Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Joe Burrow

Thursday, December 7, 11:32 PM

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) had a planned off day in his rehab on Wednesday but returned to a limited practice on Thursday. The fact that Rodgers is even practicing at all after tearing his Achilles in Week 1 is amazing in itself. With that said, the 40-year-old still isn't close to game action and isn't going to attempt a miraculous comeback in 2023 unless the Jets somehow start winning games to get into the postseason picture in the AFC. For fantasy purposes, it's even more of a long shot that Rodgers will make an impact this year. In a best-case scenario, Rodgers was hoping to potentially return in Week 16 on Christmas Eve against the Washington Commanders.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Monday that quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) underwent successful surgery on his injured right wrist. "The procedure went as planned and he is expected to make a complete recovery. Joe will return to Cincinnati this week to be with the team and begin the recovery and rehab process," the team said in a statement. Burrow tore a ligament in his right wrist in the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and will be forced to miss the rest of what was an injury filled 2023 campaign for the 26-year-old. With better health in 2024, Burrow could be a nice QB1 bounce-back target in fantasy drafts. Jake Browning lost his first game as the starter in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and will lead Cincy's offense the rest of the way.
