Fantasy football Week 8 Start ‘Em & Sit ‘Em quarterbacks: Aaron Rodgers faces a risky rematch with Browns

Aaron Rodgers was great the last time he faced the Browns in Week 4, but I'm not sure you want to trust him again in the majority of leagues. I would only start him in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in the rematch against Cleveland in Week 8.

Rodgers was 22-of-40 passing for 299 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions against the Browns in Week 4, and he scored 27.9 Fantasy points. That was part of a four-game stretch where Rodgers scored at least 20.1 Fantasy points, which ended in Week 7 against the Saints in Paris.

Now, Rodgers could have a decent outing against Cleveland. He's playing well, and he was a touchdown shy of scoring 20-plus Fantasy points for the fifth game in a row against New Orleans. He finished that game 19-of-30 passing for 212 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions for 15.1 Fantasy points.

The Browns have allowed just two quarterbacks this season to score at least 20 Fantasy points, which were Trevor Lawrence in Week 1 and Rodgers. Baker Mayfield, Bryce Young, Geno Smith, Tyler Huntley and Cam Ward have all scored 15.6 Fantasy points or less.

Our SportsLine projection has Rodgers at 16.6 Fantasy points…
