Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

DraftKings Price: $7,400
Projected Points: 22.9

In 2016, the Green Bay Packers played against the Atlanta Falcons twice, once in the regular season and once in the NFC Divisional Round. In those two games, Aaron Rodgers combined for 533 yards passing yards and 7 passing touchdowns.

The Falcons' new offensive coordinator, Steve Sarkisian, has mentioned wanting the offense to play an up-tempo style in 2017. This bodes well for the Packers' offense as it should mean plenty of snaps for both sides, and this Green Bay attack already ran 82 offensive plays in Week 1.

Rodgers has a plethora of playmakers to throw the ball to, and the Packers did a great job getting them on the field as much as possible in Week 1. Jordy Nelson (76 snaps in Week 1), Davante Adams (67), Randall Cobb (63), and Ty Montgomery (74) will carry the load for the Packers passing game.

The Packers have an implied team total of 25.25 points and are 3.0-point underdogs. With Rodgers indoors in a negative game script, we could see him rack up a ton of yardage against the Falcons.

He has an extremely high floor with a ceiling that can match any quarterback in the league. Our models have him projected with the third-most DraftKings points (22.9), and he is a superb play in Week 2.
