Jets' Aaron Rodgers expects to play next season

Field Level Media

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers acknowledges he is not having a good season, but he doesn't see it as the end of his career.

Asked Wednesday whether he expects to play again next year, Rodgers replied, "I think so, yeah."

The 40-year-old veteran added, "I'm not playing as well as I would've liked to play, for sure. The beauty in this game is it's a team game. The frustrating part is that if you're a great competitor, you hold yourself to a standard that's not unrealistic, and I haven't reached that standard this year."

Rodgers returned this year after missing all but four plays of his first season in New York in 2023, when he tore his left Achilles tendon in the season opener.

His comeback season hasn't gone according to plan, though. Rodgers ranks 23rd in the NFL in passer rating at 86.8. He has completed 62.4 percent of his passes for 2,258 yards and 15 touchdowns with seven interceptions -- with his completion percentage, yards per completion and touchdown rate ranking among the lowest of his 20-year career.

The Jets, who entered the season with high expectations, own a 3-7 record.

Commenting on whether the team's struggles are impacting his view on his future, Rodgers said, "Not really, not for the negative. Not really, no."

Rodgers is under contract for next season with a $2.5 million base salary plus a $35 million option bonus.

Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 11

Player Notes
Mike Edwards Nov 13 11:40pm CT
Mike Edwards

The Tennessee Titans have released safety Mike Edwards, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's official website. Edwards signed with the Titans just one week ago after being granted his release by the Buffalo Bills. While Edwards sought a fresh opportunity elsewhere, his stint in Tennessee proved to be quite short-lived. He was inactive during his only game as a Titan last weekend, and prior to that, he had only played seven snaps for the Bills in 2024. Edwards will now hit free agency for the second time this month.

Harrison Bryant

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Harrison Bryant (ankle) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Bryant has filled a depth role in Las Vegas season, catching just nine passes for 86 yards through eight games. Although the 26-year-old has been serving as the backup to Brock Bowers recently, he'll drop down to No. 3 on the depth chart with the imminent return of Michael Mayer (personal). Between ranking third on the depth chart and battling a significant ankle issue, Bryant can be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

Austin Ekeler Nov 13 9:10pm CT
Austin Ekeler

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler is expected to revert to the No.2 spot on the depth chart on Thursday evening but is still a viable flex option in PPR formats, facing the Philadelphia Eagles. Over the past two weeks, Ekeler has operated as the lead option out of the backfield in Washington. During this small stint, he scored three times, averaging 17.7 PPR points per game. However, with Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) slated to return, fantasy managers should expect Ekeler to return to his third-down role. During Weeks 1 through 8, Ekeler eclipsed double-digit PPR points in five straight games and caught at least two passes in each contest. With a high implied point total (48.5), fantasy managers could expect this game to open up, which could set the 29-year-old up for several pass-catching opportunities, making him a flex option in PPR formats.

Terry McLaurin Nov 13 9:10pm CT
Terry McLaurin

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be poised for another productive showing on Thursday evening against the Philadelphia Eagles. Since Week 3, McLaurin has been one of the top wideouts in fantasy as he has averaged 17.8 PPR points per game during this span while scoring six total touchdowns. In addition, he has seen 6.8 targets per game in the stretch, with 84.0 yards per game. Last weekend, McLaurin tallied over 100+ scrimmage yards for the fourth time this season. Even though he will face a tough Philadelphia secondary that has allowed the 12th-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts, this game should open up given how explosive both offenses can be, which sets up McLaurin well for another strong outing.

Noah Brown Nov 13 9:10pm CT
Noah Brown

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown should be viewed as a risky flex option in Week 11 facing the Philadelphia Eagles. After enjoying two solid showings in Weeks 8 and 9, Brown took a step back last weekend as he tallied only 33 yards and 6.3 PPR points against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite the poor output, Brown has continued to see consistent looks from rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Since Week 6, Brown has seen at least six targets in all but one game and a high of eight. While both the Eagles and Commanders could light up the scoresheet on Thursday, Brown still carries some inherent risk as he has fallen below double-digit PPR points in three of his past five games making him a flex option with risk.

Josh Oliver Nov 13 9:10pm CT
Josh Oliver

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver (hand, wrist) was officially listed as limited in the team's first practice of Week 11. The 27-year-old has dealt with a wrist issue for weeks at this point, but it hasn't forced him to miss any in-game action. However, the hand designation is news as it had not been previously mentioned on the team's injury report. That he could practice in a limited fashion is likely good news for his status this Sunday when the team squares off against the Tennessee Titans. Still, he'll have two more opportunities to elevate his participation before the road tilt. Oliver was used a decent amount in Week 10's 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars (4/52 on six targets) despite teammate T.J. Hockenson's increased involvement in the offense (8/72 on nine targets). If he can't play this coming Sunday, TE Johnny Mundt figures to pick up more snaps when the team travels to Nashville.

Zach Ertz Nov 13 9:10pm CT
Zach Ertz

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz should be viewed as a low-end TE1 heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles. Last weekend, the veteran tight end saw a team-high in targets, which was an excellent bounce-back showing for him as he saw just one in Week 9. Since Week 6, Ertz has scored double-digit PPR points in three games and caught at least four passes in all but one. With Washington lacking a proven No.2 wideout, Ertz has seen consistent targets throughout the season. Even though he is facing a tough Eagles defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends this season, Ertz should still see a solid workload, making him a low-end starting option in PPR formats.

Zane Gonzalez Nov 13 9:10pm CT
Zane Gonzalez

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest, which will likely result in Zane Gonzalez getting the call from the practice squad. Gonzalez also served as the starting option last weekend and hit both of his attempts and all three of his extra points. With how impressive the Washington offense has looked this season, Gonzalez should be given ample scoring opportunities on Thursday. However, given his career 80.9% FG%, he does carry some inherent risk playing on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy managers looking to stream a kicker should look elsewhere this week for a more stable contributor.

Van Jefferson Nov 13 9:00pm CT
Van Jefferson

Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson (quad) was officially a non-participant for the team's first practice ahead of Week 11. The fifth-year wideout is a new addition to the injury report, as he seemingly picked up a quad ailment sometime between Sunday's victory over the Washington Commanders and Wednesday. Jefferson may have sustained the injury during the win. However, it did not seem to hamper him as he operated in his typical capacity as Pittsburgh's WR2 despite not recording a reception. The severity of the injury is unknown, but head coach Mike Tomlin did not comment on the 28-year-old, suggesting it might not be that big a deal. If the former Florida Gator can't suit up for this weekend's divisional clash against the Baltimore Ravens, it would open the door for newly acquired wideout Mike Williams to see an uptick in usage.

Jayden Daniels Nov 13 9:00pm CT
Jayden Daniels

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be poised to bounce back on Thursday evening against the Philadelphia Eagles. Last weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Daniels scored a season-low 10.6 PPR points and tallied just 202 passing yards with no scores. However, in his previous two games, the LSU product averaged 23.8 PPR points in each contest, with 267.5 passing yards and 43.5 rushing yards in each game. Even though the Eagles have surrendered the fourth-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs, given the hefty 48.5-point total, the Commanders may need to force the ball downfield to keep up with a potent Philadelphia offense setting up Daniels for a productive showing.

Brian Robinson Jr. Nov 13 9:00pm CT
Brian Robinson Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation and is expected to return to the field on Thursday evening to face the Philadelphia Eagles. Robinson has missed the past two weeks with a hamstring injury and ceded No.1 duties to Austin Ekeler. Before his injury, Robinson enjoyed a solid start to the campaign as he tallied six touchdowns in seven contests, averaging 14.1 PPR points per game. Robinson has consistently seen the goal line work all season, putting him high-scoring chances weekly. Even though he is facing a tough Eagles defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs, Robinson should see a heavy workload and prime scoring opportunities.

Eric Stokes

Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (knee) was listed as a limited participant in the team's first practice of the week, as reported by Bill Huber of SI.com. The former first-round pick sat out of the team's 24-14 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 9 after a week's worth of DNPs. However, it appears he's made progress after the Packers' Week 10 bye, at least able to log a limited session ahead of Green Bay's road tilt against the Chicago Bears. It's a good sign for his status this Sunday. If Alexander is forced to miss more time, fellow defensive backs Eric Stokes and Carrington Valentine will continue to see an uptick in snaps. Keep an eye on his status moving forward, as his practice participation over the next few days should give us a better idea of his health.

Josh Reynolds

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reported the news. The 29-year-old wideout was on the shelf for the last month when the Broncos placed him on injured reserve due to a broken finger. Reynolds was also the victim of a shooting not six days later. However, the Texas A&M product was able to log a full session in the team's first practice ahead of Week 11, suggesting that his return could come sooner rather than later. When Reynolds is activated, one of his fellow wideouts, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Troy Franklin, and Devaughn Vele, will see their playing time cut; though, who that will be remains to be seen.

Seattle Seahawks TE Brady Russell (foot), DE Leonard Williams (foot) and C Connor Williams (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13. OT Abraham Lucas (knee) and LB Boye Mafe (knee) were limited during practice. LB Dre'Mont Jones (shoulder) fully participated in practice.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Kittle will be available for the Week 11 game. He has caught a touchdown in six of his last seven games and will continue to see a good amount of targets each game. He is a weekly starting option in all leagues.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 13.

Fantasy Spin: McCaffrey made his season debut last and finished with 107 total yards. He will continue to be involved in both the running and passing games for the 49ers and should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Noah Fant Nov 13 6:40pm CT
Noah Fant

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday in the first practice of the week coming out of the bye. Fant suffered a groin injury in the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills and did not play in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. The 26-year-old most likely would have sat out in Week 10 if the team wasn't on bye, and the fact that he's still not practicing is a bad sign for his availability in this Sunday's divisional contest versus the San Francisco 49ers. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting Fant to suit up in Week 11. With Fant sidelined in Week 9, tight end AJ Barner had a bigger role on offense and finished with four catches on seven targets for 27 yards. Barner will once again see more snaps if Fant is inactive, but fantasy managers should consider him a highly volatile TE2.

Tank Bigsby Nov 13 6:32pm CT
Tank Bigsby

After injuring his ankle in the Week 10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. In addition, fellow back D'Ernest Johnson (hamstring) was limited. After re-entering the game on Sunday, Bigsby only saw two offensive snaps the rest of the way and could be in danger of sitting out this Sunday versus the Detroit Lions. The 23-year-old second year back has been more efficient than backfield mate Travis Etienne Jr. this year, averaging 5.5 yards per carry while putting up 519 rushing yards and four TDs in 10 games. However, his injury is now a concern this week and the fantasy upside of all of Jacksonville's offensive weapons will take a pretty big hit as long as quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is out. Bigsby is currently lining up as a shaky RB3/flex this week for fantasy managers.
