4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 17

Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

FanDuel Price: $8,400
Projected Points: 24.3

Dealing with a groin injury and having seemingly nothing to play for in Week 16, many questioned whether Aaron Rodgers would or should play in Week 16. But he chose to suit up anyhow, citing his own leadership qualities as the reason. And he turned in a massive performance, setting new season-highs in passing attempts (55), completions (37) and passing yards (442), while scoring twice through the air and twice on the ground.

Interestingly, that season-high passing mark of 442 yards is actually the same total he posted back in against the Detroit Lions, who he will get another crack at in Week 17. Rodgers also threw for three touchdown passes in that game, matching the total that the Lions gave up to Kirk Cousins this past Sunday.

With that in mind, the Packers are listed with the sixth-highest implied total (26.25 points) of any team in Week 17, showing off Rodgers' high ceiling in this matchup. But don't forget about his floor either, as the Lions are tied for the the second-fewest interceptions (six) of any team in the NFL this season. Considering Rodgers has thrown just two interceptions of his own this year, we don't need to be overly concerned about him turning the ball over here.

So keep riding the Rodgers wave as we wrap up the regular season and get ready for the NFL playoffs.
