Aaron Rodgers Practicing In Full Tuesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. Rodgers fractured his left pinkie toe in mid-November, but he was practicing in full during last week's playoff bye and said his toe won't be an issue during the postseason. To be completely honest, his toe really has never been much of an issue for the future Hall of Famer, at least performance-wise, as he went 170-for-236 for 1,929 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and no interceptions in the final seven games of the regular season. He also ran the ball 13 times for 46 yards and one touchdown. Rodgers is the third-most expensive QB at DraftKings ($7,100) for the Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers. He went 23-for-33 for 261 yards, two TDs and no picks against them in a two-point win back in Week 3.

Aaron Rodgers Practicing On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) took part in practice on Wednesday, which was his first Wednesday practice in two months. Rodgers didn't have any ill-effects with his fractured pinkie toe after playing in the first half of the Week 18 regular season finale against the Detroit Lions. It was a bit of a surprise that Rodgers played as much as he did in a meaningless game to close out the regular season. Green Bay is the NFC's No. 1 seed for the playoffs and has a first-round bye during the wild-card round. The 38-year-old MVP front-runner finished off the regular season on fire, going 170-for-236 for 1,929 yards, 20 touchdowns and no interceptions in his final seven games. Regardless of who the Packers match up with next week, Rodgers is likely to be one of the most expensive DFS signal-callers to choose from.

Packers Could Have Fully Healthy Offensive Line For Playoffs

Green Bay Packers right tackle Bully Turner (knee) returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time in a month. This is just a week after the Packers welcomed back starting left tackle David Bakhtiari, meaning that the Packers could have their starting offensive line fully healthy for the first time in over half the season when they play next week in the NFC Divisional Round. Obviously, much of the fantasy implications will depend on who the Packers play; however, this is great news for Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, as well as the Green Bay receivers since Aaron Rodgers could get even more time in the pocket. The Packers have had a tremendous season and getting fully healthy for the playoffs makes them even more of a strong bet to advance.

Aaron Rodgers Plays Well In Limited Action In Week 18

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made an appearance in Week 18, despite his team having a firm grasp on its postseason destiny. The veteran played only one half, racking up 138 yards and throwing two touchdowns off 14-for-18 passing. He also had a carry for seven yards. Rodgers was already the favorite to claim this year's MVP award entering this one. However, he may have sealed the deal with his solid showing versus the Lions.

Packers Plan To Start Aaron Rodgers Against Lions

The Green Bay Packers are planning on starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, and head coach Matt LaFleur will see how the game goes. "I don't think he needs to play. I think he wants to play and keep the momentum going," LaFleur said. The Packers have already locked up the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs, so they don't have anything left to play for, except to keep their momentum going. The 38-year-old MVP front-runner has also been dealing with a fractured pinkie toe since mid-November, although it hasn't negatively affected his performance at all. Even though Rodgers and the rest of the starters seem likely to start in Week 18, we'd be shocked if they played an entire game, making all of the Packers offensive skill players extremely risky in starting lineups with fantasy championships on the line.

Aaron Rodgers Getting Some Work In Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) is getting some practice work in on Thursday, which has been a rare occurrence for him since suffering a fractured pinkie toe. Rodgers hasn't been practicing at all in recent weeks, but he hasn't missed any games and hasn't seen his play suffer at all, so it looks like his injured pinkie toe might be improving. There have been reports that Rodgers wants to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Detroit Lions, but it seems highly unlikely that he'd play any more than a series or two, if at all, with the Packers having already locked up a first-round bye and the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the playoffs. The 38-year-old is the front-runner for another MVP award this year. Rodgers has gone 352-for-513 (68.6 completion percentage) for 3,977 yards, 35 touchdowns and only four interceptions in 15 games.

Packers Plan To Play Their Starters In Week 18

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday that he plans for his guys to play in Week 18 against the Detroit Lions. "Right now the mindset is we're going to play our guys, and we're going to approach it like any other game," LaFleur said. Don't take LaFleur's word for it. The Packers already have the No. 1 seed in the NFL and a first-round bye locked up, so they literally have nothing to play for this Sunday. On top of it, quarterback Aaron Rodgers could use a couple extra weeks to rest his fractured pinkie toe before the postseason. If Green Bay's starters do play, it'll likely only be for a series or two early in the game against the Lions. It'll be extremely risky to play any Packers starters in fantasy if you're still playing for a championship.

Aaron Rodgers: Another Strong Outing In Win Over Vikings

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) completed 29-of-38 pass attempts for 288 yards and two touchdowns while rushing two times for eight more yards in Sunday's 37-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He threw a 20-yard touchdown strike to Allen Lazard to give the Packers a 13-0 lead. The future Hall of Famer later his star wide receiver for an 11-yard score with a minute remaining in the first half. Rodgers has been on an incredible run, throwing for 18 touchdowns and no interceptions over his last six games. Green Bay has nothing to play for and could rest Rodgers against the Detroit Lions in Week 18. If active, Rodgers is a must-start against a woeful Lions defense for the regular-season finale.

Aaron Rodgers - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The 38-year-old has been on absolute fire over his last five games, throwing for 1,503 yards with a 16:0 TD: INT ratio during that span. He shredded Minnesota for 385 yards and four touchdowns in his previous game against them in Week 11. Rodgers is a surefire QB1 against a Vikings defense that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season.

Aaron Rodgers Has Yet To Practice This Week

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) hasn't practiced this week, but he should be just fine to suit up on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. Rodgers hasn't been practicing much since suffering a broken pinkie toe, but he's played through the injury the last five games and has 16 touchdowns and no interceptions in that span while clearing 300 yards passing in three of those five contests. He went off for 385 yards and four touchdowns to start the streak against the Vikings in their first meeting in Week 11, so Rodgers is a must-start, top-five fantasy QB1 for fantasy championship matchups. Rodgers is also getting receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling back from the COVID-19 list.

Aaron Rodgers Hasn't Ruled Out Retirement After This Year

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers isn't ruling out retirement after this season. "I'm just enjoying this season for this season, and playing next year will definitely be in the thought process," Rodgers said. It's possible that Rodgers could hang up his cleats and walk off into the sunset if he wins his second Super Bowl title this year, and it's important to him that he's still playing at a high level when he heads out. The 38-year-old is an MVP front-runner again in 2021 despite playing much of the season on a broken pinkie toe on his foot. He's showing no signs of slowing down and could torch the Minnesota Vikings defense again on Sunday night in Week 17. The last time he faced them in Week 11, he went for a season-high 385 passing yards and four touchdowns.

Aaron Rodgers Breaks Packers Touchdown Record

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 24-of-34 passes for 202 yards and three touchdowns while losing a yard on one rushing attempt in Saturday's 24-22 win over the Cleveland Browns. In the first quarter, he connected with wide receiver Allen Lazard for his 443rd career touchdown pass, breaking Brett Favre's franchise record. The future Hall of Famer threw three touchdown passes overall and has thrown multiple TD passes in four straight games. Rodgers has thrown an incredible 16 touchdowns and no interceptions over his last five games. The 38-year-old is a surefire QB1 and will look to continue his remarkable run against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17.

Aaron Rodgers Taken Off The Injury Report

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) missed practice all week for the second straight week but won't carry an injury designation into the Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Rodgers is managing a broken pinkie toe on his foot, but he will continue to play through the issue before possibly having offseason surgery. The Browns defense will be missing safety John Johnson and could be without star pass-rusher Myles Garrett (groin) on Christmas Day, so this could be another smash spot for Rodgers, who has 13 touchdowns and no interceptions in his last four games while playing on his broken toe. Leave him locked into all starting fantasy lineups.

No Practice For Aaron Rodgers Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) missed the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. He was listed as DNP on Tuesday's estimated practice report. The future Hall of Famer didn't practice at all last week before dicing up the Baltimore Ravens banged-up secondary for three touchdowns in the Week 15 win. Rodgers is managing a broken pinkie toe on his foot and may not practice again for the rest of the season, but he's so good that he doesn't need practice at this point in his career. In his last four games, he's thrown for 13 touchdowns and no interceptions while going over 300 yards passing in three of those games. Rodgers is a locked-in QB1 for Christmas Day against the Cleveland Browns.

Aaron Rodgers Listed As A DNP Tuesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) was listed as a DNP at Tuesday's practice. Rodgers hasn't been practicing the first two days of the week while managing a fractured pinkie toe, so this shouldn't come as a big surprise. Last week, he didn't practice at all before being active on Sunday and going 23-for-31 for 268 yards and three touchdowns in the victory over the Baltimore Ravens. It was the first time that Rodgers failed to go over 300 yards passing since Week 10. The broken toe continues to bother him, but the future Hall of Famer hasn't really shown it on the field, throwing for 13 touchdowns and no interceptions over the last four games. Rodgers will remain a strong QB1 option in fantasy on Christmas Day against a Cleveland Browns defense that has been decimated by injuries and COVID-19.

Aaron Rodgers Not On The Final Injury Report

Despite missing practice all week as he manages a broken pinkie toe, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) wasn't given an injury designation on the final injury report for Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens. The 38-year-old future Hall of Famer doesn't need to practice to have success on Sundays at this point in his career, and he'll be facing a banged-up Ravens secondary that has allowed the second-most passing yards per game (266.1) this year. Even on a broken toe, Rodgers has balled out and gone over 300 yards passing with 10 touchdowns and no interceptions in the last three games. Don't think about it, just keep Rodgers in your starting lineups as a strong QB1.

Aaron Rodgers Continues To Miss Practice

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. Rodgers suffered a setback with his fractured pinkie toe in the Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears, but surgery is not in the cards and he plans to continue playing through it. Despite playing through the fractured toe, most observers wouldn't be able to tell any difference in Rodgers' play of late. The 38-year-old future Hall of Famer has been lighting it up and has gone over 300 yards passing in each of the last three games while tossing 10 touchdowns and no interceptions. Against a Baltimore Ravens defense this Sunday that is surrendering the second-most passing yards per game (266.1), Rodgers will be a strong midrange QB1 option for his fantasy managers.

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Practice On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) was not present at practice on Wednesday. Obviously, it's still very early in the week, so we don't want to jump to conclusions, but it is worth noting since Rodgers mentioned that he had a setback with his toe and the idea of surgery was floated in the media again. We should still expect Rodgers to play this weekend, and will have a better sense of how likely that is after Thursday and Friday's practices, but it might not be a bad idea for fantasy managers with Rodgers to add another quarterback to their roster just in case.

Aaron Rodgers Will Continue Playing Through Toe Injury

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) said on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday that his broken pinkie toe "is not going to be a problem." Rodgers said his toe will be about pain management and "I'm not going to practice a lot." The 38-year-old future Hall of Famer had a setback with his toe in the Sunday night win over the Chicago Bears, but surgery isn't on the table right now and he will continue to play in Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens. Despite playing with the broken toe, Rodgers continues to play well, throwing for over 300 yards in three consecutive games while racking up 10 touchdowns and no interceptions in that span. He went for 341 yards and four touchdowns to continue his ownership of Chicago in Week 14. Rodgers will be a high-end QB1 against Baltimore this weekend.

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Carry An Injury Designation For Week 14

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. He continues to manage a broken left pinkie toe, but the injury hasn't prevented him from suiting up. The 38-year-old shredded the Bears' defense and threw three touchdowns in the Week 6 win against Chicago. Rodgers has been terrific this season, throwing for 2,878 yards with a 23:4 TD: INT ratio over 11 games in 2021. The Bears defense allows 207.8 passing yards per game but don't seem to have an answer in stopping Rodgers and the Packers' offense. The future Hall of Famer is a surefire QB1 and top-five option in Week 14.

Aaron Rodgers Misses Another Practice

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday coming off the Week 13 bye. Rodgers had a week to rest, but he continues to manage a broken left pinkie toe. Despite the injury, the 38-year-old has racked up 984 yards (two 300-yard games), six touchdowns and one interception in the last three games while adding a rushing score. The Packers didn't need to throw the ball much in their Week 6 win over the Bears, but it doesn't mean that Rodgers won't have a solid game in the rematch on Sunday night at home. Chicago's defense has allowed just 207.8 passing yards per game, but Rodgers should continue to be started in fantasy as a solid midrange QB1.

Aaron Rodgers Misses First Practice Following Bye

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) missed the team's first practice on Wednesday coming off the bye week. Rodgers got to rest his fractured toe last week, but it's still going to be something that he has to manage for the remainder of the season. The 38-year-old future Hall of Famer should be fully expected to suit up in a big divisional tilt against the Chicago Bears in prime time on Sunday night. Rodgers typically owns the Bears (he said it himself). He threw for only 195 yards against them in the Week 6 win, but he also carried the football a season-high seven times for 19 yards and another touchdown. Rodgers will be a strong QB1 this weekend after getting some rest last week.

Aaron Rodgers- Injured Toe "Improving" After Bye Week

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) made an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show Tuesday and said his injured toe is "improving." "There was no mindset change. The biggest key is rest. I wish there were another one of these (bye) weeks so I could get 14-21 great days without doing anything, but the toe is improving." Rodgers opted to rest his injured toe instead of undergoing surgery during the bye week. The 38-year-old will be less than 100 percent but is expected to suit up in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. The future Hall of Famer threw three touchdowns the last time he faced Chicago in Week 6. Rodgers historically has shredded the Bears and is a must-start this week in Week 14.

Aaron Rodgers Won't Undergo Toe Surgery

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) won't undergo surgery on his ailing toe this week. The 38-year-old confirmed on the Pat McAfee show Tuesday that he hopes it heals enough on its own during the bye week to suit up for Week 14 against the Chicago Bears. Rodgers has been terrific this season, throwing for 2,878 yards and a 23:4 TD: INT ratio while rushing for 76 yards and three scores over 11 games. Fantasy managers will have the future Hall of Famer available for Week 14 and is a QB1 against the Bears. Rodgers racked up three touchdowns the last time he faced Chicago in Week 6.

Aaron Rodgers Could Have Surgery And Not Miss Any Action

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) would like to avoid surgery on his broken pinky toe that he suffered during his stint on the COVID-19 list, but the reigning MVP said that he wouldn't miss any game action if he were to ultimately end up getting surgery done. Rodgers mentioned he could get the procedure done on Monday or Tuesday and would be ready to go for the game that same week. The Packers take on the Bears on Monday night in Week 14, so Rodgers is expected to be available once again when the team suits up next. As of now, this doesn't seem like a cause for concern, so fantasy managers can continue to roll out the future Hall of Famer as a solid QB1 option.

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Plan On Having Surgery At This Time

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) doesn't plan to have surgery on his broken left pinkie toe at this time. The hope is that Rodgers' heal will heal and improve after the team's Week 13 bye. The 37-year-old should be fine for the Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears, but he was noticeably limping at times during the Week 12 win over the Los Angeles Rams. But based on his numbers alone in the last two games -- 51-for-78, 692 yards, six touchdowns, no interceptions and a rushing TD -- Rodgers has been just fine. The future Hall of Famer will likely be limited in practices this rest of the way, but unless the injury worsens once he returns, fantasy managers should continue to feel comfortable using him as a midrange QB1.

Aaron Rodgers Will Undergo Tests On Broken Toe

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) will undergo tests on Monday for his broken toe. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, surgery is a "very real option," but he shouldn't miss time regardless. Despite playing through a broken toe, the 38-year-old carved up the Rams' defense with 307 yards passing, two touchdowns, and a rushing score in Sunday's win. The Packers' bye comes at a perfect time for Rodgers, who will have an extra week to recover from his ailing toe. Rodgers will be a QB1 against the Chicago Bears in Week 14. The Packers star QB racked up three touchdowns the last time he faced the Bears in Week 6.

Aaron Rodgers Will Play In Week 12

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) will play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12 despite not practicing at all this week. Rodgers is dealing with a fractured pinkie toe and is just trying to get to the team's Week 13 bye to rest up. The 37-year-old signal-caller wasn't really hampered by his injured toe in the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, throwing for a season-high 385 yards and four touchdowns while also rushing for a season-high 21 yards on two attempts. The Rams defense will be much tougher to throw on this weekend, but they also haven't been the elite unit that they were in 2020. Despite the broken toe, Rodgers remains firmly in the QB1 mix, especially if he gets running back Aaron Jones (knee) back.

Aaron Rodgers Dealing With Broken Toe

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) said on Wednesday that he's dealing with a broken pinkie toe. Head coach Matt LaFleur said Rodgers' practice plan will be similar to last week when he only practiced on Friday on a limited basis. Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee show on Tuesday that his injury was worse than turf toe, and now we know why. He's just hoping to get through the Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams so that he can rest up during the team's Week 13 bye. Rodgers' broken toe didn't really slow him down in the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, as he threw for a season-high 385 yards with four touchdowns and also had a season-high 21 rushing yards. The Rams will present a tougher challenge on defense, but Rodgers remains a solid midrange QB1 for fantasy managers.

Aaron Rodgers Expands On Toe Injury

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) said on the Pat McAfee Show that the injury that he's dealing with is to his pinkie toe and that it's worse than turf toe. "I have a toe injury that's not going away, and I'm going to be dealing with it for at least the next few weeks," Rodgers said. The future Hall of Fame signal-caller is hoping to make it through this Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams and go into next week's bye with more time to heal up for a stretch run that will begin in Week 14. Even though the 37-year-old aggravated his toe in the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, he did just fine on the stat sheet by going 23-for-33 for 385 yards and four touchdowns while also rushing for a season-high 21 yards on two carries. Rodgers will remain a midrange QB1 despite his injury and a tough matchup against LA in Week 12.

David Bakhtiari Won't Play In Week 12

Green Bay Packers All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) will not practice or play ahead of Week 12. The 30-year-old had arthroscopic surgery to clean up the knee that he had reconstructed back in January, so he will likely be out for a couple more weeks. The Packers just recently lost Pro Bowl guard Elgton Jenkins who had been playing left tackle, so they will be extremely shorthanded on their offensive line until Bakhtiari can make his return. Aaron Rodgers could be in for a rough day against the Rams pass rush on Sunday, so an effective run game could be the key to keep the star quarterback from taking big hits. Bakhtiari is expected to be back for the stretch run to close out the regular season, so there is a chance he can return to action after the team's Week 13 BYE.

David Bakhtiari Won't Play In Week 12

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that left tackle David Bakhtiari (ankle) won't play in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. The Packers will re-evaluate their left tackle after their Week 13 bye. Bakhtiari has yet to play this year after tearing his ACL in 2020, and the Packers want to have him healthy for the stretch run. Yosuah Nijman has played well for the Packers in three games while replacing Elgton Jenkins earlier this year, so the Packers appear comfortable using Nijman on quarterback Aaron Rodgers' blind side until Bakhtiari is ready to make his season debut. Jenkins was carted off the field in the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and suffered a season-ending torn ACL.

Aaron Rodgers' Injury Worse Than Turf Toe

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) said that his injury is worse than turf toe, and he's hoping to get through to the team's bye week in order to have some extra time to rest up. Rodgers said his toe injury was extremely painful in the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but you wouldn't be able to tell by his final numbers. He completed 23 of his 33 pass attempts for 385 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in the 34-31 loss after throwing no touchdowns last week in his return from the COVID-19 list. Rodgers also scrambled twice for 21 additional yards. His toe injury is certainly worth watching as we approach the stretch run in 2021, but after his performance on Sunday on a bum toe, fantasy managers should continue to roll him out there as a strong QB1 option.

Aaron Rodgers Dealing With Painful Toe Injury, Limited Reps

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) is expected to play on Sunday, but limited practice time remains a concern for the future Hall of Famer, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Between a recent bout with COVID-19 and the "painful toe injury," Rodgers hasn't been able to practice in full. In fact, he was limited to just 15 reps during practice on Friday. He'll face the Vikings this week and the Rams next week before heading into a much-needed Week 13 bye. Fantasy managers should continue to treat the veteran as a solid QB1 option.

Aaron Rodgers Will Start Sunday

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) will start in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings after he returned to practice on Friday. The Packers held Rodgers out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but the QB said all along that he would play this weekend in a big divisional game. Rodgers and the Green Bay offense didn't look that great in the 37-year-old's return from a bout with COVID-19 in last week's win over the Seattle Seahawks, and the team also lost running back Aaron Jones (knee) for one to two weeks. But the Vikings defense probably won't be able to slow down the Rodgers-Davante Adams connection, making him at least a solid midrange QB1 in Week 11.

Aaron Rodgers Misses Another Day Of Practice

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) spent another day sidelined at practice on Thursday. Rodgers hasn't practiced yet this week, but he said he will be playing in Week 11 against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. We'd expect Rodgers return to the practice field on Friday, but even if he doesn't, he would still be in line to start this weekend. Rodgers came just short of 300 yards passing in his return from the COVID-19 list last weekend against the Seattle Seahawks, but he went without a touchdown pass. In his second week back, we'd expect better results against a Vikings secondary that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to QBs in the last three weeks. Leave Rodgers in your starting lineups as a midrange QB1.

Aaron Rodgers Dealing With Toe Injury

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) missed practice on Wednesday with a toe injury. The Packers only conducted a walkthrough practice, so they were likely just resting their star quarterback after he returned in Week 10 from a positive COVID-19 test. If Rodgers misses practice again on Thursday, then fantasy managers can begin worrying about his status for Week 11 against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. The 37-year-old also said he plans on playing this weekend, so we expect him to be out there this Sunday. Rodgers underwhelmed in his return from the COVID-19 list, going 23-for-27 for 292 yards, no touchdowns and one interception, but he has a nice chance for a rebound game against the Vikings this weekend. Keep him in your lineups as a midrange QB1.

Aaron Rodgers Not at Practice on Wednesday

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers was absent from practice Wednesday. There is still some speculation about the reason for Rodgers absence, with some assuming that it may just be a rest day after Rodgers admitted to being exhausted after the win due to his recent COVID diagnosis. However, he was added to the injury report with a toe injury, so there is an outside chance the toe also kept him from practicing. Whatever the specific cause may be, we have no indication as of yet that Rodgers is in jeopardy of missing this week's game.

Aaron Rodgers Throws For 292 Yards In Return

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23-of-37 pass attempts for 292 yards and an interception while rushing for eight yards on two attempts in Sunday's 17-0 win over the Seattle Seahawks. The 37-year-old returned to action Week 10 after a one-game absence due to testing positive for COVID-19. He failed to throw a touchdown but was efficient enough to lead the Packers to a 17-0 win on Sunday. Rodgers had thrown for multiple touchdown passes in seven straight games before Week 10. The Packers quarterback will look to get back on track against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11.

Aaron Rodgers Activated From COVID List

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been activated from the COVID list and will start on Sunday against the Seahawks. Rodgers missed last game after testing positive for COVID-19, with Jordan Love starting in his place. Love threw for just 190 yards against a struggling Chiefs defense, so the return of Rodgers is a big boost for this Packers offense. Consider Rodgers a QB1 play this week, though it's worth noting the Seahawks only allow 18 points per game to fantasy quarterbacks.

Aaron Rodgers To Come Off COVID-19 List, Start In Week 10

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is back at the team's facilities and is set to be activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday and will start on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10, according to sources. Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 last week and was quarantined for 10 days, causing him to miss the Week 9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. But he has been asymptomatic of late and will be cleared to play this weekend. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned that Rodgers hasn't practiced with the team in the last two weeks. He'll be returning to face a Seattle defense that has allowed 273.9 passing yards per game this year, which ranks fourth-worst in the NFL. Rodgers will be firmly back in the QB1 mix and can safely be returned to starting lineups in a game that could be a shootout against the returning Russell Wilson (finger) for Seattle.

David Bakhtiari Doubtful To Return Sunday

Green Bay Packers All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) is listed as doubtful to make his season debut on Sunday in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. Bakhtiari was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list earlier this week, but the team will likely play it safe and give him another week to recover after having surgery to fix a torn ACL around 10 months ago. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Bakhtiari didn't have a setback and that it is just "part of the process." So if quarterback Aaron Rodgers is activated from the COVID-19 list to play on Sunday, he'll have Elgton Jenkins protecting his blind side again.

The Green Bay Packers expect quarterback Aaron Rodgers to be cleared from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday before the team's Week 10 game against the Seattle Seahawks, but second-year QB Jordan Love prepared as the starting signal-caller all week as a contingency plan in case Rodgers isn't cleared. Rodgers did not practice all week and hasn't been with the team since he tested positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 3. Love was forced to start in the Week 9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but Rodgers should be back under center this Sunday. He'll be returning to face a Seahawks defense that has allowed 273.9 passing yards per game, fourth-most in the league. Rodgers can be plugged back into starting lineups as a midrange QB1, and he'll also be back with his favorite target, wide receiver Davante Adams.

David Bakhtiari Comes Off PUP List

The Green Bay Packers activated left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday, but head coach Matt LaFleur is unsure if Bakhtiari will return to action right away this Sunday in a showdown against the Seattle Seahawks. The 30-year-old, a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, will be looking to make his season debut when he gets into a game after tearing his ACL last year. Expect the Packers to ease him back in, but this is a big plus for Green Bay's offensive line and quarterback Aaron Rodgers' protection heading into the second half of the 2021 season. Bakhtiari's return will allow Elgton Jenkins to move back to his strength on the interior of the O-line.

Aaron Rodgers Expects To Play In Week 10

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (COVID-19) said there's a small possibility that he will be unavailable against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 last week and has to miss a minimum of 10 days before he can return, meaning the earliest he can be cleared is on Saturday. Rodgers will be a must-start option against Seattle's poor pass defense should he be active, and Davante Adams would re-enter the overall WR1 territory after a very inefficient performance with Jordan Love under center.

Latest On Packers, Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers Has COVID-19, Won't Play In Week 9

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss the Week 9 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to sources. Rodgers could also be at risk of missing the Week 10 game against the Seattle Seahawks since he's unvaccinated. Since he's unvaccinated, he'll be required to complete a 10-day quarantine period. That means he won't be eligible to be cleared until a day before the Week 10 contest against Seattle. The team's controversial first-round pick in 2020, Jordan Love, will make his first career start this Sunday against a struggling Chiefs squad. Fantasy managers will need to downgrade all of Green Bay's offensive skill players with Rodgers out, even wide receiver Davante Adams, assuming he returns after he missed last week due to COVID-19.

Aaron Rodgers Ruled Out After Positive COVID Test  

Aaron Rodgers - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 22-of-37 passes for 184 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a Week 8 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He led the Packers to victory despite missing his top two wide receivers in Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, who were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of last Thursday's game. This season, the 37-year-old has been terrific, throwing for 1,894 yards and a 17:3 TD: INT ratio while rushing for 47 yards and two scores over eight games in 2021. He will get his top two targets back for Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs as Adams is expected to return to practice on Thursday while Lazard was officially activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. The Chiefs' defense can't stop anyone and have given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Rodgers is a surefire QB1 and a top-5 fantasy option in Week 9.

David Bakhtiari Won't Play Thursday

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) will not be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list in time to play on Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals. Bakhtiari tore his ACL on New Year's Eve last year. It's more likely that he will make his season debut in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs. "He's coming off a really significant injury. He looks great. He's worked his tail off. He's put a lot of hours in. We just want to make sure the timing is right," LaFleur said. The return of Bakhtiari will be good news for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense, but they could have some trouble with the Cardinals defense on Thursday with star pass-rusher Chandler Jones returning from the COVID-19 list.

Aaron Rodgers - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be without his top two targets, wide receivers Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, for Thursday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. On Tuesday, Adams and Lazard were both placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and have been ruled out in Week 8. The future Hall-of-Famer has been impressive recently and has thrown two touchdowns or more in six straight games. Thursday's game between the Packers and Cardinals should feature plenty of scoring and currently has an over/under of 51 points. Rodgers may be without his top two pass-catchers, but fantasy managers can start the 37-year-old with confidence as a borderline QB1 in Week 8.

Aaron Rodgers Leads Packers To Another Win

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had another splendid outing, leading his team to a win over Washington on Sunday. The reigning MVP threw for 274 yards and three touchdowns, finding his favorite target, Davante Adams, in the first quarter for a 17-yard score. He also connected with Allen Lazard and Robert Tonyan, who each had end zone trips of their own. The 37-year-old continues to play well and has made fantasy managers forget about his disastrous Week 1 performance against the New Orleans Saints. Nonetheless, his short-term outlook doesn't look bright, primarily with an effective Arizona Cardinals defense on tap for a Thursday Night Football clash. However, Rodgers remains a must-start in all fantasy formats, but DFS enthusiasts may want to consider other options at the position heading into Week 8.

Aaron Rodgers - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers could have another massive fantasy day in Week 7 against the Washington Football Team. Washington has been unable to stop the pass and has given up the most yards through the air. The future Hall of Famer has been terrific in 2021, throwing for 1,436 yards and a 12:3 TD: INT ratio along with 27 rushing yards and two scores over six games in 2021. Rodgers is a surefire QB1 and is set to finish as a top-5 fantasy QB in a plus matchup against Washington.
