Green Bay Packers DFS Spin
Aaron Rodgers completed 19-of-25 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns in Green Bay’s 27 10, Week 2 win over Chicago. Rodgers fumbled on a botched handoff to AJ Dillon. A 55-yard strike to Sammy Watkins in the fourth quarter showed off the deep arm, but Rodgers was playing the short game for most of this. Perhaps it was in deference to an injury-weakened offensive line that got him sacked three times. No Packers receiver had more than four targets and Green Bay was able to sit on the ball after building a 24-7 halftime lead. In Week 3, Green Bay will take on a Bucs secondary that found three Jameis Winston picks and six sacks in Week 2. Rodgers will make a low-end QB1.
Tampa Bay Bucs DFS Spin
The Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud reports Tom Brady is dealing with a “banged up” ring finger on his right hand. Bucs head coach Todd Bowles said Brady is fine and that he made “every throw” during practice this week. Behind a porous, injury-riddled offensive line, Brady has struggled mightily in the season’s first two games. He’s 26th in completion percentage over expected with a 6.6 yards per attempt (22nd). Fantasy managers in 10-team leagues could do better with a waiver wire quarterback option over Brady in a tough matchup against the Packers. He’ll be without Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring), and likely Julio Jones (knee).
