The 5-4 Pittsburgh Steelers host the 3-6 Cincinnati Bengals as 5.5-point favorites in an AFC North showdown. The Steelers offense continues to be lackluster, as new quarterback Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been able to elevate the offense from its usual mediocrity. They rank 24th in yards per play and 29th in total offense so far.

The good news this week is that the. Steelers play the Bengals, who have allowed the most points and yards per game this season. Other than his Week 1 game vs. the Jets, Rodgers next best game came against the Bengals in Week 7. He’s not going to get a better matchup this season.
Below, we’ll go over Aaron Rodgers’ outlook in fantasy football for Week 11.
Fantasy Football analysis: Steelers, QB, Aaron Rodgers
So far this season Rodgers has only been startable in two games, against the Jets and Bengals. The question is, will he once again be forced to throw the ball in a high scoring affair like the last time these two teams met? The answer is likely yes, as the Steelers pass defense remains bad and the Bengals will probably be without Trey Hendrickson on top of them being the worst defense in the league.
The only real problem here is that we know Rodgers isn’t going to run to help his upside and he’s been turning the ball over. I don’t see a Top 5 finish in his range, but a Top 10 is possible. I’d much rather start Joe Flacco than Rodgers, but if you’re even contemplating Rodgers, it means you are probably choosing between some fairly bad options. Overall, I have Rodgers as QB15, as there are just too many good options this week I like better. But, if you are in a tough spot, the matchup is a great one and I expect him to be useful this week.
Start or sit in Week 11 leagues?
Sit.
