Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Michael Penix Jr.

Sunday, September 28, 2:09 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 18 of 22 pass attempts for 200 yards and a touchdown in a Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Rodgers has now thrown for 786 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions through his first four games in Pittsburgh. The 41-year-old didn't light up the stat sheet against Minnesota, but he was able to be fairly efficient without turning the football over. Rodgers profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 at best and will be on his bye week in Week 5.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. got back on track in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders, completing 20 of his 26 passes for 313 yards and two scores. He did throw one interception as well and was sacked once. The former first-rounder's 90.5 QBR for the game was a solid increase from the 71.3 rating he had going into the contest, and there was a marked improvement in the second-year quarterback's average yards per pass attempt, going from 6.1 in Weeks 1-3 to 12.0 in Week 4 (the highest of any QB). While it was a great bounce-back performance after two down weeks, the 25-year-old draws Buffalo in Week 5 after the team comes out of their bye, and the Bills have limited opposing passers to 125.8 yards per game thus far, which is the fewest yards passing per game in the entire NFL, so fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere for streaming options the next time Penix takes the field.
