Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Offer Much Streaming Appeal in Week 2

Tuesday, September 15, 6:20 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a tough matchup with the New England Patriots in Week 2. Rodgers had a somewhat pedestrian performance in the Steelers' 20-13 season-opening victory over the Atlanta Falcons. He completed 24 out of 40 pass attempts (60%) for 221 yards and one touchdown. He did not throw an interception. Rodgers averaged just 5.5 yards per attempt and was sacked twice. The Patriots held the Seattle Seahawks to just 200 yards passing in Week 1, although Sam Darnold was injured early and the Seahawks had to rely on Drew Lock at quarterback. The Patriots also boasted one of the NFL's best passing defenses in 2025. Rodgers is currently rostered in just 10% of Yahoo leagues and can likely stay on the waiver wire for Week 2 in most formats.

Lamar Jackson News

Lamar Jackson Looks Impressive During Season Opener

Sunday, September 13, 6:27 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continued to show why he is considered one of the best in the game on Sunday. Jackson came ready to play during the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. He completed 17-of-25 passing attempts for 324 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions. Jackson also rushed the ball seven times for 40 yards and another touchdown during the Week 1 victory. The Ravens have a new offensive coordinator in Declan Doyle, but that didn't impact Jackson's play on the field. When healthy, few players in the game can match the talent level of Jackson. He'll remain an elite fantasy option heading into the Week 2 matchup versus the New Orleans Saints.
