Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb's Post-Week 15 Fantasy Reaction

The Green Bay Packers suffered a devastating loss to the Buffalo Bills Sunday, and fantasy football owners who started quarterback Aaron Rodgers or wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb were left just as disappointed.    

Rodgers is one of the most talented quarterbacks in the NFL, but he struggled mightily on Sunday against the stingy defense of the Bills.

With just 185 passing yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions, Rodgers came up small in a crucial fantasy semifinals battle.

If owners somehow make it to the championship round despite Rodgers’ rough outing, stick with the talented quarterback. He is still one of the best players in the league, and a Week 16 meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is favorable.

Nelson has been a fantasy star all season, but without a touchdown and just five receptions on 12 targets for 55 yards, owners were thoroughly disappointed. Two crucial drops on deep passes only made matters worse.

On the other hand, owners with Cobb at least totaled a few points from yardage. The dynamic playmaker went over 100 total yards, racking up seven receptions on 13 targets for 96 yards in addition to 15 rushing yards, but the lack of touchdowns made the solid performance less effective.

Nelson and Cobb should still be considered elite fantasy options in Week 16. After watching Rodgers struggle Sunday, owners should expect a big comeback performance from the quarterback.

If Rodgers returns to elite form in Week 16, Nelson and Cobb will be two of the biggest beneficiaries.
