Aaron Rodgers Fantasy

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) had a planned off day in his rehab on Wednesday but returned to a limited practice on Thursday. The fact that Rodgers is even practicing at all after tearing his Achilles in Week 1 is amazing in itself. With that said, the 40-year-old still isn't close to game action and isn't going to attempt a miraculous comeback in 2023 unless the Jets somehow start winning games to get into the postseason picture in the AFC. For fantasy purposes, it's even more of a long shot that Rodgers will make an impact this year. In a best-case scenario, Rodgers was hoping to potentially return in Week 16 on Christmas Eve against the Washington Commanders.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) will not take part in practice on Wednesday. It's another planned day of rest for Rodgers, who could potentially still return in 2023 after tearing his Achilles in the season opener. However, if the Jets continue losing, it's unlikely we'll see the 40-year-old take the field late in the season, even if he's physically able to do so. The Jets are going back to former first-round QB Zach Wilson as their starter in Week 14 against the Houston Texans after he was benched the last two games in favor of Tim Boyle. Expect Rodgers to return to limited practice participation later this week, but those holding out hope that he'll return this year are probably going to be disappointed.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is unlikely to return this season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "If the Jets are eliminated from the playoff picture, Rodgers is not expected to play," writes Rapoport. Given that the Jets are 4-7 and Rodgers , who recently returned to practice, wasn't planning to play again until Week 16 at the earliest, there's a very strong chance that the team is eliminated by then. Since there's no reason to rush Rodgers back for meaningless games, it looks like we could see a combination of Tim Boyle, Trevor Siemian, and Zach Wilson at quarterback for the Jets over the final six games. All three of them lack fantasy appeal and could have trouble supporting fantasy-relevant production from players like Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall.
