High-Cost Option: Aaron Rodgers $7,900
ProFootballFocus), ranking 13th overall.
The Giants have one of the league's worst pass rushes and have only reached the quarterback three times on the season so far (third-worst rate). Taylor could once again find himself a top fantasy option this week with plenty of time to survey the defense from the pocket.
GPP Wildcard: Derek Carr $5,300
Has hot start to the season has led to Carr improving from the second-worst Passing NEP total of all quarterbacks last year, to having the seventh-highest in 2015. Carr gets a chance to improve this ranking even more taking on the Chicago Bears in Chicago where Oakland is now a road 3-point favorite.
The Bears have the worst overall defense according to our metrics and have allowed eight passing touchdowns over the past three weeks. Carr and rookie Amari Cooper have been a hit since Week 1, and should be able to exploit an easy matchup against struggling cornerbacks Kyle Fuller and Alan Ball. Coming into this game after two great performances, Carr could easily exceed value at only $5,300.
