Aaron Rodgers has been an unstoppable fantasy football quarterback the past six weeks. He's gone for three scores almost every week, and on those few times he was limited to two touchdowns he threw for well over 300 yards.
Fantasy owners should be happily watching those big stats roll in, but they can't. They're just too stressed out by Rodgers' other big number: 37 sacks. He's been taken down far more than any other QB. He's endured 10 more sacks than the famously lineless Matt Cassel. His total is almost 10 more than the combined sacks of Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.
It's painful to watch Rodgers standing there for so long, knowing nobody around him really knows how to block and he's seconds away from being crushed once again. He's on pace for the league's first 70-sack season since David Carr's 76 in 2002. Even Bucs and Lions are getting to him. It makes you wonder whether he can limp through long enough for your fantasy playoff run.
Maybe he can be like Ben Roethlisberger, who's always getting sacked but still always puts up numbers. But, just in case, keep your eyes peeled for a solid backup you could turn to down the stretch.
As you again wonder why the Packers don't throw more quick passes, here's a look at some players to start and some to sit in Week 10:
