Rodgers completed 22 of 29 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns while rushing once for seven yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.
The Jets didn't pick up a first down until after the two-minute warning in the first half, but they finally showed some life on their last drive before halftime, which Rodgers capped with a 29-yard touchdown pass to Breece Hall. Rodgers added an 11-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Yeboah to put the Jets up 24-16 in the fourth quarter, but the Colts responded with a 12-3 run. Rodgers had a chance to save the day after taking over with 46 seconds remaining and no timeouts, but he proceeded to fumble the ball and then take a sack within a three-play span as time ran out on the Jets, and they fell to 3-8 heading into their Week 12 bye.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
I thought Rodgers would struggle at Arizona, and he did with just 4.1 Fantasy points. Prior to that, he scored at least 21.3 Fantasy points in two outings against New England and Houston, and he should be in that range against the Colts at home in Week 11. Five quarterbacks have scored at least 21.3 Fantasy points against Indianapolis this season, and Rodgers should be considered a low-end starter in all leagues in this matchup.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Looks washed in blowout loss
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 151 yards and no touchdowns while losing a fumble on one of his three sacks taken in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.
Rodgers looked like a shell of his former MVP self in a contest that the Jets absolutely needed to win, failing to throw a TD pass after having 10 over his previous five starts. The 40-year-old had strung together a pair of strong outings in recent weeks, but his arm simply looked gassed once the team fell behind and needed to put up points quickly. Rodgers and the Jets need to re-evaluate their gameplan now that the team has fallen to 3-7. For now, expect the veteran signal-caller to be under center against the Colts next Sunday.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Rodgers has scored at least 21.3 Fantasy points in three of his past four games, including a season-high 26.3 points in Week 9 against Houston in the first game where Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams did something of significance at the same time. But I don't know if the Cardinals qualify as a good matchup after holding Justin Herbert, Tua Tagovailoa, and Caleb Williams to 16.7 Fantasy points or less in each of the past three games and the only quarterback to score more than 18.5 Fantasy points against Arizona this season without a rushing touchdown was Jordan Love in Week 6. Rodgers is more of a bust alert than a must-sit quarterback, but I don't love the matchup for him this week.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
In Week 9 against Houston, we saw how good Rodgers could be when Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams both had a big game at the same time. Rodgers scored a season-high 26.3 Fantasy points with Wilson (twice) and Adams finding the end zone, and hopefully, that's a sign of things to come. He has a great upcoming schedule against Arizona in Week 10, Indianapolis in Week 11, Seattle in Week 13, Miami in Week 14, Jacksonville in Week 15, and the Rams in Week 16, with a bye in Week 12. Rodgers could be a league-winning Fantasy quarterback, and he's worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Adds/Streamers (QB Preview)
Rotowire
Rodgers has a good chance to be a QB1 rest of season. He has one of the best wide receiver duos in the league and a pass-catching back that can take it to the house from anywhere. He's thrown multiple touchdown passes in four of his last five games and his passer rating has been over 110 in both of the games he's played with Davante Adams. I like him as a top-10 QB in Week 10 against the Cardinals.
Rodgers completed 22 of 32 passes for 211 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed once for minus-1 yard in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
The first half was once again a source of major concern for Rodgers and the Jets' offense, as they were shut out altogether. However, the future Hall of Famer came alive in the second half despite losing Davante Adams for a time due to a concussion check, connecting with Garrett Wilson (21, 26 yards) and Adams (37 yards) for his trio of scoring tosses. The touchdown tally was a season high for Rodgers, who also avoided interceptions for the second straight game and recorded completions to seven different targets overall. With New York's losing streak now snapped, Rodgers will look to string together consecutive wins for the second time as a member of the Jets at the expense of the Cardinals in a Week 10 road matchup on Sunday, Nov. 10.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: No injury designation for Thursday
Rotowire
Rodgers (knee/hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Texans.
Rodgers has dealt with various lower-body injuries this season but hasn't come close to missing a game. He'll face a tough Houston defense Thursday, albeit with safety Jimmie Ward (groin) and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) both missing a third and fourth straight game, respectively. The Jets offense is also missing two starters, wide receiver Allen Lazard (chest) and right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle).

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Full go Tuesday
Rotowire
Rodgers (knee/hamstring) was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Rodgers has been nursing nagging knee and hamstring injuries, which resulted in him being estimated as a limited participant on the first practice report the Jets released Monday. Head coach Jeff Ulbrich previously indicated that the star quarterback didn't suffer any setbacks in Sunday's loss to the Patriots, and his being listed as full participant Tuesday clears the way for him to start Thursday's game against the Texans.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Estimated as limited Monday

Rodgers (knee/hamstring) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Coach Jeff Ulbrich said Monday that Rodgers didn't suffer any setbacks in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Patriots, so it sounds like he'll be fine for Thursday night's start against the Texans. He's been tending to a multitude of injuries for weeks now.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Two TDs not enough in Week 8
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 17 of 28 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
Rodgers threw a two-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Conklin in the first quarter and a one-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Gipson in the second, but the Jets came up a day late and a dollar short in another last-dash comeback bid. New York's sixth loss ended with a gimpy Rodgers and the offensive line hustling in vain to get a spike off as the final seconds ticked off after a 16-yard completion to Davante Adams on the game's final play. Conklin and Gipson have combined to catch all three of Rodgers' touchdown passes in two games since Adams' arrival in New York. Rodgers and the Jets won't have long to dwell on this latest disappointment, as they'll be right back in action Thursday against the Texans.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Cleared to face Patriots
Rotowire
Rodgers (hamstring/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Rodgers upgraded to full participation in practice Friday after a pair of limited sessions. Per John Pullano of the Jets' official site, interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday that Rodgers' injuries "flared up" during the Week 7 loss to the Steelers, but they aren't expected to affect the veteran quarterback's availability on game days. Rodgers will have a high Week 8 ceiling against the 1-6 Patriots in what will be Davante Adams' second game as a Jet.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Limited in Thursday's session
Rotowire
Rodgers (hamstring/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
On the Jets' initial Week 8 injury report released Wednesday, Rodgers was listed as a limited participant due to hamstring, knee and ankle injuries. Only the first two injuries are listed alongside his name on Thursday's report, but Rodgers may still need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots. At this stage, the Jets haven't suggested that Rodgers' status for Sunday is in any real jeopardy.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: QBs to Start
Rotowire
The last time Rodgers faced the Patriots he scored a season-high 25 Fantasy points, and he didn't have Davante Adams for that Week 3 game. Adams didn't help Rodgers in Week 7 at Pittsburgh since he scored just 15 Fantasy points, but the Steelers pass defense is tough. I'm counting on Rodgers and Adams to have more success this week at New England, and I would use Rodgers as a low-end No. 1 quarterback in Week 8.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Not participating in walk-through
Rotowire
Rodgers (ankle) isn't slated to participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
That said, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich noted that Rodgers is on track to play Sunday against the Steelers, with the quarterback thus likely to practice fully by the end of the week. Meanwhile, star wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) -- whom the Jets obtained in a trade with the Raiders on Tuesday -- is slated to be listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through and is expected to play this weekend. Rodgers suffered a left low-ankle sprain in the third quarter of the Jets' Week 5 loss to the Vikings in London, but he proceeded to take every snap on offense in Monday's loss to the Bills while completing 23 of 35 pass attempts for 294 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Tosses for two scores in loss
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 19 of 25 passes for 294 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.
Rodgers played well in the Jets' first game since firing head coach Robert Saleh and changing the offensive playcaller from Nathaniel Hackett to Todd Downing, but New York came up just short due to two missed field goals from Greg Zuerlein and numerous costly penalties on the offense. After tossing a five-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson in the first quarter, Rodgers delivered his best play as a Jet to give the team a spark on the final play of the first half, connecting with Allen Lazard for a 52-yard Hail Mary touchdown. The Jets moved the ball well in the second half as Rodgers came six yards shy of his first 300-yard passing performance since Week 14 of the 2021 season, but they failed to build a lead and eventually ran out of chances when Mike Williams fell down on Buffalo's game-sealing interception. The desperation level will be high for Rodgers and the 2-4 Jets against the Steelers next Sunday.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Limited by ankle Friday

Rodgers (ankle) remained limited in practice Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Rodgers has registered back-to-back limited practices as the Jets prepare for Monday's pivotal home game against the Bills, the winner of which will be in first place in the AFC East. He's dealing with a low-ankle sprain, but Rodgers may be over the hamstring issue that also has been bothering him, as it wasn't listed on Friday's injury report. He'll try to upgrade to full participation Saturday in an effort to avoid an injury designation.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
As of Wednesday morning, the Jets had not traded for Davante Adams, which is clearly a situation to monitor. We'll see if a deal gets done this week, but I would only start Rodgers in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues against the Bills. The Jets are in turmoil after firing Robert Saleh on Tuesday, and while they might end up being a good thing in the long run, I don't expect that to help Rodgers against the Bills. Buffalo has allowed just one quarterback to score more than 17.9 Fantasy points this season, which was Lamar Jackson in Week 4, including matchups with C.J. Stroud, Kyler Murray, and Trevor Lawrence. Rodgers has scored more than 19 Fantasy points just once this season in Week 3 against New England, and he combined for 27.4 Fantasy points in his past two outings against Denver and Minnesota. Rodgers should improve if Adams is added, and we'll adjust our outlook for him moving forward if a trade actually occurs.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Ankle injury not overly concerning
Rotowire
Head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Rodgers' sprained left ankle will be examined further, but the Jets have been encouraged by all the preliminary evaluations of the injury, Ethan B. Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Rodgers is tending to a low-ankle sprain, which he appeared to sustain when he took a big hit on a third-down incompletion with 6:11 remaining in the third quarter of Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. However, after a roughing the punter penalty extended the Jets' drive, Rodgers returned to the field for the next offensive play, and he ended up playing all 71 snaps in the loss while completing 29 of 54 attempts for two touchdowns, three interceptions and 244 yards. Though Saleh's comments suggest that Rodgers will be good to go for next Monday's game against the Bills, the veteran quarterback's practice participation still could be managed leading up to the contest.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Cleared for takeoff in London
Rotowire
Rodgers (knee) isn't listed on Friday's injury report and will start Sunday's game against the Vikings in London, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Rodgers was banged up in the Jets' Week 4 loss to Denver but didn't miss any snaps in that game and returned to full practice participation Thursday, suggesting he was never truly in danger of sitting out against Minnesota. Confirmation of his availability Friday will spare Rodgers' fantasy managers the headache of getting up early to check on his status before Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
