Sit-em: Brett Hundley (GB) @ Chicago

Never thought I’d be writing about Brett Hundley, proving just how weird the quarterback position has been in 2017. Hundley is not the answer for the Green Bay Packers, and he isn’t for your fantasy football team in Week 10.

Green Bay’s season was over the second that Aaron Rodgers went on the injured reserve. Everyone knew that, but at least Packers fans could get a chance to see if Hundley was worth the roster spot he was holding. Turns out he might not be.

What fans have really learned is just how important Rodgers is to the Green Bay offense. Normally reliable players like Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and DeVante Adams have done nothing with Hundley at quarterback.

The surprising thing that I see when watching the Packers now is just how little head coach Mike McCarthy has altered his play calling. He has not changed one bit from the offense that Rodgers has mastered.

The only problem with doing that is Hundley is not Rodgers.

The Chicago Bears defense is going to tee off on Hundley if he is asked to throw 35-plus times again. There are other fill in options at quarterback to target for your fantasy football lineups in Week 10. Don’t expect big things from Hundley this season or really any other player on the Green Bay offense.

Other options: Kirk Cousins (WAS) vs. Minnesota and Philip Rivers (LAC) @ Jacksonville
