Aaron is the Man!
Whether you like the Packers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers or the Patriots signal caller, Tom Brady either one is going to
be fine for you in fantasy this season. However, if you hope to grab either the
price is going to be high.
Right now Aaron Rodgers is going off the
board as this year’s number one Fantasy Quarterback with a current ADP of 2.09
(according to FFC). Last season Rodgers turned in another stellar season
finishing with 4,428 yards passing, 40 touchdowns, and 4 rushing touchdowns,
finishing as the number one player in fantasy football standard leagues (he was
second behind running back David Johnson). This was his fourth time in the past
six seasons with at least 40 total touchdowns.
How good is Rodgers?
Since 2008, excluding his shortened due to
injury 2013 season, Rodgers has finished as the number fantasy scoring player
(in standard leagues) four out of seven seasons, finishing second twice, and
third in the other three seasons. In PPR formats here’s how Rodgers has
finished (top 10 finishes only); 2016-2nd, 2014-3rd, 2012-3rd, 2011-1st,
2010-4th, and 2009-2nd.
If Rodgers is not the man, then he is Mr.
Fantasy Football!
Taking a quarterback early is tough,
because you pass up on a lot of value you need to fill at a lot of other
positions, but at the tail-end of the 2nd round taking Rodgers may be a price
worth paying.
That’s My Take
