The Primer: Week 9 Edition (Fantasy Football)

The Primer: Week 9 Edition (Fantasy Football)

Green Bay Packers at New England Patriots

Total: 56.5
Line: NE by 5.5

QBs
Aaron Rodgers:
Can we just not write about this game and simply sit back to observe two of the best of all-time? I knew that wouldn’t work, but this is going to be a fun game to watch as a fan of greatness. After watching the joke of aggressiveness against the Rams, the Packers really need to up their urgency against the Patriots. The matchup suits Rodgers well, too, as the Patriots have now allowed at least 313 yards passing in five of their last seven games, including the Bills dynamic duo of Derek Anderson and Nathan Peterman last week. The crazy part, however, is that the Patriots have allowed just 7.09 yards per attempt, which ranks as the eighth-lowest mark in the league. Opponents are averaging a massive 40.8 pass attempts per game against them, which is where a lot of the production comes from. That’s why five of the last seven quarterbacks have posted top-15 numbers against them, and why four quarterbacks have finished top-six. The Patriots play a ton of man coverage, which should allow Rodgers to post some rushing totals, too, as they’ve allowed the third-most rushing yards to quarterbacks. In a game where they can’t afford to take their foot off the throttle (hope they learned from last week), Rodgers should post high-end QB1 numbers.
