Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

FanDuel Price: $9,300
Projected Points: 24.1

Through the first two weeks of this season, Aaron Rodgers is averaging the most passing attempts per game (46.0) of any quarterback. He is also one of just two quarterbacks to throw for at least 300 yards in each game.

Including last season, Rodgers has now been a top-12 FanDuel quarterback in 13 of his past 18 games. In 11 of those games, he ranked inside the top six FanDuel scorers at his position, including seven top-three weeks.

Rodgers will be in a great spot this week to have another big performance, as the Green Bay Packers have the fourth-highest implied total (26.50) of any team for their game against the winless Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals have held opposing quarterbacks to the 12th-fewest FanDuel points per game this season, but that is in large part to their first two opponents combining for just 41 passing attempts. Rodgers alone has attempted at least 42 passes in each of his first two games.

Cincinnati's defense can expect to see a lot more passes coming their way in this game, and Rodgers is our top-projected FanDuel player of the week.
