Rodgers had a monster game at Jacksonville in Week 15 with 36.1 Fantasy points, but he's also scored at least 18 points in six of his past seven outings. The Rams are a tough defense and have allowed just two quarterbacks in their past six games to score more than 16.9 Fantasy points, but Rodgers at home is worth using as a low-end starter in one-quarterback leagues.
Rodgers tops this list for the second week in a row, and we can only hope it goes as well as last week. He's a top-12 option in Week 16 partially because of recent play and partially because of the landscape of the position this week. Rodgers is QB14 with an average of 20.5 FPPG since Davante Adams joined the team, and he's averaged 26.8 in his last two.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Three TDs in rare Jets win
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 16 of 30 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars. He also rushed five times for 45 yards and threw a two-point conversion.
Rodgers posted his third-highest passing yardage total of the campaign while setting a new season high in rushing yards in this throwback performance. He answered an opening-drive Jaguars touchdown with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson, but the veteran quarterback finished the first half with just three completions and 55 passing yards. Rodgers bounced back in the third quarter with a go-ahead one-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams, whom Rodgers connected with for a 43-yard gain earlier on the drive. After the Jets fell behind 22-17 in the fourth quarter, Rodgers found Adams for a 71-yard touchdown and a two-point conversion to take a three-point lead with 3:24 remaining, then linked up with Adams for a 41-yard gain to set up Breece Hall's game-winning touchdown run. Adams accounted for 198 of Rodgers' 289 passing yards, and their chemistry will be tough for the Rams to stop in Week 16.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
Rodgers will be more of an option in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 15, but he does have the chance to play well against the Jaguars, who are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. For the season, eight quarterbacks have scored at least 20 Fantasy points against Jacksonville, and the Jaguars allow 24.7 Fantasy points per game to the position. Rodgers has scored at least 18 Fantasy points in three games in a row and five of his past six outings, so hopefully he does well once again in Week 15.
Rodgers just had his best passing output of the season with 339 passing yards against the Dolphins. Now he faces a Jacksonville defense that has given up the most Fantasy points to opposing QBs. I would not be surprised if he tops 300 yards again and throws more than one touchdown this time. Rodgers is a one-week stream only.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Week 15 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
It's tough to trust Rodgers in the Fantasy playoffs in one-quarterback leagues, but he has scored at least 18 Fantasy points in three games in a row and five of his past six outings. And he has a great matchup against the Jaguars in Week 15 since Jacksonville is No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. If you need a quarterback in deeper leagues, then hopefully, Rodgers can take advantage of the Jaguars defense in this matchup.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Season-high 339 yards in OT loss
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 27 of 39 passes for 339 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.
Rodgers not only surpassed 200 passing yards for the first time since Week 9, but he exceeded 300 for the first time as a member of the Jets. He found Garrett Wilson for a 35-yard gain to convert on fourth down in the second quarter, setting up Isaiah Davis' 17-yard touchdown run on the next play. Rodgers connected with Wilson again for a 42-yard pickup in the third quarter to set up Rodgers' only touchdown pass of the afternoon -- a three-yarder to Davante Adams. All told, Wilson and Adams combined for 223 of Rodgers' 339 passing yards, but the Jets never got a chance to possess the ball in overtime as Miami drove down the field to drop New York's record to 3-10. Barring an announcement to the contrary from the team, Rodgers will remain the starter in Week 15, when the Jets face the 3-10 Jaguars in a game with significant implications for the 2025 NFL Draft order.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Hoping to finish season
Rotowire
Not only are the Jets starting Rodgers this week against Miami, but they hope that he can play the rest of the season, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.
Glazer emphasized how much Rodgers was playing through injuries earlier in the season, including a Week 2 Grade 2 hamstring tear. This shoots down earlier speculation that the Jets might turn to Tyrod Taylor, at least for now -- each week's results can potentially change an organization's mindset.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Rodgers has actually scored at least 18 Fantasy points in four of his past five games, but he continues to struggle each week. He could potentially get benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor, and you can't start Rodgers with any confidence in Week 14 at Miami since the Dolphins are No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. I would only consider starting Rodgers in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 14.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Will retain starting job
Rotowire
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Monday that Rodgers will retain the Jets' starting quarterback job for the team's Week 14 game at Miami, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports. "We have great belief in Aaron, and we think he gives us the best opportunity to win," Ulbrich said.
Ulbrich reaffirmed Rodgers' standing atop the depth chart after the veteran signal-caller endured another disappointing outing in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks, dropping the Jets to 3-9 on the season and putting the team on the brink of elimination from playoff contention. Coming out of a Week 12 bye, the Jets offense initially looked sharp with two first-quarter touchdowns, but Rodgers struggled to lead productive drives thereafter and threw a back-breaking pick-six midway through the second quarter that kicked off a stretch of 19 unanswered Seattle points to close out the game. Through his 12 starts this season, Rodgers has completed 62.5 percent of his passes for a career-low 6.3 yards per attempt, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions. While Rodgers will remain the Jets' starter for at least one more week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday that the 41-year-old signal-caller is viewed as a long shot to return to the team in 2025. As such, it wouldn't be surprising if Rodgers was benched at some point down the stretch in favor of Tyrod Taylor, as the 35-year-old backup is under contract through 2025.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Throws pick-six in loss to Seattle
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 21 of 39 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks. He added two rushing attempts for six yards.
Rodgers has been playing through injuries to his legs but looked much more spry coming out of the Week 12 bye, extending plays with his legs and even throwing a block on a reverse in the first quarter. He also threw a pair of short first-quarter touchdown passes (eight yards to Davante Adams and four yards to Isaiah Davis). Rodgers should have had his third touchdown of the first half in the second quarter, but he overthrew a wide open Garrett Wilson in the end zone, then tossed a pick-six on the very next play. That interception turned the tide, kicking off a 19-0 Seattle run to end the game. The nearly 41-year-old quarterback is considered a longshot to return to the Jets next season, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, but Rodgers should remain the starter for the remainder of the 2024 campaign, which will continue with a Week 14 road game in Miami.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Rodgers has actually scored 20.1 Fantasy points in three of his past four games, and he hasn't thrown an interception since Week 7 at Pittsburgh. But I don't love this matchup for him, and Seattle just held Kyler Murray and Brock Purdy to a combined 444 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the past two games. Purdy had a rushing touchdown to get over 20 Fantasy points, but Murray was held to 10.3 points in Week 12. And the Seahawks have allowed six passing touchdowns and six interceptions in their past five games against Kirk Cousins, Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, Purdy, and Murray.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Fewer than 200 yards again
Rotowire
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: 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: 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: 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: 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.
