Fantasy Football Quarterback Streaming Week 16: Aaron Rodgers Could Thrive Again
There were only two quarterbacks who threw for at least 300 yards during Week 15. However, touchdowns were plentiful. There were 16 quarterbacks who recorded at least two touchdown passes. Of those 16, seven of them had at least three touchdown passes.
All 32 teams will be in action again during Week 16. While some fantasy managers still fighting for a championship might not need a streaming option at quarterback, others could use a boost at the position. There are some appealing options to consider.
For streaming purposes, 4for4’s Schedule-Adjusted Fantasy Points Allowed (aFPA) is a metric we rely heavily on to determine weekly matchup strength. As the season progresses and more data is available, aFPA becomes more and more reliable, using rolling 10-week data. Targets and efficiency metrics are also considered when choosing weekly streamers.
To provide advice you can implement, candidates for streaming must be rostered in no more than 40% of Yahoo! fantasy leagues.

Week 15 Recap
Our biggest win from Week 15 was Aaron Rodgers. He cashed in on a favorable matchup against the Jaguars, throwing for 289 yards and three touchdowns. That helped him finish as QB4. He did so while attempting just 30 passes and completing just 53.5% of those attempts.
The biggest disappointment among the streamers from last week was Jameis Winston, who posted a dud against the Chiefs. He threw for 146 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions. He was eventually pulled from the game with Dorian Thompson-Robinson taking over for him. Winston has now thrown eight interceptions over his last three games.

Aaron Rodgers (Jets) vs. Rams
Prior to Week 14, Rodgers had thrown for 731 yards over his previous four games. In two games since, he has combined for 628 passing yards. Both of those games came on the road and in warm weather against the Dolphins and Jaguars. Still, it’s encouraging to see Rodgers cash in and finally rack up passing yards.
Despite many underwhelming yardage totals, Rodgers has thrown at least two touchdown passes in a game nine times this season. The Rams have struggled in that department as they are tied for the eighth-most touchdown passes allowed in the league. With excellent weapons in Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson at his side, Rodgers should have significant upside again.
