Aaron Rodgers Fantasy

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said "there's no doubt about it" that quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be back with the team in 2021. "You're talking about the guy who's going to win the MVP of the league. We're not in this position without him," LaFleur said. The head coach also said he thinks Rodgers will be a Packer "for a long time." General manager Brian Gutekunst also echoed those sentiments about Rodgers. The presence of Jordan Love, who the Packers traded up to take in the first round of last year's draft, will continue to raise questions about the 37-year-old's future. The expected MVP of the 2020 season will be back in 2021, but 2022 might be a different story, especially if Rodgers doesn't play as well next season. But after the incredible year he had this past year, fantasy managers will be much more willing to pull the trigger on him as an unquestioned QB1.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was uncertain about his future with the team after the NFC Championship loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday, but chief executive officer Mark Murphy said the team won't let him go. "There's no way in heck Aaron is not gonna be on the Packers," Murphy said. "He's going to be the MVP of the league, might have had his best year ever, he's our unquestioned leader, and we're not idiots." Rodgers is 37 years old and has three years left on his deal after the Packers drafted his expected successor, Jordan Love, in the first round last year. Green Bay won't take on a huge dead salary cap number in 2021, but they could go in another direction in 2022 when his number drops to $17.2 million. After his MVP season, Rodgers isn't going anywhere just yet and will be more expensive in 2021 fantasy drafts as a QB1 than he was heading into the 2020 season.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was uncertain about his future after the team's 31-26 loss to the Buccaneers in the NFC Championship on Sunday. The 37-year-old is expected to win the MVP this year and is under contract through the 2023 season via the $134 million extension he signed in 2018. But the Packers also drafted Jordan Love, Rodgers' possible replacement, in the first round last year. Rodgers threw 48 touchdowns and only five interceptions in the regular season in 2020, but he also became the first QB in NFL history to lose four straight appearances in a conference championship. If Green Bay were to move on from Rodgers this offseason, they'd save just $4.76 million on the salary cap and would have $31.556 million in dead money. Rodgers may be contemplating retirement, but the Packers want him back and he'd be a high-end QB1 if he does return after going 33-for-48 for 346 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the loss to Tampa to end the season.
