Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Tre Tucker

Friday, October 17, 12:39 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of his 34 pass attempts for 249 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions during Thursday's Week 7 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed for six yards and didn't take a sack. The four touchdowns worked wonders as Rodgers attempted to mount a late comeback on national television, but you could also argue that his two interceptions were the difference between a win and a loss in Cincinnati. One of the two turnovers wasn't exactly Rodgers' fault as his sideline pass was ripped out of DK Metcalf's hands, but the other came on an overthrown pass that the veteran quarterback would have loved to get back. With that being said, fantasy managers won't gripe too much about the two turnovers, as his four touchdowns were more than enough to boost his point total. He's a solid mid-range QB2 heading into Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has firmly established himself as the team's top receiving option and one of the few bright spots in the offense this season. With Jakobi Meyers (knee) questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Geno Smith will likely continue to rely heavily on Tucker, who has already emerged as his go-to target. The 24-year-old leads the team with 24 receptions on 33 targets for 356 yards and four touchdowns, consistently producing explosive plays and showing improved route running. Tucker's chemistry with Smith has made him a focal point of the passing attack, and his volume and scoring potential keep him firmly in the WR3/flex mix for fantasy managers, even in a tough divisional matchup against the Chiefs.
