Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Projected Fantasy Points: 47.89

Following last year's magnificent season, Aaron Rodgers is once again atop this year's quarterback rankings. After posting a total of 391.02 fantasy points -- thanks in part to 369 yards and 4 scores on the ground -- Rodgers is projected for 362.21 fantasy points, with 47.89 (13.2%) being produced by his legs.

While his Rushing NEP per attempt of 0.49 ranked fourth among quarterbacks with 20-plus carries, his 68.63% Success Rate (which also ranked fourth) tells us that when he did tote the rock himself, he was usually gaining yardage.

Like his second-round ADP suggests, Rodgers is the unquestioned QB1 leading up to the 2017 season. And if his precision passing wasn't enough, his legs could carry him back into the top 10 players for the second straight year.
