Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be seeking revenge against the reigning NFC Champions San Francisco at Candlestick Park in the opening week of the season.
Rodgers faced the 49ers twice last season, including in the NFC Divisional playoffs when the Packers were eliminated. He completed 26 of 39 passes for 257 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
Rodgers threw for 250-plus yards and two-plus touchdowns in each of his meetings against San Francisco. He has a solid track record against the 49ers, averaging 315 passing yards with a total of seven touchdowns and one interception in three regular season games.
Rodgers has posted a quarterback rating of 100 or more in four consecutive seasons, which is tied with Hall of Famer Steve Young for the longest streak. He is fresh off a contract extension in the offseason that made him the highest paid player in NFL history and should be clicking at all cylinders for the opener. He should be viewed as a must-start Fantasy quarterback for the opening week of the season.
