Brett Hundley was named the starter at quarterback for the Green Bay Packers against the Oakland Raiders on Thursday night. With Aaron Rodgers a healthy scratch in Week 2 of the preseason, Hundley gets a chance to play at least the first quarter along with the Packers’ first-team offense.

Fantasy spin: Hundley drawing the start makes him an enticing play in daily fantasy leagues that run preseason slates. Hundley missed the Packers’ preseason opener with a sprained ankle, but the 2015 fifth-round pick out of UCLA is expected to get a long look in this matchup with Oakland as he bids for Rodgers’ backup job.
Hundley had been expected to get plenty of run in the Hall of Fame Game before his ankle injury and the game’s cancellation. While several starters could see a quarter or more of action in Week 2, the Packers’ desire to extend Hundley’s playing time makes his a prime option in daily fantasy.
