2. Aaron Rodgers – Tier One

If you like the safe pick you’re probably going to take Aaron Rodgers as your first quarterback. I would certainly consider it. Rodgers, a former MVP of the League and Super Bowl, is an all-time great. Like Newton, Rodgers was without his favorite target Jordy Nelson in 2016 due to a torn ACL. Rodgers will have him back for the 2016 season. Aaron Rodgers hardly turns the ball over especially for a guy who throws as much as he does. Rodgers threw just 8 interceptions in 2015. He threw just five in 2014. Rodgers did not have his best season of his career in 2015, but it was another great one. Rodgers had 3,821 yards, which could be considered low for him. He had 31 touchdowns to just eight interceptions.

Aaron Rodgers is arguably the best Quarterback in football and that always doesn’t make you the best fantasy QB. Rodgers however is usually a great option as can exploit any defense. Rodgers will get a huge boost when he gets his favorite receiver Jordy Nelson back. I think the return of Nelson will help Randall Cobb , Rodgers second best option. I think Rodgers will add at least 500 yards from last years total. He will have a monster season.
