Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of his 36 pass attempts for 219 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Since returning from a Week 5 bye, Rodgers has topped 15 fantasy points in three straight contests. While that doesn't make him an elite fantasy asset, he seems settled in as a steady, high-floor QB2. In Week 9, Rodgers and the Steelers will face the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts, who allow the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks as teams try to keep pace with their high-powered offense. Given Pittsburgh's recent defensive struggles, Rodgers should remain busy on Sunday and profiles as a viable streaming option.
