Raise your hand if you thought that Aaron Rodgers would be one of the best fantasy players by his 5th year in the league when he was drafted in 2005 to sit behind the Richard Alpert of football, Brett Favre. Now put your hand down if you went to Cal. Alright that's better. Since the Packers finally let the most retired player in history go three years ago, Rodgers has glistened. In 2008, Rodgers gave us a glimpse of what he could do with a full season’s worth of work by putting up the second most fantasy points (basic scoring format) in the entire league. No Big Deal. However, in order to prove himself, Rodgers would at least have to duplicate those numbers in 2009 and show the world that Green Bay made the right call in choosing him over Favre. He did not disappoint. The Packers QB came out firing and ended up bulldozing the league, putting up the fifth most amount of QB fantasy points recorded in a single season over the last decade. He also scored over 20 fantasy points in 9 games, which led all players (only 6 other players did that in 6 games).
Rodgers not only established himself as one of the top QBs in the league last year, but also as one of top QBs in Packers history. His 4,434 yards passing ranks second in Packers history while his 103.2 QB rating and 64.7% completion rate ranks third.
Let's be honest, no one ever likes it when the talent is wearing pasties.
Brett who? Aaron "it out" Rodgers was a fantasy owners ace in the hole last season. Don't believe us? Check this:
