Fantasy football season is in the air and the unique offseason is causing more questions than answers as we enter our fantasy football drafts. Below, we focus on Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and his fantasy football potential this year.
Aaron Rodgers’ Fantasy Football ADP

Reasons not to draft Aaron Rodgers
- He has not had more than 26 touchdown passes in a season since 2016, when he threw a league-high 40.
- Outside of Davante Adams, Rodgers does not have a dynamic receiver to throw to, and the Packers didn’t add any big-time weapons in the offseason.
- The Packers offense relied less on Rodgers in 2019 than in previous seasons.
Where should I draft Aaron Rodgers in fantasy football drafts?
With the slew of dual-threat quarterbacks who can not only get you points in passing but also running, he should not be among the first players you select. Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, Kyler Murray, Dak Prescott and even Cam Newton should go before him.
In a two-QB league, Rodgers is worth a third or a fourth-round pick, giving you the potential for a great value.
In conventional leagues, wait until later rounds to pick up Rodgers. He won’t be highly valued even though he does give you high-end potential.
His numbers have been pedestrian the last couple of seasons, at least based on his entire career, but there is no question he is still capable of slinging 40 touchdowns. The problem is his supporting cast.
