Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Spencer Rattler

Friday, September 26, 6:30 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is 2-1 with seven touchdowns through his first three games but will face his toughest test yet against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Minnesota has surrendered the third-fewest fantasy points and just three total touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks this season. While it's fair to note that the Vikings haven't faced a proven signal-caller yet, the Steelers' offense hasn't looked particularly sharp, especially over the past two weeks. Rodgers and his pass-catchers did show signs of life last week against the Patriots, but the 41-year-old still finished with only 139 passing yards in the victory. Although this international matchup in Dublin, Ireland, should be interesting, it isn't projected to be a high-scoring affair. That said, fantasy managers should avoid starting Rodgers as anything more than a low-end QB2 in superflex formats.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler went 28-for-39 for 218 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 3's blowout loss to the Seahawks. The interception was his first turnover of the season, which was one of the few positives in what has otherwise been a rough beginning for New Orleans. Life won't get easier for the young quarterback, as the Saints now head to Buffalo to face a Bills defense allowing just 131.3 passing yards per game. Rattler is still searching for his first career win, sitting at 0-9 as a starter, and it wouldn't be surprising if rookie quarterback Tyler Shough sees action in a game that isn't expected to be close. Rattler should remain far from fantasy lineups this week.
