Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

FanDuel Price: $9,100

Projected Points: 22.3

The Green Bay Packers are coming off their early bye week and have a home matchup with the New York Giants. The Packers are favored by 7.5 points, and their 27.75 implied total is the second-highest of the week.

Since 2011 in games when the Packers were favored between 5 to 9 points at home and the over/under was between 46 to 50 points, Aaron Rodgers has averaged 29.84 FanDuel points per game.

Rodgers is averaging 22.79 FanDuel points per game this season and has thrown only 1 interception through his first three games. His 2.3 touchdown passes per game is tied for the third-most in the NFL.

He will become an even better play this week if the Giants are missing Eli Apple or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. They have been New York’s second- and third-best cornerbacks this season, according to Pro Football Focus, and both missed practice on Tuesday.
