Aaron Rodgers To Take Some Time To Decide On Return
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said that he had "really good conversations" with quarterback Aaron Rodgers this week on his way into the offseason. Gutekunst also said Rodgers is "going to take some time" and "I really respect the process he goes through after the season." The 39-year-old future Hall of Fame QB failed to make the postseason this year in his first year without All-Pro wideout Davante Adams. He completed 64.6% of his 542 pass attempts for 3,695 yards, 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 17 games. Rodgers was working with a largely unproven group of receivers and had under 4,000 passing yards for the first time in a full season since 2015. His 12 interceptions were the second-most of his career.
Jan 13, 2023 • 5:01 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Returns To Thursday's Practice
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, thumb) returned to practice on Thursday after getting a regular maintenance day off on Wednesday. Rodgers has been dealing with a minor knee issue in recent weeks, but he will absolutely be on the field this Sunday night in a divisional showdown against the Detroit Lions to close out the regular season. With a win, the Packers will earn the final spot in the NFC playoffs. The 39-year-old Rodgers hasn't had high-end QB1 upside for fantasy managers this year and hasn't thrown multiple touchdown passes since Week 12, but he'll have an opportunity to produce some nice numbers against a shaky Lions defense this weekend. In Week 9 against Detroit, Rodgers went 23-for-43 for 291 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in a loss.
Jan 5, 2023 • 7:30 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Back At Practice
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, thumb) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session with a minor knee injury. Rodgers admitted he was given a veteran rest day to begin the practice week. He's dealing with a knee injury, but it shouldn't affect his performance in Week 17 in another must-win game against the Minnesota Vikings. In the first meeting with the Vikings in Week 1, Rodgers threw for just 195 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. The future Hall of Famer has been much better of late, although he has yet to go over 300 yards passing in a single game in 2022. The high-end QB1 upside is no longer there for Rodgers, but he has some low-end QB1/high-end QB2 appeal for fantasy managers this weekend as they Packers look to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
Dec 29, 2022 • 7:12 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Dealing With Minor Knee Injury
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, thumb) did not take part in Wednesday's practice. Rodgers has been playing through a fractured right thumb for most of the season, but the knee injury is a new one that he suffered in the Week 16 win over the Miami Dolphins. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer fully expects to play in another must-win game in Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field. Expect Rodgers to return to practice on either Thursday or Friday. Rodgers was held under 200 yards passing with no touchdowns and an interception against the Vikings in Week 1, but that was the only game this year where he didn't throw a TD pass. He's been better of late, though, and he should be considered a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 for starting fantasy lineups this weekend.
Dec 28, 2022 • 10:41 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Will Start Against Bears
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (rib, thumb) didn't receive a game designation on Friday and will start against the Chicago Bears in Week 13 on Sunday. The bad news, though, is that starting left tackle David Bakhtiari underwent an appendectomy on Friday and will not play. Rodgers probably isn't 100 percent going into the weekend after injuring his rib in the Week 12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but he's going to tough it out. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer has also been playing through a broken right thumb, which has affected his accuracy. Rodgers has owned the Bears in his career, but he just hasn't been the same without Davante Adams this year and profiles as a low-end QB2 while playing through injuries. The good news is he could have all of his receivers back healthy if rookie Romeo Doubs (ankle) is active.
Dec 3, 2022 • 12:32 AM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Will Practice Thursday
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (rib, thumb) will practice on Thursday. "As far as how much he'll do, it'll be limited," LaFleur said. Rodgers has been playing through a fractured right thumb, but he also injured his rib in the Sunday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Scans on Monday ruled out any significant damage, so Rodgers plans to play through the injury in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears, a team he continues to dominate in his career. The 38-year-old is likely to be getting rookie receiver Romeo Doubs (ankle) back this week as well, so he should have his full complement of wideouts on Sunday. At less than 100 percent health, Rodgers should be considered a midrange QB2 this weekend for fantasy managers.
Dec 1, 2022 • 5:53 PM | RotoBallerPackers Expect Aaron Rodgers To Play In Week 13
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he expects quarterback Aaron Rodgers (rib, thumb) to play in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Rodgers is nursing a rib injury as well as a fractured right thumb and didn't practice on Wednesday, but he said on Tuesday that scans on his rib came back clean and that he expects to play. The future Hall of Famer left Sunday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the second half and was worried he was playing with a punctured lung. Now that a serious injury has been ruled out, he'll try to continue this dominance over the Bears in Week 13. The soon-to-be 39-year-old threw for 234 yards and two touchdowns in the first meeting with Chicago in Week 2. He'll continue being a QB2 in fantasy this weekend.
Nov 30, 2022 • 8:38 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Plans On Playing In Week 13
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ribs) said on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday that he received positive results from his scans on Monday and that he plans on playing in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears. Rodgers injured his ribs late in the Sunday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12 and never returned to the contest. X-rays ruled out a punctured lung, but it's unclear exactly what is ailing him. The 38-year-old future Hall of Famer is also dealing with an avulsion fracture in his right thumb that he's been playing with for a while, which has affected his accuracy at times. Expect Rodgers' practice repetitions to be limited this week entering Sunday's meeting with the Bears, where Rodgers will be an even riskier QB2 if he plays.
Nov 29, 2022 • 7:03 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Will Start If Healthy
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb, rib) exited Sunday night's game against the Eagles in the fourth quarter and did not return. When speaking at a press conference on Monday, head coach Matt LaFleur said the 39-year-old is feeling better than he was on Sunday and will get the start if he's cleared by medical staff. Green Bay is currently sitting at 4-8, meaning their chances of making the playoffs are very slim, but they are not mathematically eliminated. If the former MVP is sidelined, the team will turn to Jordan Love, who came in to replace Rodgers on Sunday, throwing for 113 yards and a touchdown in relief. He would be a streaming option facing the Bears on Sunday if Rodgers is out.
Nov 29, 2022 • 1:17 PM | RotoBallerPackers Don't Have Much Clarity On Aaron Rodgers
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the team doesn't have much more clarity on quarterback Aaron Rodgers' rib injury on Monday after he underwent some scans. "I know he's feeling better today. I think we'll know more in the next couple days," LaFleur said. X-rays on Rodgers' ribs on Sunday night weren't very clear, but they did rule out a punctured lung. The 38-year-old future Hall of Famer left the game in the third quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12 and didn't return, leaving his availability for Week 13 against the Chicago Bears in question. Rodgers is already playing with an avulsion fracture of his right thumb, but he said he plans to play this weekend if tests rule out any injury to his ribs. If he's not cleared, backup Jordan Love would get the start against Chicago. Stay tuned for more details on Rodgers' ribs.
Nov 28, 2022 • 11:07 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers To Undergo More Testing
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb, ribs) is expected to undergo more testing on Monday. The 39-year-old suffered a thumb fracture during Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He will also have more testing done on his ribs to see the significance of that injury. Rodgers says that he's going to be out there next week as long as he's cleared to play. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see until after the team does more testing. The Packers playoff hopes are looking bleak at the moment. Possibly, they hand over the reigns to Jordan Love for the final stretch of games. He'd have streaming potential in a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears in Week 13.
Nov 28, 2022 • 1:46 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Questionable To Return On Sunday
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (oblique) is questionable to return to Sunday night's matchup against Philadelphia. The signal-caller is already dealing with a thumb injury, so another ailment added to his list wouldn't be ideal regarding his availability moving forward. Rodgers was having a fantastic evening before taking the hit that resulted in his premature departure, amassing 140 yards and two touchdowns off 11-for-16 passing. He was observed exiting the locker room and walking back to the field without his shoulder pads, so it appears Jordan Love could be under center for the remainder of the contest.
Nov 28, 2022 • 3:53 AM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Playing Through Avulsion Fracture
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) has been playing through an avulsion fracture in his right thumb, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. The veteran initially injured himself in Week 5 but has yet to miss a game in 2022. An avulsion fracture occurs when the ligament rips "away from the attachment, taking some bone with it." The resulting joint instability can make it difficult to grip and throw a football. Such an ailment almost always requires surgery, which Rodgers intends to put off until the offseason. For now, he'll remain on the field, playing through pain and trying to get the 4-7 Packers back in playoff contention. In the meantime, he'll continue to rank as a high-end QB2 in fantasy football.
Nov 27, 2022 • 1:47 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Has Been Playing With Broken Thumb
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) confirmed on Wednesday that his right thumb has been broken since Week 5, when the injury happened on the last play in the London game. Surgery has never been on the table, and it won't be after the season, either. The 38-year-old future Hall of Famer was once again limited in practice on Wednesday, as he has been since he broke his right thumb. Rodgers hasn't missed any time with the injury, but his accuracy has been affected, and the Packers' offensive skill players continue to be banged up with injuries around him. In a tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday night, Rodgers will be a midrange QB2 option for fantasy managers.
Nov 24, 2022 • 12:07 AM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Limited In Practice On Tuesday
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday after receiving a DNP on Monday. The 38-year-old is coming off an impressive performance against an explosive Dallas defense on Sunday, leading his team to a 31-28 overtime victory. The former MVP has been under scrutiny amidst a 4-6 season but can still take his team to the playoffs because they are tied for the eighth-best record in the NFC. Rodgers has been managing the thumb issue for several weeks now and will take on the Titans Thursday night in what figures to be a competitive contest, facing another stout defense.
Nov 16, 2022 • 1:25 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers, Sammy Watkins Miss Practice
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (knee) both missed practice on Wednesday. Rodgers continues to be limited in what he can do in practice to kick off the week, but he always has returned on Thursday and Friday and hasn't missed a game due to the injury. It seems like every single one of his receivers are currently injured. It's sad to say, but Rodgers has become a low-upside QB2 in fantasy with the lack of receiving talent around him. Watkins hasn't been 100 percent since coming off Injured Reserve in Week 7. Despite plenty of opportunity in the receiving room with everyone else seemingly injured, he has just four catches on 10 targets for 48 yards. Watkins must get healthy and on the same page with Rodgers before fantasy managers will even look at him.
Nov 9, 2022 • 11:08 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Sticking To Same Routine
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. He has his injured right thumb taped, and it's the same routine he's followed in recent weeks after initially injuring his thumb three weeks ago. The 38-year-old shouldn't be in any danger of missing the Sunday night showdown on the road against the Buffalo Bills this weekend. But with veteran receiver Randall Cobb (ankle) on Injured Reserve and receivers Allen Lazard (shoulder) and Christian Watson (hamstring) potentially being sidelined, Rodgers' aerial weapons are looking pretty thin heading into a hostile environment against a strong defense. Fantasy managers shouldn't consider him in QB1 territory against the Bills.
Oct 27, 2022 • 6:23 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Misses Practice Wednesday
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) was absent from practice on Wednesday. This missed practice now marks the third Wednesday in a row that Rodgers has been unavailable. The former MVP has been enduring a rough season as he's been unable to build a strong rapport with any Green Bay receiver while his statistics have suffered. While he has continued to play over the weeks, this thumb issue may be a legitimate factor for his drop in performance. Fantasy managers should assume that Rodgers will suit up, but he is taking on a stout Buffalo Bills defense. It'd be best to look elsewhere for a starting quarterback in Week 8.
Oct 27, 2022 • 5:17 AM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Back On The Practice Field
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) returned to a full practice on Thursday and appeared to have a similar tape job on his right thumb as last week. As he did last week, Rodgers returned to practice a day after sitting out on Wednesday. The 38-year-old will play this weekend against the Washington Commanders, where he'll be in play as a low-end QB1 option in fantasy. It's a good matchup on paper, as Washington's D has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game (19.5) to opposing QBs through six weeks of the season. Rodgers has nine touchdowns to three interceptions, but he has yet to eclipse the 300-yard passing mark in 2022 without All-Pro receiver Davante Adams as his go-to guy.
Oct 20, 2022 • 8:23 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Misses Wednesday's Practice
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) is dealing with a right thumb injury and officially did not practice on Wednesday. Rodgers also missed practice last Wednesday before returning to full practices on Thursday and Friday and playing in the Week 6 loss to the New York Jets. The 38-year-old future Hall of Famer should be fine for the Week 7 game against the Washington Commanders, but his thumb injury is worth watching. He went just 26-for-41 for 246 yards with one touchdown on Sunday and has yet to go over 300 yards passing in any of his six games in 2022 without All-Pro receiver Davante Adams. Fantasy managers should continue to consider Rodgers as more of a low-end QB1 with a limited ceiling this year.
Oct 20, 2022 • 1:19 AM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Back At Practice Thursday
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) took part in Thursday's practice after being held out on Wednesday. Rodgers is dealing with a right thumb injury, but he was able to do individual drills on Thursday and should be just fine for the Week 6 meeting against the New York Jets. As predicted, the 38-year-old future Hall of Famer hasn't been as good in 2022 without All-Pro receiver Davante Adams as his top target. He has yet to go over 300 yards passing in five games and has totaled 1,157 passing yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions heading into this weekend, where he'll remain in play as a low-end QB1 for fantasy managers against the Jets.
Oct 13, 2022 • 7:06 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers Will Not Practice On Wednesday
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) will not practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. However, fantasy managers don't need to worry about the veteran quarterback's status for Sunday. LaFleur told reports, "we don't have much concern as far as gameday." Rodgers is getting the day off from practice as a precaution and nothing more. The veteran quarterback has averaged 16.4 fantasy points per game since Week 1 and has a solid matchup against the New York Jets. While he is far from a must-start, Rodgers is a low-end QB1 this week.
Oct 12, 2022 • 7:00 PM | RotoBallerAaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones Won’t Play In Preseason Finale
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and running back Aaron Jones will be held out of Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs as the team looks to keep them healthy ahead of the regular season. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur revealed Tuesday that all starters who had not previously played in preseason contests would be sticking to that plan. Jordan Love will likely continue to get an extended look as the Packers' signal caller, having delivered some up-and-down performances across the first two weeks. With AJ Dillon also not having suited up, the rushing game has been led by Tyler Goodson and Patrick Taylor. The next time that Rodgers, Jones and Co. are slated to see game action is Week 1 of the regular season vs. Minnesota on Sept. 11.
