Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Trey McBride

Tuesday, October 14, 8:51 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 21 of his 30 pass attempts for 235 yards and two touchdowns in a 23-9 victory over the Cleveland Browns. It was his best fantasy showing since the season opener, in which he threw four touchdown passes. Though fantasy managers can't expect Rodgers to be a steady starting option, they can consider deploying him in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Through six weeks, the Bengals are one of three NFL teams surrendering over 30 points per contest. Rodgers has serious upside on Thursday night and can be treated as a QB2 or streaming candidate.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) was unable to play in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, but tight end Trey McBride was still able to put up numbers while working with veteran backup Jacoby Brissett. McBride finished with eight catches on 11 targets for 72 yards and his second touchdown of the year in the 31-27 loss. He was second on the team in receiving yards on the day, but his 11 targets and eight receptions led the Cardinals in a near-upset victory on the road. The 25-year-old's eight grabs and 72 receiving yards were both season highs, giving you an idea of how much Arizona's offense has struggled in the first five weeks of the season. It's possible that Murray won't be able to play in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers, either, but McBride might not skip a beat given the chemistry he showed with Brissett this weekend.
