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.

The New York Jets won't play their starters in the preseason finale this weekend against the New York Giants, according to head coach Robert Saleh. It means that we won't see quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) at all until Week 1 of the regular season against the San Francisco 49ers as he attempts to return from a torn Achilles that kept him off the field for all of 2023. In addition, running back Breece Hall will be held out this weekend. Adrian Martinez and Andrew Peasley will work under center for the Jets against the G-Men. The 40-year-old Rodgers probably won't be in former MVP form in 2024 coming off a devastating injury, but he could bounce back and be a serviceable QB2 for fantasy managers if he stays healthy. He'll get a good Week 1 test against one of the best defenses in the league, and we wouldn't recommend using him in fantasy lineups in that one.

New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the starters won't play in the preseason finale against the New York Giants on Saturday, Aug. 22.
From TheHuddle
The New York Jets think quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) will be ready to go for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sept. 9 against the San Francisco 49ers. "I think he's absolutely ready to go," head coach Robert Saleh said. Saleh said Rodgers was "where we needed him when he first walked in. His arm is still 30 and he's got plenty of mobility." It's pretty impressive for a 40-year-old signal-caller that missed all of his first season in New York due to an Achilles tear. However, the two-time MVP had returned to practice at the end of last year and hasn't had any setbacks this offseason. It will be interesting to see how Rodgers rebounds from a lost season at his age, but fantasy managers certainly shouldn't be expecting too much, especially in a tough Week 1 matchup against the 49ers' elite defense. Remember, Rodgers was coming off one of the worst seasons of his career in his final season in Green Bay in 2022.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers won't suit up during Saturday's second preseason contest against the Carolina Panthers. It appears the Jets plan to rest a majority of their starters on Saturday. The team is reportedly resting 32 players, which includes most of their key starters. Second string quarterback Tyrod Taylor will dress but will serve as the emergency quarterback. Andrew Peasley and Adrian Martinez are reportedly going to get a majority of the snaps during Saturday's game. At this point, it seems unlikely that Rodgers takes the field until the regular season opener.
From RotoBaller
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is not dressed to practice on Thursday for precautionary reasons, according to head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets are being cautious because of the heavy rain all morning in New York, and they don't want to take the risk with their franchise signal-caller. Rodgers is already unlikely to play during the preseason this year, so this shouldn't affect his status for Saturday's exhibition opener against the visiting Washington Commanders in East Rutherford. The 40-year-old future Hall of Famer was beginning to show signs of decline back in 2022 with the Green Bay Packers before 2023's ruptured Achilles, so he's being drafted as more of a QB2 in fantasy drafts this summer. The weekly potential for Rodgers to post QB1 scores will likely be dependent on game scripts in 2024.
From RotoBaller
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) has reportedly looked impressive early in camp. The veteran quarterback has gone through nine practices in camp and did a 90-min scrimmage on Saturday. Head coach Robert Saleh said it looks like Rodgers hasn't missed any time. The 40-year-old is less than a year removed from a torn Achilles. Despite that, Rodgers says he was 95 percent healthy heading into training camp. The first chance for Rodgers to get back into game action would be Saturday in the preseason opener against the Washington Commanders. It remains to been see if Rodgers is ready for that next step.

New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is not expected to suit up for any preseason games, according to head coach Robert Saleh.
Fantasy Spin: The Jets have little to gain by playing Rodgers next month as they attempt to go all-in on the 2024 season. The 40-year-old Rodgers does little with his legs at this point of his career, but his presence should enable fantasy assets such as Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson to reach their ceilings. So long as Rodgers makes it through most of the season, both young players could push for No. 1 overall status at their position. Conversely, Rodgers should be viewed as a respectable QB2 option.
From TheHuddle
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), who is recovering from his Achilles injury, is unlikely to play this preseason. Even if Rodgers hadn't suffered a torn Achilles last year, he would have been unlikely to see much action, if any at all, in the preseason. The 40-year-old future Hall of Famer tore his Achilles early in Week 1 of last year's regular season opener and missed all of the 2024 campaign, although he was practicing with the team late in the year and is on track to be 100% for the season opener this fall. Fantasy managers should be very skeptical that the four-time MVP can recapture his pre-injury form, even if the Jets have some high-end weapons around him on offense. Treat Rodgers as a low-end QB2 in fantasy with upside for more if he stays healthy for the entire 2024 season.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers' debut season with the New York Jets ended after just four snaps due to a torn left Achilles. NFL.com's Judy Battista visited with the highly motivated 40-year-old quarterback at training camp, and his mission remains the same: "I'd like to still have two great years." Rodgers is looking forward to the upcoming joint practices the Jets have scheduled against the Washington Commanders, New York Giants, and Carolina Panthers for the measuring sticks they will provide as works his way back from such a serious injury, considering he's unlikely to play in any preseason games this summer. The four-time MVP's best fantasy days are likely behind him, but he has enough weapons in New York that he could still churn out some QB1-caliber weeks in the proper game environments. The vaunted Jets defense is likely to diminish shootout potential this year, so Rodgers is just a QB2 bet at his 134 ADP.
From RotoBaller
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed uncertainty on his player future beyond the 2024 season while on Pardon My Take on Tuesday. When asked how many more years he will play in the NFL, Rodgers said, "I don't know. This one, for sure. I'd like to do -- I wanted to do two good ones and give us a chance to retire a Jet. Win two Super Bowls." The 40-year-old's willingness to play beyond the 2024 season will likely come down to how this season goes and how well he plays while coming off a torn left Achilles in Week 1 of 2023. The odds of Rodgers having another MVP-like season at this point in his career are unlikely, but if anything can do it, it would be him. He'll have plenty of weapons around him on offense as he attempts a successful return from a serious injury, but fantasy managers need to temper their expectations and treat him as more of a low-end QB2.
From RotoBaller
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) officially reported to training camp on Tuesday morning, according to a photo posted on the team's official X account. Rodgers had previously skipped minicamp and was subsequently fined, but he's back at the Jets' facilities as training camp gets underway across the NFL. Rodgers is looking to make a big impact in 2024 after suffering a torn Achilles during his first game with the Jets last year. Fantasy managers who believe Rodgers can get back on track might salivate at his current ADP of 133, which makes him the 20th quarterback off the board in redraft leagues. The Jets have struggled with quarterback play in recent years, but pairing Rodgers with a talented group of weapons such as Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall might just be the recipe for success.

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'.
