Fantasy Impact: Rodgers had been relatively mediocre up until Sunday, spreading worry among fantasy owners who had drafted the quarterback as high as No. 1 overall in fantasy drafts. He paid off in a big way against the Saints, however. Rodgers has hasn't put up huge numbers through the first four weeks of the season, but he has also faced some of the league's toughest defenses. Three of the next four games are against the Indianapolis Colts, St. Louis Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars, providing the reigning MVP plenty of opportunities to light up the boxscore.
