Super Bowl Week Rankings
Here are our rankings for the coming week at each position to help you decide your starting lineup. Our rankings are based on the following scoring system: three points for a passing touchdown; six points for a rushing/receiving touchdown; one point for every 20 passing yards; and one point for every 10 rushing/receiving yards.
Last updated February 4. * = check status (not necessarily injury status)
Quarterback
1. Aaron Rodgers GB vs. PIT
Note: Had a sore shoulder in the NFC Championship Game.
2. Ben Roethlisberger PIT vs. GB
Running Back
1. Rashard Mendenhall PIT vs. GB
Note: Dominant in the AFC Championship game, but Pouncey's likely absence hurts. Still, the Packers allowed 4.7 yards per carry during the regular season – the Steelers will almost certainly try to establish Mendenhall much like they did against the Jets.
2. James Starks GB vs. PIT
3. Isaac Redman PIT vs. GB
4. Brandon Jackson GB vs. PIT
5. Mewelde Moore PIT vs. GB
6. John Kuhn GB vs. PIT
Wide Receiver
1. Greg Jennings GB vs. PIT
2. Mike Wallace PIT vs. GB
3. James Jones GB vs. PIT
4. Hines Ward PIT vs. GB
5. Jordy Nelson GB vs. PIT
6. *Emmanuel Sanders PIT vs. GB
Note: Missed a couple of practices last week with a sore foot.
7. *Donald Driver GB vs. PIT
Note: Limited in practice Thursday with a quad injury.
8. Antonio Brown PIT vs. GB
Tight End
