Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Makes up for poor efficiency with volume

Rodgers completed 23 of 45 passes for 259 yards, with two touchdowns, two interceptions and 17 rushing yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Giants.

Analysis:

Rodgers turned in a rare inefficient home performance against a solid Big Blue defense, but he still managed a decent fantasy outing thanks to his team's dominance of possession. He was unusually out of sync with top receiver Jordy Nelson, who caught just four passes for 38 yards and a touchdown on a team-high 13 targets. While yet to turn in a true clunker, Rodgers also hasn't had any of the huge games that were so frequent prior to last season. Even last week's four-touchdown outing wasn't overwhelming from a fantasy standpoint, as he only threw for 205 yards, limited by a lack of second-half volume. Rodgers has mostly come through for his team when needed most, but it's impossible not to worry about his sub-60 completion percentage and sub-7.0 YPA. It can no longer be assumed that it's merely a matter of time before he starts to put up the kind of elite numbers that were taken for granted from 2011 to 2014. However, it also isn't out of the question, and he will be back at Lambeau Field the next two weeks, first facing the Cowboys and then taking on the Bears.
