Aaron Rodgers Remains Red Hot with Three Touchdowns for Third Consecutive Week

Sunday, October 11, 7:06 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of his 31 pass attempts for 235 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also rushed for six yards and took just one sack. Rodgers has absolutely racked up fantasy points lately, tallying nine passing touchdowns through the last three weeks. Some turnovers and sacks left a bitter taste after Rodgers' previous explosive performances, but that wasn't the case on Sunday, as the veteran quarterback played turnover-free football. The 42-year-old passer lacks the mobility needed to be a high-end fantasy quarterback, but his latest track record could put him back on the fantasy radar as a potential midseason pick-up.

Tyler Shough News

Tyler Shough Dismantled by the Vikings' Defense

Sunday, October 11, 6:30 PM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 16 of his 25 pass attempts for just 96 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 win against the Minnesota Vikings. He also took a sack and was held without a rushing attempt for the first time in his career. Shough was the QB5 in fantasy football entering Sunday, so his fantasy managers were certainly disappointed to see a dud in Week 5. With that being said, a performance like this is within the range of outcomes when your team is facing the Vikings' defense. Minnesota's defensive unit is incredibly talented and well-coached, leading to results like this one. Week 5 is a huge blemish on Shough's track record, but he has his toughest matchup of the season behind him and should bounce back in Week 6 against a very uninspiring Giants squad.
