Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

FanDuel Price: $8,800
Projected Points: 22.4

The Green Bay Packers will be competing for an NFC North division title on Sunday, and Aaron Rodgers is a big reason why they are in that situation.

After failing to reach 20 FanDuel points in three of the first five games of this season, Rodgers eclipsed the 20-point mark in eight of 10 games since then. And of course, in his most recent game, set a new season-high with 37.18 FanDuel points to lead all quarterbacks in Week 16.

Now he will get a rematch with the Detroit Lions, who allowed him to throw four touchdown passes in their first meeting back in Week 3. That was one of four games this season in which Detroit gave up three or more touchdown passes, and they are allowing the 10th-most FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks.

Rodgers has racked up more than 22 FanDuel points in each of his past four games against the Lions and is in a great spot to continue that trend as the Packers have the third-highest implied total of any team in Week 17.
