Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of 27 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 28-15 win over the Miami Dolphins. The 42-year-old signal-caller completed 85.2% of his passes, the second-highest in a game of his storied career. Rodgers and the Steelers' offense got off to a slow start with punts on their first three drives, but then they found the end zone on four consecutive drives en route to a dominant win. The veteran peppered running back Kenneth Gainwell with seven underneath targets to pick up easy yardage, then threw touchdown passes on back-to-back drives to former Green Bay Packers teammate Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the opening drive of the second half and D.K. Metcalf on the ensuing possession. Rodgers has put together two of his best games of the season in the past two weeks and will look to stay hot next week against the Detroit Lions on the road. It won't be an easy matchup, but Rodgers should be forced to throw plenty in a game with shootout potential.

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (groin) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. Taylor injured his groin early in last week's loss to the Miami Dolphins and was unable to practice this week. Justin Fields (knee) has also been ruled out for a second straight week, leaving rookie Brady Cook to make his first NFL start this weekend in Jacksonville. The Jets will also be without rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck), leaving Cook with limited options against the first-place Jags. Taylor, who had taken over for Fields as the starter under center, will try to make his way back for a Week 16 date with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Dec. 21. Avoiding all of the Jets' offensive skill players this weekend is probably a good strategy in fantasy in Week 15.
