2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Rodgers era in Green Bay is over, but the QB is still wearing green. The Jets, who’ve searched for a Super Bowl-caliber QB since Joe Namath, traded a bevy of picks for the 39-year-old. The question is just how much Rodgers has left. Last year, he finished QB13 in fantasy, the first time in his career outside the top 10 in a full season. He posted a full-season career low in passing yards as his 6.8 YPA ranked 23rd. More alarming, his 12 interceptions were one shy of the total from his previous three seasons combined and the most he'd thrown since 13 as a first-year starter in 2008. Part of his problem was a lack of playmakers. Rodgers had the second-highest dropped pass percentage (7.4), and while his on-target percentage (51.3) on attempts of 20-plus yards ranked ninth, his completion percentage (33.8) ranked 22nd. It could be a problem again. In New York he has Garrett Wilson, who had 1,103 receiving yards as a rookie last year, and not much else. The No. 2 WR is his former Packers teammate Allen Lazard, whose efficiency slumped considerably with a big increase in volume last year. The speed demon is Mecole Hardman, who never broke out in four seasons with Patrick Mahomes before signing with the Jets this March. Rodgers doesn't do much with his feet at this point, and he won't rank among the league leaders in pass attempts unless the Jets' big-time investments in their defense and running game go horribly wrong. Stabilizing the Jets in real life won't necessarily mean a reprisal of the big numbers from his better Green Bay years. Read Past Outlooks

Hopeful for postseason return
Rodgers is targeting a return to action during the playoffs after undergoing an innovative surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles to repair his torn left Achilles' tendon, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.
ANALYSIS
Achilles tears have historically been season-ending injuries, with Rams running back Cam Akers -- who needed just under five months to recover from surgery in 2021 -- having thus far staged the fastest-known recovery from the injury. Rodgers is hopeful to match or beat that five-month recovery timeline, which would fall just under a week before Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. According to the report, Rodgers and the Jets are optimistic that he'll be in store for an accelerated rehab after his surgery included a procedure to place an internal bridge or "speed bridge" into the ruptured Achilles. The speed bridge is designed to better protect the repaired tendon and open the door for a return from surgery in as little as four months, though there are no guarantees, given that the procedure is a relatively novel one. In addition, Rodgers is expected to receive platelet-rich plasma injections to aid in accelerating the healing process. In a best-case scenario, Rodgers could be ready to play by mid-January, but that probably isn't an outcome the Jets are banking on, even if they claim a playoff spot.

Most of us would sooner forget the Broncos-Bears game, but it was at least interesting for fantasy purposes thanks to young RBs Khalil Herbert and Jaleel McLaughlin both taking on larger roles.

Juan Carlos has the NFL Betting Picks for the Week 4 Sunday Night Football game featuring Kansas City Chiefs at New York Jets.

Patrick Mahomes might be costly, but in a low-scoring matchup he's more affordable than usual in the Sunday night showdown slate.

Sasha Yodashkin reviews the Week 4 main slate and thinks George Kittle is too big a bargain against a Cardinals defense that's been vulnerable to tight ends.

Last season was filled with drama for Rodgers, but it ended the same way as the previous year — as NFL MVP. He lost 11 TD passes from the previous season in part because of predictable regression in red-zone scores, while his 68.9 completion percentage (3rd) and 7.7 YPA (6th) were only slightly off his 2020 pace. He also took his ability to protect the football to even greater heights. After throwing two interceptions in Week 1, he had just two more the rest of the season. Rodgers put to rest the question of where he’d play this year by signing a contract extension in March. But days later, he lost his best offensive weapon, wide receiver Davante Adams, and then field-stretcher Marquez Valdes-Scantling. If the quarterback makes the receiver, then Rodgers will be fine. But the WR room is devoid of high-end talent and the team waited until its third draft pick to add a wideout — Christian Watson, a 6-4 receiver with 4.36 speed. Otherwise, it's Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb, Amari Rodgers and fourth-round pick Romeo Doubs at wide receiver, plus TEs Robert Tonyan and Josiah Deguara. Running backs Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, who combined for 86 catches last season, look poised for a lot of work. Rodgers' TDs could dip again without his best goal-line target, and with no clear go-to WR — let alone the QB-WR mind meld Rodgers had with Adams — his 18th season could be bumpier than the last two years.
