Aaron Rodgers (12) is coming off of back-to-back outstanding performances as he and the Packers return home for week 8.Photo by Scott Kane-US PRESSWIRE
In all our positional rankings, there was only one unanimous #1. With Aaron Rodgers recent play and matchup against Jacksonville, he’s as close to a lock as there is this week. Beyond locking him in at the top, however, there’s plenty of intrigue at the position with RG3, Matt Ryan, and Carson Palmer being three quarterbacks where the three rankings differ dramatically.
As usual, I (ZT) was joined in the rankings by Steve Copps (SC) and Jeffrey Littrell (JL) who are contributors for FantasyCPR. We ranked our top 25 with NR (not ranked) counting for 30 for averaging purposes.

I'm an avid Boston sports fan and fantasy sports enthusiast. When I'm not blogging, I serve as Audio and Video producer as well as High School History teacher at Harvest Ministries on the island of Guam. The 14-hour time difference can make things challenging, but I'll play any fantasy sports just about anytime I can.
