With the 15th pick, I'm coupling the guaranteed steady workload of Michael Turner with the potent offensive powerhouse, Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers enjoyed a career year last year, posting the best fantasy output for quarterbacks in most fantasy formats. He tossed up similar number of touchdowns over the last few seasons (28 & 30), but his interception total was cut in half and he through for an additional 400+ yards on the season. The most appetizing part of Rodgers' fantasy output is his rushing production. He rushed for over 300 yards last season, with 5 rushing TDs. Added to his already respectable passing totals, his rushing production moves him from a great fantasy quarterback to 'elite' status.
The only issue with Rodgers is his tendency to take hits. He was sacked 50 times last year, and his durability might not prove to hold up under these conditions. The offensive line needs to protect their franchise quarterback much better this season. Still, as a middle second round pick, Rodgers is a pretty safe pick here.
- Expect: 4,400 passing yards, 28 passing TDs, 250 rushing yards, 4 rushing TDs
