Aaron Rodgers
QB - Pittsburgh Steelers
Availability
Aaron Rodgers completed 10-of-21 passes for 117 yards in the Steelers 26-7 loss to Buffalo.
Fantasy Impact
Rodgers was making his return from a one-game hiatus caused by a broken left wrist. He also fumbled on a sack that resulted in a defensive touchdown for the Bills and a nose injury for Rodgers that caused Mason Rudolph to enter in for one drive. Rodgers has not thrown for over 200 yards in three straight games and will take on a surging Ravens team in Week 14.
Despite fracturing his non-throwing wrist just two weeks ago, the 41-year-old passer has been given the all-clear to face Buffalo. Head coach Mike Tomlin removed any doubt following consecutive full practice sessions, stating the quarterback is "all systems go" and will carry no injury designation into the contest.
Fantasy Impact
Rodgers returns to the lineup after a one-game hiatus, relegating Mason Rudolph back to clipboard duties. He brings a 19:7 touchdown-to-interception ratio into a daunting matchup against a Bills secondary that surrenders a league-best 168.2 passing yards per contest. While Buffalo has stumbled recently, losing two of three, their air defense remains formidable.
