Aaron Rodgers Fantasy

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the league in deep passing yards with 1,219 last season, also recording the second-most deep pass attempts of any qualifying quarterback in the NFL with 74. The veteran signal-caller won the MVP in 2020 and continued to excel with wide receiver Davante Adams, who was one of the top-10 pass-catchers last year. Rodgers led the league with 14 completions, 557 yards and six touchdowns on deep passes to slot receivers. The 37-year-old hasn't slowed down with his performance on the field, but there's concern that he will either retire or force a trade out of Green Bay because of his unhappiness with the front office. If Rodgers is playing elsewhere in 2021, it will make him a much more risky high-end QB1 for fantasy purposes.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was not among the group of players that reported on Monday for the start of organized team activities. Rodgers has been a regular participant in the team's offseason program and OTAs throughout his career, until now. It doesn't come as a surprise, though, as he's reportedly not happy with the direction of the franchise. There remains a divide between Rodgers and the organization a year after he won the MVP. The 37-year-old said he wants to be traded this offseason, but it remains to be seen if the two sides can reconcile. The Denver Broncos were mentioned as a possible landing spot for Rodgers during the NFL draft last month, but nothing is close on the trade front. If Rodgers were to get his wish and be traded, it would obviously be really bad news for the fantasy value of Green Bay's skill players, most notably wide receiver Davante Adams.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur reiterated that the team wants quarterback Aaron Rodgers to return in 2021 and beyond. "We still obviously feel the same way. We want him back in the worst way. I know he knows that. We'll continue to work at it each and every day," LaFleur said. It was reported on draft day last month that Rodgers wanted out of Green Bay, and rumors have been swirling ever since. Green Bay has no plans to trade Rodgers, and several of his ex-teammates believe the situation is fixable. The Packers are apparently pleased with Jordan Love's development despite the fact that he didn't play at all in his rookie year after being a first-round pick. Rodgers, last year's MVP, continues to play at a high level despite nearing the end of his career. Wherever he's playing in 2021, he'll be a highly coveted high-end QB1, that's to be sure.
