The Packers lead the league in pressure rate (42.0%) through two weeks while they are fourth in passing points allowed (19.9). And that was with guys like Godwin, Antonio Brown, and Rob Gronkowski at his disposal. Since Brady joined the Bucs, he has averaged his lowest completion rate (61.6%), yards per pass attempt (6.7 Y/A), and touchdown rate (4.6%) when Evans has not been on the field. This is the lowest implied team total the Buccaneers have ever had with Brady as their quarterback.īrady is down to a skeleton crew on offense. We also do not know if Julio Jones will suit up after missing Week 2 with a knee injury. With all of the moving parts for the Bucs on the offensive line and in the wide receiver room, the Bucs are entering Sunday potentially missing Donovan Smith, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin as probable absences while the team also lost fill-in left tackle Josh Wells to a calf injury and will not play Sunday. Tom Brady: Things have gone the same way for Brady, who has opened the season as the QB27 (10.4 points) and QB25 (9.4 points). Rodgers was a fringe QB1 in fantasy drafts and has opened the year as a QB2 in output through two weeks, Tacking on the matchup and implied total, there is no objective reason to handle him as anything but a QB2 this week. The Bucs have opened the year allowing just 5.3 yards per pass attempt (third) and 13.4 passing points total (second) through two games. The Packers only scored 16 points in that game and Rodgers was the QB28, scoring 9.6 fantasy points. With that in play, this is the lowest implied team total that the Packers have had in a game with Rodgers as the starter since Week 1 of the 2014 season when they opened the year against the apex Legion of Boom in Seattle. It’s kind of wild that we have a matchup with Rodgers versus Tom Brady that has such a low game total, but it is hard to push back on it. The Packers have targeted their wide receivers just 53.3% of the time (28th) while targeting their running backs 28.3% of the time (fourth).
With a limited receiving corps, Rodgers has thrown a league-high 39.0% of his passes at or behind the line of scrimmage (league rate is 21.9%). That said, it was still only good for a QB16 scoring week (16.4 points) for fantasy. Just 4-of-24 possessions (16.7%) for Tampa Bay have reached the red zone, 30th in the league.Īaron Rodgers: After a QB32 scoring week (3.7 points) in Week 1, Rodgers did bounce back and play a good game in Week 2 against Chicago, completing 76% of his passes for 234 yards (9.4 yards per pass attempt) and a pair of touchdowns.16.9% of the Tampa Bay rushing attempts have resulted in a first down or touchdowns, 29th in the league.42.6% of the Green Bay rushing attempts have resulted in a first down or touchdowns, the highest rate in the league through two weeks.
