Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Four TDs in possible swan song
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 23 of 36 passes for 274 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 3,897 passing yards and a 28:11 TD:INT.
Rodgers' first touchdown pass was the 500th of his NFL career. That one was a five-yard pass to Tyler Conklin in the second quarter, and Rodgers added a 13-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard in the final minute of the first half. Rodgers tacked on fourth-quarter touchdowns of four yards to Davante Adams and six yards to Breece Hall, as the fifth quarterback in NFL history to throw 500 regular-season touchdown passes raised his career total to 503. It's possible this was the final game of Rodgers' illustrious career, and even more likely his final game with the Jets. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, a reflective Rodgers didn't provide definitive word on his future after this rare sweet spot capped a mostly bitter season.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Rodgers had one of his better games this season in Week 14 at Miami when he passed for 339 yards and one touchdown for 19.6 Fantasy points, and that was his only 300-yard game of the year. But he's looked awful in the past two games against the Rams and Bills, and he combined for just 15.3 Fantasy points over that span. Rodgers needs one touchdown for 500 in his Hall of Fame career, and he could reach that milestone against the Dolphins. But it's hard to expect much more from Rodgers, who has scored more than 20 Fantasy points just twice since Week 9.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Will start in Week 18
Rotowire
Rodgers will start next Sunday's Week 18 game against Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
New York has little to play for aside from draft slotting given its 4-12 record, but it appears the team's starters will still suit up for the season finale. The Jets will be going up against a motivated Dolphins team that must win in order to keep its long-shot playoff hopes alive. Rodgers remains one touchdown pass away from 500 in his illustrious career, and Sunday could mark his final appearance as a Jet if, as expected, the team decides to go in a different direction this offseason.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Fails to throw 500th TD
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 12 of 18 passes for 112 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.
The Jets' first two drives both got inside Buffalo's 25-yard line, but the first ended in a turnover on downs and the second ended in a Rodgers interception. Rodgers was then sacked for a safety on the following drive as the Jets took a 12-0 deficit into the locker room. Things got even worse in the second half, as Rodgers was picked off again in the third quarter, and the Jets turned to Tyrod Taylor after taking a 33-0 deficit into the fourth quarter. Rodgers remains stuck on 499 career regular-season touchdown passes, and he'll have one last chance to throw No. 500 this season against the Dolphins in Week 18.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Estimated as full practice participant
Rotowire
Rodgers (knee) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Per Brian Costello of the New York Post, Rodgers said Tuesday that he was dealing with an MCL injury, but he planned to play Sunday against the Bills nonetheless. The quarterback's listing on Wednesday's practice report supports that notion, and barring any setbacks in practices Thursday and Friday, Rodgers should head into the weekend without an injury designation.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
I was worried about Rodgers last week against the Rams, and he struggled with 14.8 Fantasy points. I'm worried about him again in Week 17 at Buffalo, and I would only start Rodgers in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues. He's dealing with an MCL injury in his knee, and the Jets are placing rookie left tackle Olu Fashanu (foot) on injured reserve. The Bills just got a scare from the Patriots in a 24-21 win in Week 16 and should be re-focused in this matchup, and Rodgers is not worth trusting as a starter in one-quarterback leagues in Week 17.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Fizzles out after decent start
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 28 of 42 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams. He also rushed once for six yards and lost a fumble.
Rodgers connected with Davante Adams for an 11-yard touchdown in the first quarter, but the Jets added only three points the rest of the way, including a missed PAT after Adams' third touchdown catch in the past two games. The veteran quarterback still has multiple touchdown passes in five of his last eight starts despite failing to do so against the Rams, but his uptick in production hasn't led to much team success, as the Jets fell to 4-11 with Sunday's loss. New York's unlikely to get back in the win column in Week 17 against the Bills.
Rodgers tops this list for the second week in a row, and we can only hope it goes as well as last week. He's a top-12 option in Week 16 partially because of recent play and partially because of the landscape of the position this week. Rodgers is QB14 with an average of 20.5 FPPG since Davante Adams joined the team, and he's averaged 26.8 in his last two.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Three TDs in rare Jets win
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 16 of 30 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars. He also rushed five times for 45 yards and threw a two-point conversion.
Rodgers posted his third-highest passing yardage total of the campaign while setting a new season high in rushing yards in this throwback performance. He answered an opening-drive Jaguars touchdown with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson, but the veteran quarterback finished the first half with just three completions and 55 passing yards. Rodgers bounced back in the third quarter with a go-ahead one-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams, whom Rodgers connected with for a 43-yard gain earlier on the drive. After the Jets fell behind 22-17 in the fourth quarter, Rodgers found Adams for a 71-yard touchdown and a two-point conversion to take a three-point lead with 3:24 remaining, then linked up with Adams for a 41-yard gain to set up Breece Hall's game-winning touchdown run. Adams accounted for 198 of Rodgers' 289 passing yards, and their chemistry will be tough for the Rams to stop in Week 16.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
Rodgers will be more of an option in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 15, but he does have the chance to play well against the Jaguars, who are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. For the season, eight quarterbacks have scored at least 20 Fantasy points against Jacksonville, and the Jaguars allow 24.7 Fantasy points per game to the position. Rodgers has scored at least 18 Fantasy points in three games in a row and five of his past six outings, so hopefully he does well once again in Week 15.
Rodgers just had his best passing output of the season with 339 passing yards against the Dolphins. Now he faces a Jacksonville defense that has given up the most Fantasy points to opposing QBs. I would not be surprised if he tops 300 yards again and throws more than one touchdown this time. Rodgers is a one-week stream only.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Season-high 339 yards in OT loss
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 27 of 39 passes for 339 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.
Rodgers not only surpassed 200 passing yards for the first time since Week 9, but he exceeded 300 for the first time as a member of the Jets. He found Garrett Wilson for a 35-yard gain to convert on fourth down in the second quarter, setting up Isaiah Davis' 17-yard touchdown run on the next play. Rodgers connected with Wilson again for a 42-yard pickup in the third quarter to set up Rodgers' only touchdown pass of the afternoon -- a three-yarder to Davante Adams. All told, Wilson and Adams combined for 223 of Rodgers' 339 passing yards, but the Jets never got a chance to possess the ball in overtime as Miami drove down the field to drop New York's record to 3-10. Barring an announcement to the contrary from the team, Rodgers will remain the starter in Week 15, when the Jets face the 3-10 Jaguars in a game with significant implications for the 2025 NFL Draft order.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Hoping to finish season
Rotowire
Not only are the Jets starting Rodgers this week against Miami, but they hope that he can play the rest of the season, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.
Glazer emphasized how much Rodgers was playing through injuries earlier in the season, including a Week 2 Grade 2 hamstring tear. This shoots down earlier speculation that the Jets might turn to Tyrod Taylor, at least for now -- each week's results can potentially change an organization's mindset.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: QBs to Sit

Rodgers has actually scored at least 18 Fantasy points in four of his past five games, but he continues to struggle each week. He could potentially get benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor, and you can't start Rodgers with any confidence in Week 14 at Miami since the Dolphins are No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. I would only consider starting Rodgers in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 14.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Throws pick-six in loss to Seattle
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 21 of 39 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks. He added two rushing attempts for six yards.
Rodgers has been playing through injuries to his legs but looked much more spry coming out of the Week 12 bye, extending plays with his legs and even throwing a block on a reverse in the first quarter. He also threw a pair of short first-quarter touchdown passes (eight yards to Davante Adams and four yards to Isaiah Davis). Rodgers should have had his third touchdown of the first half in the second quarter, but he overthrew a wide open Garrett Wilson in the end zone, then tossed a pick-six on the very next play. That interception turned the tide, kicking off a 19-0 Seattle run to end the game. The nearly 41-year-old quarterback is considered a longshot to return to the Jets next season, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, but Rodgers should remain the starter for the remainder of the 2024 campaign, which will continue with a Week 14 road game in Miami.

Rodgers has actually scored 20.1 Fantasy points in three of his past four games, and he hasn't thrown an interception since Week 7 at Pittsburgh. But I don't love this matchup for him, and Seattle just held Kyler Murray and Brock Purdy to a combined 444 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the past two games. Purdy had a rushing touchdown to get over 20 Fantasy points, but Murray was held to 10.3 points in Week 12. And the Seahawks have allowed six passing touchdowns and six interceptions in their past five games against Kirk Cousins, Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, Purdy, and Murray.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Fewer than 200 yards again
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 22 of 29 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns while rushing once for seven yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.
The Jets didn't pick up a first down until after the two-minute warning in the first half, but they finally showed some life on their last drive before halftime, which Rodgers capped with a 29-yard touchdown pass to Breece Hall. Rodgers added an 11-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Yeboah to put the Jets up 24-16 in the fourth quarter, but the Colts responded with a 12-3 run. Rodgers had a chance to save the day after taking over with 46 seconds remaining and no timeouts, but he proceeded to fumble the ball and then take a sack within a three-play span as time ran out on the Jets, and they fell to 3-8 heading into their Week 12 bye.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Looks washed in blowout loss
Rotowire
Rodgers completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 151 yards and no touchdowns while losing a fumble on one of his three sacks taken in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.
Rodgers looked like a shell of his former MVP self in a contest that the Jets absolutely needed to win, failing to throw a TD pass after having 10 over his previous five starts. The 40-year-old had strung together a pair of strong outings in recent weeks, but his arm simply looked gassed once the team fell behind and needed to put up points quickly. Rodgers and the Jets need to re-evaluate their gameplan now that the team has fallen to 3-7. For now, expect the veteran signal-caller to be under center against the Colts next Sunday.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Rodgers has scored at least 21.3 Fantasy points in three of his past four games, including a season-high 26.3 points in Week 9 against Houston in the first game where Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams did something of significance at the same time. But I don't know if the Cardinals qualify as a good matchup after holding Justin Herbert, Tua Tagovailoa, and Caleb Williams to 16.7 Fantasy points or less in each of the past three games and the only quarterback to score more than 18.5 Fantasy points against Arizona this season without a rushing touchdown was Jordan Love in Week 6. Rodgers is more of a bust alert than a must-sit quarterback, but I don't love the matchup for him this week.

Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Adds/Streamers (QB Preview)
Rotowire
Rodgers has a good chance to be a QB1 rest of season. He has one of the best wide receiver duos in the league and a pass-catching back that can take it to the house from anywhere. He's thrown multiple touchdown passes in four of his last five games and his passer rating has been over 110 in both of the games he's played with Davante Adams. I like him as a top-10 QB in Week 10 against the Cardinals.
