2024 Season Outlooks

We're drafting Rodgers as a mid-range QB2 in the double-digit rounds of one-quarterback leagues. Rodgers is expected to be fully recovered from his torn Achilles when the season starts, but he's still a 40-year-old QB who has thrown one pass in an NFL game in the last 18 months. That combined with an opening game at San Francisco means we really don't want to trust him as a starter at the beginning of the season. Still, with Garrett Wilson as his WR1, Breece Hall as a great pass-catching back, and the potential of Mike Williams and Malachi Corley, Rodgers does have some potential upside if he still has it. Pair him with someone you feel good about starting Week 1. If you draft Rodgers in a two-quarterback league, don't do so before Round 6, and make sure you prioritize QB3.

It will be Rodgers' second season with the Jets after an Achilles injury in Week 1 sidelined him for the 2023 campaign. The four-time MVP is entering his age-40 season, but Rodgers averaged 19.9 fantasy points per game in his final three seasons with the Packers. The Jets didn't have a reliable secondary pass-catcher opposite Garrett Wilson last season, so the offseason addition of Mike Williams helps in that area, as does drafting Malachi Corley in the third round. New York's offensive line was also a liability in pass protection, ranking 30th in pass block win rate. The Jets addressed this area by signing former All-Pro offensive tackle Tyron Smith (among others) during free agency. Rodgers has a history of elevating the play of those around him, and he can be drafted as a low-end QB1.
