Aaron Rodgers Fantasy

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (back) returned to practice on Monday after being scratched as a precaution before the preseason game last Thursday against the Ravens due to back tightness. However, it's still uncertain if Rodgers will play in the preseason game Thursday against the Raiders in Canada. Head coach Matt LaFleur said Rodgers "looked pretty good today to me" on Monday. Even though he's learning a new offensive scheme, it's not necessary that Rodgers play in the remaining preseason games. There's obvious rebound potential for Rodgers and Green Bay's offense in 2019 under LaFleur. He's a top-five fantasy signal-caller.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is being considered day-by-day by head coach Matt LaFleur. LaFleur commented that if it were the regular season that he would be out on the field and that he hoped the tightness won't follow him into the regular season. Rodgers is yet to be put into a game situation in the new offense, but given the quarterbacks, talent level missing some game time may not be the end of the world. However, fantasy owners should consider his injury in their drafts and draft with the thought of injury risk.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that it's not necessary that quarterback Aaron Rodgers play in the preseason. The veteran quarterback was scheduled to get some action in on Thursday against the Ravens, but the team decided to err on the side of caution and hold Rodgers out due to a tight back. "I think we'd like to see him, but you're talking about a veteran quarterback that's played a lot of football," LaFleur said following the Packers' 26-13 defeat to the Ravens. "I don't think it's a necessity, but it's certainly something that we'd like to see." Rodgers has played in just six preseason games in the last four years. With a new offense and some talent at the receiver position to work with, Rodgers could bounce back in 2019. He's RotoBaller's No. 3 fantasy QB.
