2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rodgers’ first year in New York lasted 3 minutes, 45 seconds before an Achilles tear in the opener sidelined him for the season. Remarkably, he was activated off injured reserve and returned to practice the final three weeks of the season. He said in February he still couldn’t sprint at full speed, but he’s expected to be fully recovered come training camp. Achilles injuries are notoriously difficult to overcome, though, and a setback wouldn’t be surprising, especially at 40 years old. Rodgers isn’t the Jets’ only wild card. Free-agent WR Mike Williams is coming off an ACL injury and might not be ready for Week 1, and there’s no telling how the run-after-catch game of third-round pick Malachi Corley, a 5-11, 215, slot WR with 4.56 speed, will translate to the NFL. On the plus side, the Jets remade their offensive line this offseason, signing LT Tyron Smith and LG John Simpson, trading for RT Morgan Moses and drafting OT Olu Fashanu 11th overall. It (probably) can’t be worse than last year’s O-line that got Rodgers hurt and allowed 64 sacks (4th most). No. 1 wide receiver Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall give Rodgers at least two playmakers. With a little good fortune, Rodgers could jump into the top 15 of fantasy quarterbacks.

Won't be limited in OTAs
According to coach Robert Saleh, Rodgers (Achilles) will have "no restrictions" when the Jets begin their OTA practices May 20, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After suffering a torn left Achilles four snaps into his first season with the Jets, Rodgers underwent surgery to address the issue Sept. 14. While the veteran signal-caller didn't see any game action prior to the conclusion of the 2023 campaign, he did practice on a limited basis down the stretch. With that in mind, it's not surprising that the 40-year-old is on track to practice in full during phase three of New York's OTAs later this month. When it comes to his supporting cast this coming season, Tyrod Taylor is slated to serve as the team's No. 2 QB, top running back Breece Hall is further removed from the ACL tear that derailed his 2022 season, and the team's wideout corps has been fortified by free-agent addition Mike Williams (knee) and 2024 third-rounder Malachi Corley. Still, Rodgers' fantasy upside hinges on whether he's able to avoid any setbacks as he looks to regain his pre-injury form.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No restrictions for OTAs
Rodgers, who was able to get back on the practice field late last season following an unprecedentedly fast recovery from his Achilles tear, will have no restrictions for the Jets' upcoming OTAs, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Robert Saleh confirmed as much Friday at the start of the team's two-day minicamp, noting Rodgers would be a full go when OTAs begin May 20. The Jets will have four weeks of OTAs beginning on that date, a span that will encompass 10 practices and noncontact, 11-on-11 work.

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.
