Who Should I Start? Jarvis Landry or Aaron Rodgers

Free-agent wide receiver Jarvis Landry worked out for the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday. The five-time Pro Bowler has not played with anyone in 2023 after two straight down seasons in 2021 and 2022 with the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints, respectively, that were marred by injuries. The 31-year-old slot receiver caught just 25 passes for 272 yards and one touchdown on 39 targets in nine games for the Saints last year, but he does have nine years of experience in the NFL, including three 1,000-yard seasons. The Colts are looking for some receiver insurance heading into Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday after top wideout Michael Pittman Jr. suffered a concussion in last Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), who is coming off a torn left Achilles suffered in the season opener in 2023, was present for Day 1 of the team's voluntary offseason workouts on Monday. Despite being 40 years old and coming off a pretty serious injury that knocked him out for all of last year, the future Hall of Famer is hoping to play multiple more seasons. Rodgers was able to return to practices late last season, so barring some sort of setback this offseason or in training camp this summer, Rodgers will be ready to go for Week 1 of the 2024 regular season. He has plenty of weapons around him in New York's offense, but it's fair to wonder how an aging signal-caller will do coming off a lost season. At best, fantasy managers should treat him as a low-end QB1 injury risk in drafts this fall.
