Should I start Aaron Rodgers or Ryan Flournoy in Week 6?

Updated Oct 18, 8:06 PM ET. Week 7 answers post Tuesday.

Start Aaron Rodgers: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Ryan Flournoy's 70 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Ryan Flournoy, and the board ranks him 131st overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Their 2025 seasons

He threw for 3322 yards on 498 attempts with 24 touchdowns and 7 interceptions, and ran for 61 yards and 1 touchdown.

That came to 31.1 attempts a game at 6.7 yards an attempt.

He was on the field for 95 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

He was on the field for 41 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Both were available for 16 games that season.

Side by side

In 2025 Aaron Rodgers scored 14.6 PPR points a game and Ryan Flournoy 7.1, 7.5 a game between them.

Aaron Rodgers finished QB18 and Ryan Flournoy WR57, which are two different ladders.

Aaron Rodgers is a quarterback and Ryan Flournoy a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Aaron Rodgers is off in Week 9 and Ryan Flournoy in Week 14, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Aaron Rodgers has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
