1. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers is averaging 274.1 yards and 2.5 touchdowns per game while bolstering his value with 18.2 rushing yards per game. Rodgers was slowed by the Buffalo Bills but should bounce back against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs have allowed 250.4 yards and 1.9 touchdowns per game.
