New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers put together one of his best games of the season in a Week 15 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, throwing for 289 yards and three touchdowns. Rodgers will look to keep it going in a Week 16 home matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have been a plus matchup for quarterbacks this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the position. Rodgers has been playing his best football of the season of late with three multi-touchdown games over his past four contests. Fantasy managers can treat him as a mid-range QB2 heading into Week 16.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is getting healthier down the stretch, which has coincided with two of his best performances of the season the last two weeks against the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars. Rodgers has gone 43-for-69 the last two games with 628 passing yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. "He struggled with injury for a good part of the season, and, as he's starting to get healthier, you're starting to see Aaron Rodgers -- the real Aaron Rodgers," interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said. The future Hall of Famer even rushed for a team-high 45 yards against the Jags, the most by any player in his 40s since Doug Flutie in 2003. Rodgers battled ankle, hamstring and knee issues earlier this year but is as healthy as he's been all year right now. He'll have another decent matchup against the Rams in Week 16, but his recent strong play doesn't suddenly make him a QB1.
Aaron Rodgers Throws Three Scores, Eclipses 300 Total Yards In Victory
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers went 16-for-30 with 289 yards and three passing scores during their victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rodgers added a season-high 45 rushing yards on six carries. Rodgers tallied his first score of the afternoon on a 22-yard TD pass to Garrett Wilson in the opening frame. Then, in the third, Rodgers found Davante Adams on a one-yard strike and would eventually find him a second time in the fourth quarter, this time on a 71-yard pass. After failing to total over 300 all-purpose yards during the first 12 games of the season, the 41-year-old has now accomplished that feat in two straight games. While he has had a disappointing season, Rodgers has begun to turn the corner during the final stretch. He could be a viable low-end QB1 next weekend, facing the Los Angeles Rams, who have allowed the ninth-most PPR points to opposing quarterbacks.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for a season-high 339 yards in a Week 14 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He will look to stay hot in a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Jaguars have been an excellent matchup for quarterbacks this season as they are allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Rodgers' play for the majority of the season has not inspired much confidence from a fantasy perspective as he has thrown for more than 300 yards only once and for three touchdowns once. Rodgers settles in as a low-end QB2 in fantasy heading into Week 15.
Aaron Rodgers Has Played With Hamstring, Knee, Ankle Injuries This Year
According to FOX Sports' Jay Glazer, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle, hamstring, knee) has dealt with a lot more injuries than people know this season, although he's currently considered the healthiest he's been all year since Week 2. Rodgers has dealt with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, an MCL sprain and a high-ankle sprain in 2024, and the fact that he's battled through those injuries at his age has raised his standing with his teammates. Of course, the 41-year-old missed all of last year with an Achilles tear suffered on the first offensive series in Week 1. The future Hall of Famer isn't 100% and has only led the Jets to three wins all season. He's unlikely to be back in New York next season and has had a low fantasy ceiling as a QB2 while averaging 18 fantasy points a game, which is tied with Derek Carr for 25th among all QBs.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 27 of his 39 passes for 339 yards and one touchdown in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Rodgers threw for a season-high in yards but he was unable to manage more than one touchdown pass in the close loss to Miami. His lone touchdown pass was a three-yard completion to Davante Adams in the third quarter, the pair's 79th touchdown across the regular and postseason. Rodgers now has 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions on the season. He will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 15.
Aaron Rodgers Draws Tough Matchup Vs. Dolphins In Week 14
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for just 185 yards but managed two touchdown passes in a Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He will look to bounce back on the road against the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. The Dolphins have been tough on opposing quarterbacks this season as they are allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position on the year. Rodgers' poor play of late has some calling for the Jets to bench him, but interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich went on record at the beginning of the week saying the veteran gives the team their best chance to win. That being said, Rodgers can't be trusted from a fantasy perspective and should be treated as a low-end QB2 heading into Week 14.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been rumored to potentially be placed on Injured Reserve or sit out late-season games as the team's season has fallen apart, but the 41-year-old is aiming to put those rumors to rest. On his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers said his goal after suffering an Achilles tear in Week 1 of last season is to play all 17 games in 2024. He wants to "finish the season the right way." The four-time MVP has completed 62.5% of his passes for 2,627 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions this year. His play hasn't been horrible, but it hasn't been what we've come to expect from the future Hall of Famer. The veteran still has fantasy value in Superflex/two-QB leagues, and it sounds as if he'll be available during the fantasy football playoffs.
New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said he still thinks veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers gives the team the best chance to win, and the organization will stick with him as the starter for a Week 14 contest in Miami against the division-rival Dolphins this Sunday. "We have great belief in Aaron and we think he gives us the best opportunity to win," Ulbrich said. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer came up short yet again in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13, dropping the Jets to 3-9 on the year. Through 12 games in his second year in New York, Rodgers ranks as the QB19 with 2,627 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions on 419 pass attempts. He's sporting a career-low 6.3 yards per attempt, and things haven't gotten much better for the Jets' offense since acquiring receiver Davante Adams. Rodgers will be a QB2 once again against Miami in Week 14.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 185 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception off 21-for-39 passing in Sunday's five-point loss to the Seahawks. He had one of his better showings of the 2024-25 campaign in the loss to the Colts ahead of the team's bye. Unfortunately, the veteran couldn't keep things going versus Seattle, with the Seahawks defense only allowing the signal-caller to complete just 53.9% of his attempts. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich stated entering the contest that the team has no plans of shutting down Rodgers. However, while speaking to the media after Sunday's loss, Ulbrich didn't rule out a potential quarterback change moving ahead. Either way, the clock is ticking, so his time under center (and possibly in New York) could be ending soon if the Jets don't show signs of life in the AFC East clash with the Miami Dolphins in Week 14.
