I've asked this earlier in the week and the answer was Rodgers. I failed to include that my opponent has mike Evans.. now i have two questions.. all things being equal and with the fact he has Evans would you still go with Rodgers vs Seattle over Winston vs saints? I usually like playing a wr connected to my opponents qb but in this case it would be reversed and think that might be advantage him... the second part of the question, I have a small lead in projected total after last night and he is frontloaded with early games Sunday.. both my qbs go late so if I'm looking like a big favorite after early games should I go with Winston to offset one of his last chances at big points (Evans)? And if looking like an underdog Rodgers go with Rodgers? sorry so complicated lol but it's the playoffs and gotta look at all angles..
We have Rodgers so high in our rankings that it's hard to go against that, but I definitely understand the feeling to wanting to play the matchups here. I'd probably just live and die with Rodgers in my lineup, and negating my opponent's points wouldn't be a factor. But the matchup is excellent for Winston, so if you really want to lean that way, I think you can justify it.
I generally like to be the mike evans owner in this situation. But it's hard to start Rodgers against the Seahawks even if he's played well lately. I'd play it safe and just call it a draw between evans/winston. Incremental gains wins the race in fantasy payoffs usually. All the teams are pretty good. Playing rodgers seems like the more risky play here.
