Lamar Jackson or Aaron Rodgers: who should I start in Week 6?

Neither man carries a posted season price right now, so this is their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, side by side.

Updated Oct 14, 2026 at 12:16 PM ET

Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the market has not posted a whole price on either of them, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

What the player markets price

The market has Lamar Jackson at 1.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 2 market sources. That is 0 percent of what a quarterback's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market has Aaron Rodgers at 0.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 3 market sources. That is 0 percent of what a quarterback's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Lamar Jackson's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
