Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Trevor Lawrence

Saturday, September 16, 9:25 PM

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) hopes to return in time for the postseason, assuming the team makes it that far. The veteran signal-caller, who was traded to New York during the offseason, ruptured his Achilles only four snaps into his tenure with the Jets. However, after it appeared all was lost, Rodgers underwent an "innovative" procedure on Wednesday known as a "Speed Bridge," performed by "renowned orthopedic surgeon" Dr. Neal ElAttrache. While the news doesn't mean much for fantasy managers regarding the 2023-24 campaign, it likely means that Rodgers isn't planning on calling it quits anytime soon. It's also a good sign concerning his availability for OTAs and training camp next offseason. For now, Zach Wilson is expected to handle things under center moving ahead.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence went 23 of 30 for 207 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions in Sunday's 28-7 win over the Falcons. It was yet another week with another disappointing fantasy performance from the former No. 1 overall pick. With Jacksonville electing to give running back Travis Etienne Jr. 20 carries and mainly controlling the game with their defense, Lawrence didn't necessarily have to push the ball much. He was able to add 42 yards with his legs, making his fantasy day not completely unusable, but Lawrence still needs to break through and live up to his ADP of QB7. It gets more challenging next week with a looming trip to Buffalo.
