Uncertainty For Aaron Rodgers After Jets Fire GM

There are "far more questions than answers" surrounding the future of the New York Jets and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Jets already have started cleaned house, firing coach Robert Saleh earlier this season and general manager Joe Douglas on Tuesday, which leaves Rodgers' future with the team in doubt. The veteran quarterback is under contract for next season, but will turn 41 next month, has no guaranteed money remaining on his deal, and is in the midst of a 3-8 season. The former MVP has said he is leaning toward playing in 2025, but whether it's for the Jets is yet to be decided.

Aaron Rodgers' Status With Jets In Doubt For 2025?

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has said he wants to play in 2025 despite a miserable season for the team this year. However, ESPN Jets reporter Rich Cimini said the firing of general manager Joe Douglas likely means Rodgers will not be back with New York next year. It's early to speculate, but Rodgers had a great relationship with Douglas and has advocated for interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich. With the organization likely to undergo a ton of change this offseason, finding a new franchise quarterback and resetting the roster could be on the agenda. Rodgers has completed 63.4% of his passes for 2,442 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 11 games for the Jets this season. It would be fascinating to see how many organizations would be interested in acquiring the future Hall of Famer this offseason if he becomes available.

Aaron Rodgers Mediocre In Week 11 Loss

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of his 29 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns while adding a seven-yard run in a 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11. Rodgers tossed touchdown passes to Breece Hall and Kenny Yeboah in the contest but he was held under 200 passing yards for the second straight game. It has been tough going for Rodgers and the Jets this season as he will take 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions into the bye week. He does not need to be rostered in single quarterback leagues moving forward.

Aaron Rodgers A Low-End QB2 In Week 11

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (hamstring, knee) is coming off one of his slowest games of the year as he threw for just 151 scoreless yards in a blowout loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. He has a chance to bounce back at home against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11. The Colts have struggled to slow opposing passing attacks this season as they are allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks thus far. Despite the plus matchup, Rodgers has not been fantasy-relevant very often this season, leaving him as a low-end QB2 for Week 11.

Aaron Rodgers Leaning Toward Return In 2025

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who will turn 41 years old next month, told reporters that he is leaning toward returning for the 2025 season. The veteran quarterback is under contract for another year with the Jets, which would be his 21st season in the NFL. Asked if he still wants to play next season, Rodgers said, "I think so, yeah." New York is 3-7 through 10 games and earlier this season fired head coach Robert Saleh. Once a fantasy lineup stalwart, the former MVP has mostly been relegated to a QB2 option in Superflex leagues during his Jets tenure.

Aaron Rodgers Held In Check In Loss To Cardinals

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of his 35 passes for 151 yards but failed to throw any touchdowns in a 31-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. Rodgers and the entire Jets offense came up short in what appeared to be a decent matchup against the Arizona defense on paper. He got off to an especially painful start, throwing for just 40 yards in the first half. Things picked up a bit after halftime but it was still a disappointing performance for the entire New York offense. Rodgers will hope to bounce back heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Aaron Rodgers A QB2 Vs. Arizona In Week 10

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, hamstring) is coming off one of his best games of the season as he threw for three touchdowns in a win over the Houston Texans last week. Rodgers has a chance to stay hot against the Arizona Cardinals on the road in Week 10. The Cardinals represent a good matchup for Rodgers as they are allowing the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. Rodgers settles in as a high-end QB2 in fantasy heading into Week 10.

Aaron Rodgers Tosses Three TDs In Win Over Houston On TNF

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of his 32 passes for 211 yards and three touchdowns in a 21-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game. That goes into the books as Rodgers' first game with more than two touchdown passes all season as he helped pull off the home win. Two of Rodgers' touchdown passes went to Garrett Wilson while the last one was a 37-yard strike to Davante Adams in the fourth quarter, the first touchdown connection for the two since Adams was acquired in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of Week 7. Locked in as a QB2 in fantasy, Rodgers will take 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions into his Week 10 matchup, which will be on the road against the Arizona Cardinals.

Aaron Rodgers A Low-End QB2 In Week 9

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (hamstring, knee) has thrown for two touchdowns in three of his past four games. He will look for his first three-touchdown game of the season in Week 9's Thursday night game against the Houston Texans. Rodgers has been dealing with an assortment of injuries of late, including to his hamstring and knee but he practiced fully on Tuesday and Wednesday and is good to go for Thursday. The Texans are allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game but Rodgers has yet to post a ceiling game in a disappointing Jets offense this season. Treat him as a low-end QB2 for Week 9.

Aaron Rodgers Tosses Two TDs In Loss To Patriots

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 17 of his 28 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns in a 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Rodgers and the Jets turned in an uneven performance in losing to the underdog Patriots as they struggled to move the ball at times and were unable to hold onto a five-point lead with three minutes left in the fourth quarter. Rodgers' touchdown passes went to Tyler Conklin and Xavier Gipson in the close loss to their AFC East rivals. The veteran quarterback came into the game dealing with hamstring and knee injuries but he appeared to emerge from the contest without any further injury. Rodgers will look to regroup ahead of Week 9's Thursday night game against the Houston Texans.

Aaron Rodgers Limited As Patriots Prep Continues

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, hamstring) logged a second consecutive limited practice on Thursday. The veteran signal-caller hasn't missed a snap since Week 1, but his injury status is one to monitor as it could impact his availability for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. The last time he faced New England, Rodgers racked up 281 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns. Assuming he plays in Week 8, he'll rank as a mid-to-high fantasy QB2.

Aaron Rodgers Working Through Multiple Injuries

According to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, ankle, hamstring) is dealing with a multitude of injuries, as Jonathan Jones of CBS reported. Per ESPN's Rich Cimini, the 40-year-old veteran is listed as limited for Wednesday's team practice. Rodgers has dealt with ankle and knee injuries thus far in 2024, but the soft tissue issue is new. The QB's hamstring apparently "flared up" during New York's 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Fortunately, the sentiment around the team seems to be that it won't put his status at risk for Week 8. Still, fantasy managers may want to keep an eye on him over the coming days. The Jets will line up against the New England Patriots in a divisional clash this Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers Throws One TD, Two INTs In Week 7 Loss

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of his 39 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in a 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. Rodgers has uncharacteristically struggled to take care of the ball of late, throwing six interceptions over his past three games. The veteran quarterback threw his lone touchdown to Tyler Conklin in the lopsided loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday night. Rodgers has now thrown for 1,663 yards, 10 touchdowns, and seven interceptions through seven games this season. Settled in as a QB2 in fantasy moving forward, Rodgers will take on the New England Patriots on the road in Week 8. He threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns back when these two teams met in Week 3.

Aaron Rodgers A Low-End QB2 In Week 7

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle) is coming off one of his best games of the season as he threw for a season-high 294 yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 6. He will look to keep it going on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7's Sunday night game. The Steelers have been tough on opposing quarterbacks this season, allowing the 28th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Rodgers is still dealing with a nagging ankle injury which held him out of practice on Wednesday but he is listed without an injury designation heading into Sunday. The Jets' early-week acquisition of Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders should provide a boost for Rodgers but he still sets up as a low-end QB2 heading into a difficult Week 7 matchup.

Oct 19, 2024 9:02 AM EST


Aaron Rodgers Returns To Full Practice

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. That is great news after Rodgers sat out of Wednesday's session. The veteran signal-caller played through an ankle issue during last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The fact Rodgers is back to full practice means he should be good to go for the Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodgers is showing his age as he has looked lackluster early in the season. He threw for a season-high 294 yards last week, but remains a QB2 for a tough matchup against the Steelers defense.

Oct 17, 2024 9:12 PM EST


Aaron Rodgers Will Play In Week 7

New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle) will play in Week 7 on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, although he won't take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Rodgers suffered a low-ankle sprain in the Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London but didn't miss any time and played in the Monday night loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills, throwing for a season-high 294 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. The matchup on the road against the Steelers defense isn't a great one, but Rodgers will be reuniting with All-Pro receiver Davante Adams after the Jets acquired him from the Raiders this week. It certainly raises Rodgers' fantasy ceiling the rest of the way, but fantasy managers will want to temper expectations this week for Rodgers as a low-end QB2.

Aaron Rodgers Throws Two TDs In Week 6 Loss

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of his 35 passes for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6's Monday night game. Rodgers wound up posting his best passing game of the season, setting a season-high in passing yards while tying his season-best with two touchdown passes. The veteran quarterback found Garrett Wilson for a five-yard touchdown in the first quarter and then found Allen Lazard for a 52-yard score on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half. It wasn't enough, however, as the Bills were able to pull out the close win. Rodgers has thrown for 1,387 yards, nine touchdowns, and five interceptions through six games. He will be a QB2 in fantasy in Week 7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Aaron Rodgers Off Injury Report, Sets Up As A QB2 In Week 6

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 6's Monday night game against the Buffalo Bills. After injuring his ankle in a Week 5 loss, Rodgers practiced on a limited basis on Thursday and Friday before getting upgraded to a full session on Saturday. He will draw a tough matchup against a Buffalo defense that is allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to the quarterback position this season. Rodgers has been a very mediocre fantasy quarterback this season and the tough matchup does not help. Treat him as a mid-range QB2 in fantasy heading into Week 6.

Oct 12, 2024 6:17 PM EST


Aaron Rodgers Limited Again On Friday

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle) was limited in Friday's practice. He was also limited on Thursday because of a sprained ankle suffered during the loss to the Minnesota Vikings. However, barring a setback, the signal-caller should be good to go for Monday's divisional clash with the Buffalo Bills. Rodgers hasn't had the best 2024-25 campaign, throwing for 1,093 yards, seven touchdowns, and four interceptions while completing 61.0% of his throws. With the Jets looking for answers, the team resorted to firing Robert Saleh and naming Jeff Ulbrich as the interim head coach. But unless things change on the offensive side of the ball for New York moving ahead, Rodgers is a shaky fantasy option in any format.

Oct 12, 2024 12:41 AM EST


Aaron Rodgers Will Be Ready For Monday Night Game

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle, hamstring) will be limited in the first practice of the week on Thursday, according to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich. He said that Rodgers will be ready to go for the Monday night contest in Week 6 against the visiting division-rival Buffalo Bills. The 40-year-old veteran picked up a low-ankle sprain and a hamstring injury in the Week 5 loss in London to the Minnesota Vikings. Despite Rodgers looking to be in significant pain when he injured his ankle, he didn't miss any snaps in the 23-17 loss. The future Hall of Famer should have an easier go of it against a banged-up Bills secondary this week after two rough performances the last two weeks in losses to the Broncos and Vikings. However, Rodgers is still nothing more than a low-end QB2 option in fantasy, at least until/if the Jets pull off a trade to reunite him with receiver Davante Adams.
