Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Tucker Kraft

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.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been an inconsistent option at tight end this season, but he will look to keep his season going on a high note when Kraft and the Packers face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Despite averaging just 4.5 targets in five games this season, Kraft is the TE8 in fantasy scoring. Last week, he saved his fantasy day with a touchdown in the Packers' win over the Bengals. Consistent volume has been a bit difficult to come by for Kraft this season, as his production has largely been dependent on touchdowns. Despite just one top-10 fantasy tight end performance this season, Kraft is a solid start against Arizona. The Cardinals give up the sixth-most fantasy points to the tight end position on the season, so fire up Kraft and hope he gets into the end zone in Week 7.
