Aaron Rodgers is the QB19 in fantasy points per game with three outings this season with at least 22 fantasy points. He had a letdown game against the Saints that I didn't see coming. Among 34 qualifying passers, Rodgers is 24th in yards per attempt, 13th in passing touchdown rate, 24th in passing success rate, 19th in highly accurate throw rate, and 25th in hero throw rate. Rodgers is a low-end QB2 this week with a bad matchup. Over their last five games, Cleveland has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per attempt, the 11th-lowest passing touchdown rate, the fifth-lowest passing success rate, and the 11th-lowest EPA per dropback.

Aaron Rodgers quiet in win over Saints

Aaron Rodgers completed 19-of-30 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' 16-10 win over the Saints. He also ran three times for six yards.

Fantasy Impact

Rodgers had been on a hot streak coming into this game, and the overseas trip did him in, snapping his streak of multi-touchdown games. It was an unfortunate outing for those who expected a few more fireworks in this matchup, but down games are part of the fantasy football experience.
