Rams Vs. Patriots, Colts Vs. Packers QB Rotations, News and Preview

It’s preseason week three of the NFL and here is the famed primer including QB rotations for fantasy football rankings and sports betting alike

Rams vs. Patriots

Among those out for the Patriots are Julian Edelman WR, often called the next Wes Welker. He had 39 catches last year; TE Aaron Hernandez, a rookie who has been strong in the red zone, and LB Jermaine Cunningham.

The best NFL handicappers point out that the Patriots offensive line second team struggled last week. Hence they traded for Quinn Ojinnaka.

The Rams prized rookie QB Sam Bradford gets his first start and will likely play the first half. A.J. Feeley, the journeyman keeping the seat warm for Bradford, is out. Bradford is a pedestrian 12-for-27 with no TDs or INTs thus far.

Tom Brady will likely play at least the first half for New England behind center. According to Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com, most Pats starters will play into the third quarter.

Colts vs. Packers

Colts starters will play into the third quarter. WR Austin Collie is questionable for the Horses. Out are stars TE Dallas Clark, C Jeff Saturday, and LT Charlie Johnson.

Statistically, Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers has been the best signal caller in the NFL preseason so far with a 154 QB rating. His offensive line has been stable all preseason. Three of the starters have at least 68 games each as starters under their belts.

The Packers are deep at WR and will match-up very well against the Colts DBs late into the game. S Atari Bigby is out though for Green Bay.

Sports betting podcasts say that Green Bay is expected to work on their running game as RB Ryan Grant is expected to get 8-12 carries.
