Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb's Post-Week 11 Fantasy Reaction
November 16, 2014
The Green Packers offense continues to roll like a big green and gold machine. The PAck put up its second straight 50-point game in defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 53-20. Fantasy owners would be wise to continue riding the backs of its major cogs—quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb.
In Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, the trio proved their insane offensive streak was not totally due to the Chicago Bears' inept defense in Week 10. Last week, Rodgers and his dynamic duo at receiver put up video game numbers against Chicago. Rodgers had six touchdown passes in the first half. Two went to Nelson and one to Cobb.

Against the Eagles in Week 11, they were at it again.
In just over a quarter of action Sunday, Rodgers had completed 13 of 19 passes for 232 yards, two scores and no interceptions. He has been impeccable with the ball at home this season, where he's yet to be picked off in over 17 quarters of play.
He's thrown only three picks in total this season.
His targets are shining bright as well. With more than 11 minutes left in the second quarter on Sunday, Nelson already had three catches for 99 yards and a score. Cobb wasn't far behind him with six grabs for 73 yards.
This offense is proving they are clicking like a well-oiled machine. Barring injury to any of the three, they should all be automatic starts for the remainder of the season, regardless of matchup.
