Packers at Vikings: 5 best fantasy options

Which players must you get in your fantasy football lineup in this Week 2 matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings?

Sunday Night Football. Packers versus Vikings. This will undoubtedly be an interesting battle between two division rivals. However, will the fantasy output be there?

The Packers are always a strong offensive squad, but the Vikings defense is as equally talented. Also, the Vikings’ quarterback situation makes their offensive outlook shaky at best.

That being said, there are certainly guys worth getting into your lineup. Let’s take a look at the best fantasy options from this game, ranked 5-1.

5. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers is undoubtedly one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. His ability to make plays in the Packers’ offense is incredible, and his value on the field translates to the fantasy game as well.

Having all of his weapons back, Rodgers is due for a strong fantasy season again in 2016. I personally tend to wait on the quarterback position in fantasy football, but Rodgers is a strong start each and every week no matter the opponent.

That being said, this will be a tough test for Rodgers. The Vikings’ defense is loaded with talent all over the field. They have a strong pass rush and a talented secondary that can hold down the Packers’ offense.

I am not saying that they will, but the Vikings’ defense is one of the best units in the NFL. They have the horses to hold Rodgers in check.

However, Aaron Rodgers is amazing. There is no doubt about that. He is a must start in fantasy football each week based on his upside alone. The Vikings’ defense will provide a tough test, but Rodgers has to be in your lineup.
