  Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers is a gamer.  No matter the score and if the Packers are down, he will do whatever it takes to mount a comeback.  You saw that when he lead two comebacks to win one and tie the other last season.  To me, Rodgers is like the Tom Brady of the NFC.  No matter who he has a receiver, he gets results out them.

Indianapolis has never been one to have a great defense. This has been like that since Peyton Manning was the starting quarterback.  They struggle against the run and the pass.

In week 9, I expect Rodgers to be able to throw for 300 yards with three touchdowns.  It’s nice when you see players like Rodgers having fun on the field and I root for him when he isn’t playing against the Ravens.

Fantasy football is a great escape from our normal lives.  It gives us a chance to root for player’s who we normally don’t get to root for or watch.  As a matter of fact, I don’t like the Steelers, but if I pick up a Steeler in fantasy, I will root for him.

Furthermore, some fantasy football players can get a little too into it.  It’s just fantasy and has no real significance in your life, unless you make a little money out of it.
