Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers' level of play hasn't matched his fantasy output, and that's likely the case again in Week 3. Rodgers is the fifth-highest graded passer per PFF while also ranking sixth in adjusted completion rate and ninth in yards per attempt. He has QB32 and QB17 finishes to show for that proficiency. The Buccaneers are also nightmare fuel for opposing quarterbacks. They have surrendered the lowest success rate and EPA per dropback. They have given up the second-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Rodgers will be running for his life against a pass rush that's ninth in pressure and blitz rates. Rodgers is a QB2.

Aaron Rodgers tosses two touchdown passes in Week 2 win

Aaron Rodgers completed 19 of his 25 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns in the 27-10 win over the Bears. Both of his touchdown tosses came in the second quarter from a short distance including an eight-yard pitch to Aaron Jones and a quick slant to Allen Lazard from five yards out. He added 10 rushing yards on five carries.

Fantasy Impact

Rodgers and the entire Packers offense looked a lot sharper in Week 2 compared to their Week 1 loss in Minnesota. The Packers ran the ball 38 times compared to just 25 pass attempts which could be their desired formula for success this season which could limit Rodgers' fantasy production. However, Rodgers will likely need to pass more often next week on the road against the Buccaneers who feature a stout run defense.
