Would Anyone Site Rodgers for Trubisky or Foles? (1 Viewer)

Yeah I would as I would play the matchups. I think Rodgers is not in the category of the EVERY WEEK MUST PLAY anymore. I would play the QB who has the best matchup. If all things equal, then Rodgers is the better play but if the match up is a lot better for one of the other two, I'll go with that. I feel that there are very few QBs now who are a must play every week.

 
You will have to see how the season plays out. I can't see Foles starting over the other two unless the Jags are a big surprise and Packers and Bears are a let down, but Trubisky has the potential to take a big jump this year I think. 

This week Rodgers and Trubisky are pretty similar in projections so take your pick. I would be starting one of those 2 and not take Foles until we know what they look like on O. 

 
I'm in a similar situation, and running Garoppolo over Rodgers as SF@TB should be a high-scoring game and Tampa Bay's defense is terrible. It's just hard to sit Aaron Rodgers... Have Chicago's defense to make matters more convoluted.  To answer you, I agree with Sasgaard, in that until Aaron Rodgers proves he's matchup proof I would shy away from playing him in Chicago

No. Don't over think it. Rodgers ability to drop a ton of points on any defense in the league is still there. If I'm gonna bet against Rodgers (and I'm not saying I wouldn't), I'm certainly not doing it with the likes of Trubisky or Foles. Out of the 26 games he's played, Trubisky has had 4 great fantasy games. The rest have been a mishmash of mostly poor to mediocre with a couple above-average sprinkled in. And Foles is Foles. It's not like teams have been beating down his door for his starting services his entire career. I'd be riding with Rodgers if I were you.

 
There are probably 10 QB's I'd start over Rodgers this week. Trubisky and Foles aren't in that group.
