Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (TRUST): Rodgers has yet to give a better week than the QB12 in fantasy this season. He has yet to throw more than two touchdowns in a game this season with a high of 255 passing yards. As of right now, his 6.6 yards per pass attempt would be a career-low.
This is a great week for Rodgers to break through and have his best game of the season against a Detroit defense that has been handing out QB1 scoring weeks to opposing passers.
The Lions have allowed five QB1 scoring weeks over seven games, allowing a league-high 69.3% completion rate, a league-high 8.4 yards per pass attempt, 12.1 yards per completion (29th), and a 5.2% touchdown rate (26th).
