Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Baker Mayfield

Friday, February 21, 4:08 PM

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who will eventually be released by the Jets this offseason, is looking to play again in 2025 and wants to play for a contender, according to NFL.com's Kevin Patra. When asked what Rodgers is looking for in his next team, he said, "If they got a good team." The 41-year-old four-time MVP tore his Achilles in Week 1 in 2023 and was inconsistent for the Jets in 2024, so it remains to be seen if any contending teams will actually want to sign him this offseason. The teams that are in the market for a veteran QB, such as the Las Vegas Raiders and Cleveland Browns, aren't exactly good teams. The future Hall of Famer might have to wait until after the draft in April until later this offseason to figure out the best situation that suits him after throwing for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 games in his final year with Gang Green.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 15 of 18 pass attempts for 185 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's playoff loss to the Washington Commanders. He also took one sack and rushed for 23 yards. It was an uncharacteristically quiet showing for Mayfield, who hadn't completed fewer than 18 passes since Week 2 of the regular season. With that said, fantasy managers and bettors have to be pleased with his high completion rate and overall clean performance as he didn't turn the ball over. Mayfield finished the 2024 campaign with the NFC's most passing touchdowns, but he also led the whole league in interceptions. His high passing output keeps him in the mid-range QB1 conversation for 2025 fantasy football.
