Rodgers struggled in a Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, but this matchup is much more favorable on paper. Although the Ravens have improved defensively in recent weeks, they have still allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers. Just last week, Joe Burrow accumulated 261 passing yards and two scores against Baltimore. Nonetheless, the Steelers' offensive woes remain a major concern. Rodgers hasn't thrown multiple touchdowns in a contest since Week 8 and has failed to eclipse 200 yards in three straight starts. As a result, it's difficult to rely on Rodgers as anything more than a low-end QB2 in superflex formats heading into Sunday's road bout.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is set to play on Sunday in a divisional clash with the Steelers. Jackson did not participate in Thursday's practice, but according to head coach John Harbaugh, he will be under center in a game for the top spot in the AFC North. Jackson missed time earlier this season with a hamstring issue, and since returning, he has been hampered by an ankle injury that has left him looking out of sorts. His QB8 finish in Week 9 marked the last time he's landed inside the top 12 at the position, while he's finished as QB24 or lower for three straight weeks. He was close to completing multiple big plays in a Thanksgiving loss to the Bengals, and had any of them stood, fantasy managers might feel better about his prospects moving forward. As it stands, Jackson projects as RotoBaller's QB11 against a Steelers defense that has been one of the most generous to opposing quarterbacks all season long.
