New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers has had quite a storied career since being drafted with the 24th overall pick in the 2005 draft. After spending the first 18 years of his career with the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers played just 1 possession for the Jets last season before suffering a season-ending Achilles injury. Below, we look at Aaron Rodgers’ 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Entering 2024, he is expected to impact the Jets’ roster in the way he was expected to prior to his injury. Looking for a new beginning with a new team, the seasoned veteran is intriguing in terms of fantasy value.

Rodgers’s ADP in redraft leagues places him in the range of the 10th to the 12th round, depending on the size of the league.
Among quarterbacks, Rodgers’ ADP puts him 21st at the position, behind Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye (93.86), the Lions’ Jared Goff (94.49), Broncos rookie Bo Nix (105.66) and surprisingly Saints rookie Spencer Rattler (107.46). Rodgers is just ahead of the Chargers Justin Herbert (114.80) and the Falcons’ Kirk Cousins (118.95).

Where should you draft Rodgers?
Rodgers’ fantasy value is to be rightfully doubted. Entering his 20th season — coming off the Achilles injury — he remains a question mark for the upcoming season.
He still has the mind of the Super Bowl winning quarterback we last saw at full strength 2 seasons ago which will certainly aid his return. He is also surrounded by the young, talented WR Garrett Wilson and his former Packers’ teammate WR Allen Lazard. On the ground, RB Breece Hall has created a name for himself with his success opening up further opportunities for Rodgers.
Rodgers will be more of a pocket-passer than a QB who is mobile on his feet, but with his talent, he will still be able to produce reasonable numbers for a QB.
Start looking to draft Rodgers in the 10th round and beyond. He has a major upside that we have seen in the past, but his downside is a lot steeper than many other QBs ahead of him. When healthy, he can be a great piece to a fantasy team, but his risk of injury outweighs any thoughts of taking him in the early to mid-rounds.
