Rodgers had a lost first season with the Jets, getting hurt in the very first game of the season. He suffered a torn Achilles' and was lost for the season. He will be ready for the start of this year, though, and resume his role as the starting quarterback for the Jets. He gets to lead an offense with many talented weapons, including star receiver Garrett Wilson. Rodgers remains very talented and one of the best in football. Rodgers has more than 30 total touchdowns in 10 of 16 seasons. Rodgers also has at least two rushing touchdowns in 10 of the last 16 seasons. His rushing totals have gone down as he has gotten older, though, and could dwindle even more this season after suffering a serious leg injury last year.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Rodgers is a wild card. He is another year older and coming off a very serious injury. He probably is just outside that elite category these days. He might be a good platoon option for fantasy teams. He'll get around 4,000-passing yards, 30 total scores and 100-rushing yards with very few turnovers.
2023 was a lost season for New York Jets quarterbackAaron Rodgers (Achilles) after barely making it through three offensive snaps in a Jets uniform. Expectations were sky-high in New York after the signing of Rodgers in the offseason, but a torn Achilles tendon sent his season asunder before gaining any real traction. In 2024, Rodgers looks to become his old self after an unprecedented rehab for a 40-year-old NFL vet. The last time we saw him play an entire season, it was in Packers' green, but the results differed from what we're accustomed to. In 2022, Rodgers failed to reach the 30-touchdown mark and had one of the worst seasons of his career -; throwing for 3,695 yards (career-low) and 12 interceptions (career-high), culminating in an uncharacteristic QB13 finish. The Jets have a solid group of wide receivers in Garrett Wilson, free agent acquisition Mike Williams (knee), and third-round rookie Malachi Corley. Rodgers' best fantasy days may be far behind him as he climbs in age and works back from a significant injury, making him a better bet in best ball, as a bench quarterback, or a QB2 in superflex leagues with minimal upside in redraft circles. RotoBaller's quarterback rankings are on board with this assessment, as the veteran is ranked 20th among all signal callers heading into 2024 fantasy football drafts.

New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers says his Achilles' tendon 'feels good' ahead of training camp, he told reporters on Saturday, July 13. 'My Achilles feels good, you know. I felt really good at the end of last year,' Rodgers said. 'Then, you know, there's always that kind of plateau part. It's just about getting back into it. I felt good all spring.'
From TheHuddle
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) said he "feels good" when asked about his status with training camp approaching at the end of July. Rodgers tore his Achilles on the first offensive series in Week 1 last fall and missed the rest of his first year in New York. However, he miraculously returned to practices late last season and said his surgically repaired Achilles has felt good throughout the offseason and during organized team activities a month ago. A healthy Rodgers should give Gang Green a realistic shot at the postseason given all the weapons they have on offense, but fantasy managers should temper expectations for a 40-year-old signal-caller coming off a major injury. If he stays healthy, Rodgers could easily finish as a top-15 fantasy QB, but relying on him as your QB1 is a risky proposition.
From RotoBaller
Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams said Tuesday, July 9, during the 'Up and Adams' show that New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers continues to push for Adams to join his former quarterback in New York. 'He's in the ear, that's for sure, he's in the ear,' he told host Kay Adams. 'But it's not as easy,' Adams added. 'Obviously, we can get together and talk about the old times and the potential of doing this and that, but like I said, I'm a Raider, and he knows that.'
Fantasy Spin: While this tidbit makes for a fun moment of gossip during the doldrums of the NFL offseason, Adams remains a Raider, and there's no reason to believe that will change before Week 1.
From TheHuddle
The New York Jets offense should be more fine-tuned in its second year under offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett in 2024 while also getting future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers back from the torn Achilles he suffered in Week 1 last fall. In addition to Rodgers' return, the Jets added Tyron Smith and John Simpson to the offensive line in free agency, traded for Morgan Moses and drafted Olu Fashanu in the first round. At receiver, the team added Mike Williams (knee) and drafted Malachi Corley. "Now you can really detail it up. You can talk about the intricacies of the route. You can experiment with new plays, new motions, all kinds of different, fun things. So it's been really good. I think the guys have really enjoyed it," Hackett said.

Dynasty | Jets running back Breece Hall is declaring himself fully healthy as the season approaches. Dynasty Analysis: We've seen some true glimpses of stardom with Hall, who famously tore his ACL late in his rookie season. As with most players, that injury takes a full year to recover from and another year to truly feel like it never happened. Hall still ran for nearly 1,000 yards last season and caught 76 passes on a team that was dreadful on offense. With Aaron Rodgers also back, Hall could be the RB1 this season and the chance to buy low on him is ending.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) missed the team's mandatory minicamp last month because he had a pre-planned trip to Egypt, according to sources. Rodgers attended every day of the team's Phase 1 voluntary workouts and missed one week of Phase 2 but attended every organized team activity workout, which were also voluntary. The future Hall of Famer originally planned his trip to Egypt during his recovery from the season-ending Achilles injury he suffered in Week 1 of 2023. While it was an unexcused absence, the Jets aren't concerned that it will impact Rodgers' season this fall as he recovers from his Achilles injury. Rodgers should be able to bounce back from a career-worst season in his final year in Green Bay in 2022, but fantasy managers also shouldn't be lumping him into the QB1 discussion at his age while coming off a serious injury.
From RotoBaller
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said there was 'no issue' between QB Aaron Rodgers (personal) and his teammates regarding the quarterback's absence from mandatory minicamp. Saleh added that he and Rodgers are 'on the exact same page.'
Fantasy Spin: This is pure offseason fodder that will have no bearing once Week 1 rolls around. Coming off a torn Achilles', Rodgers is a QB2 with some upside.
From TheHuddle
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh told reporters on Tuesday that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is not at mandatory minicamp, an unexcused absence that is subject to fines. Saleh said it was for an event "important to him." In the grand scheme of things, Rodgers' absence isn't a huge deal, especially since he was present for all of the team's voluntary organized team activities leading up to minicamp. Still, it's a missed opportunity for him to develop more chemistry with his receivers after missing all of 2023 with a torn Achilles tendon. The 40-year-old resumed practicing with the team late last season and should be fully ready to go by Week 1 of the regular season this fall. Rodgers could have some big games here and there if he stays healthy in 2024, but for fantasy purposes, he's firmly in low-end QB2 territory coming off a serious injury.
From RotoBaller
Updating a previous report, New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (personal) is not expected to participate in mandatory minicamp this week. While the absence is considered unexcused and Rodgers will be subject to fines due to not being present, the absence is one that Rodgers stated was 'important to him' and head coach Robert Saleh knew about 'a while ago'.
From TheHuddle
New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers is absent from mandatory minicamp Tuesday, June 11. The absence is unexpected and unexcused.
Fantasy Spin: Rodgers is a QB2 that could wind up being a matchup play in fantasy.
From TheHuddle
New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers has thrown at least 25 touchdowns in each of the 13 seasons that he has played at least 10 games, but only four quarterbacks in NFL history have thrown 25 or more touchdowns in a season after failing to complete a pass in the previous season.
Fantasy Spin: After his first season with the Jets ended almost as soon as it began, Rodgers will return to an improved offensive line and supporting cast. At his age, a return to MVP form seems unlikely, but Rodgers should still be a high-end QB2.
From TheHuddle
New York Jets rookie offensive tackle Olu Fashanu (quadriceps) was a full participant at organized team activities earlier this week. Fashanu has been recovering from a strained quadriceps muscle that he suffered while running the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine in February but appears to be fine now and should be ready for training camp, the preseason and the start of his rookie season in 2024. The Jets selected the 21-year-old with the 11th overall pick in last month's NFL draft, so Fashanu will most likely become a starter for the Jets sooner than later in 2024. The move to bolster the team's offensive line early in the draft made sense, considering the Jets need to do a better job of protecting veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers so that he can stay healthy for a full season.
From RotoBaller
New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers said he has confidence in offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and believes the offense will be successful this upcoming season.
Fantasy Spin: Rodgers has had success playing in a Hackett offense in the past, but it is not known how the Jets will play this upcoming season. Rodgers should post good numbers if he can stay healthy but probably will be a No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.
From TheHuddle
New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is 'doing everything during organized team activities' and practicing with no restrictions, according to head coach Robert Saleh.
Fantasy Spin: This was expected, but it is still great news for a 40-year-old quarterback to be restriction-free just over eight months after suffering such a devastating injury. As long as he can avoid any setbacks and stay healthy this season, Rodgers figures to be a high-end QB2 at worst on what should be a very good offense.
From TheHuddle
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is doing everything at organized team activities this week and has no restrictions. This was the expectation all along after Rodgers was practicing with the team late last season despite tearing his Achilles in Week 1 of 2023, but it's nice to see him back out there running around during offseason practices. The 40-year-old future Hall of Famer didn't play at all last year due to his Achilles injury, and fantasy managers shouldn't forget that he had his worst season as a professional in his final year in Green Bay in 2022. Still, if Rodgers can stay healthy this year, he should at least be a QB1 streamer in the right matchups in fantasy leagues with all the weapons he has around him in New York. We'll continue to monitor Rodgers' recovery this offseason, especially once the team gets into full contact.
From RotoBaller
The New York Jets agreed to terms with first-round pick Olu Fashanu on his rookie deal on Monday. The deal is for four years and $20,510,710 fully guaranteed and includes the standard fifth-year team option. It was reported on Sunday that Fashanu strained his quadriceps while running the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine and could miss some or all of the Jets' organized team activities this offseason. The Jets took the 21-year-old with the 11th overall pick in this year's NFL draft to give veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers some more protection in 2024. Barring a setback, Fashanu should be ready to go for the start of his rookie season this fall. So far, he's been working off to the side with trainers during the team's rookie minicamp.
From RotoBaller
New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is expected to practice without restrictions once the team begins Phase Three of its offseason program in two weeks, head coach Robert Saleh told reporters on May 3.
Fantasy Spin: Great news for the entire New York offense. Assuming Rodgers can stay healthy this season and resumes playing at the high level he was during his days with the Green Bay Packers, Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall should deliver top-10 fantasy production at their respective positions. Mike Williams and rookie Malachi Corley should also be considered WR3 and WR5 options, respectively.
From TheHuddle
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that there will be no restrictions for quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) when Phase 3 of the offseason begins in two weeks, which consists of 10 organized team activity practices. "Once phase three hits, we're not anticipating any restrictions from what we can and can't do with him," Saleh said. Meanwhile, rookie QB Jordan Travis (ankle), is expected to be ready for training camp after suffering a devastating injury in November. The 40-year-old Rodgers is coming off a torn left Achilles that he suffered on the first offensive series of the season in 2023. The odds are against him returning to his MVP form with the Jets, but he's not lacking for offensive weapons around him if he can stay healthy in 2024.
From RotoBaller
New York Jets offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker (Achilles), who just had his fifth-year option picked up, said he is "on pace for a good start to the season." The No. 14 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft suffered a torn Achilles in Week 5 of last season and missed the remainder of the year on Injured Reserve. He was limited to just seven games in 2022 due to a torn tricep, so it's a positive sign that he's optimistic about his recovery. Tucker has played both guard and tackle for New York, but he's a more natural fit at guard and is projected to play on the best offensive line of his pro career. This offseason, New York signed future Hall of Fame left tackle Tyron Smith, traded for veteran right tackle Morgan Moses, and drafted Penn State rookie Olu Fashanu in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Clearly, the team wants to do a much better job of protecting Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) this season, and Vera-Tucker staying healthy will play a factor in doing so.
From RotoBaller
Dynasty | The New York Jets drafted Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Travis could be the quarterback of the future if the cards fall right. A flat-out dominant performer at Florida State, his year was cut short by a devastating leg injury. There's a lot of developing for him to do but he could sit behind Aaron Rodgers for a couple of seasons and truly learn the position while getting himself fully healthy. Travis is a sleeper in superflex leagues for sure as Travis does have some real talent.
