New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a surefire future Hall of Famer. He's provided plenty of help to fantasy managers in the past, both through his own production and by allowing his supporting cast to achieve huge years.
Rodgers is nearing the end of his career, but he's looking to make one more run with the Jets after returning from last year's serious injury.

Will Aaron Rodgers Play This Season?
Rodgers suffered a brutal Achilles tear on his first drive with the Jets in Week 1 last year. It was a crushing blow for a Jets team that had high hopes under its new signal-caller.
Rodgers recovered well ahead of schedule last year, and there was even some chatter he might be able to return before the end of the 2023 season. The Jets ultimately held him out for the full season, but he's fully healthy and ready to get his revenge in 2024.
Focus on Aaron Rodgers’ left calf here.
You can see it is a little smaller than his right.
That’s because he tore his left Achilles, and there is atrophy of the calf muscles as a result.
This is 100% to be expected and NOTHING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT. pic.twitter.com/XvJjPs0XPZ

Will Aaron Rodgers Play In Week 1?
Rodgers has been fully healthy throughout training camp, inspiring plenty of confidence for fantasy managers and Jets fans. The veteran quarterback is on track to play in Week 1 without any limitations.
What a great summer/preseason for the #Jets.
Depth looks excellent. Starters impressed in camp. Rodgers looks like Rodgers.
And BY FAR most importantly: no notable injuries to speak of.
Jets basically 100% healthy entering Week 1. Couldn’t ask for much more.

Aaron Rodgers 2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rodgers enters 2024 ranking as a mid-range QB2 option. Fantasy managers should draft him in most 12-team leagues, but he lacks the rushing upside to be a consistent QB1 week in and week out.
Rodgers currently has an ADP of 140, making him the 20th quarterback off the board. He's being drafted after Matthew Stafford, Kirk Cousins, and Justin Herbert but ahead of Geno Smith, Deshaun Watson, and Baker Mayfield.
Rodgers will also provide a major boost to the playmakers around him. Garrett Wilson should reach "start and forget" territory with Rodgers throwing to him, and Breece Hall is a candidate to be the overall RB1. Tyler Conklin and Mike Williams are also solid depth options in fantasy football.
