Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

FanDuel Price: $8,000

After a slow start to the season, Aaron Rodgers has been incredible. Coming into last week's crappy weather affair against a decent Houston Texans defense, Rodgers had scored at least 23 FanDuel points in six straight games, including a four-game run of at least 27 points in each outing.

He is, after all, Aaron Freakin' Rodgers.

But this isn't the week to invest in him. Rodgers feasted on some poor defenses during his red-hot run -- taking advantage of porous pass defenses like the Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears -- and he's going to see a very good Seattle Seahawks defense this week.

Yes, the loss of Earl Thomas is going to hurt the 'Hawks, but this is a defense that still features studs like Richard Sherman, Michael Bennett, Bobby Wagner, K.J. Wright and Kam Chancellor -- among others. Just four weeks ago, this Seattle defense went to Foxboro and held Tom Brady to 12.34 FanDuel points.

It's also worth mentioning that Rodgers is battling a hamstring injury. His 16 rushing yards in Week 13 were his fewest since Week 7, and he was limited at practice this week. It's probably a minor issue, but it could be a factor against a Seattle defense with the fourth-most sacks in the league.
