Ranked QB21 for Week 8 against the Browns. Rodgers has played solid football this year averaging QB20 fantasy points per game.

Leads the NFL in passing touchdowns over the last month with 3.33 per game. Ian Hartitz recommends over 1.5 passing TDs prop bet against Steelers' second-worst scoring defense.

Aaron Rogers suddenly shifted to chucking the ball downfield with an 11+ yard average target depth, the highest mark he's had with the Steelers.

Ian Hartitz labels Aaron Rodgers a 'wash' candidate, assigning him a 9/10 on the 'wash scale' due to his age (43 in December) and diminished ability to play off-script compared to his MVP prime.
