BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Expecting New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers to return to elite status after returning from a torn Achilles at age 40 was expecting too much, but this week's win over the Patriots showed he can still have glimpses of his old self.
In a dominant 24-3 win against the Patriots, Rodgers was 27-for-35 for 281 yards and two touchdowns while adding 18 yards on the ground. It was his first game of the season with over 200 passing yards and his second multi-touchdown game in a row.
When you’re a 4-time MVP like Aaron Rodgers, you don’t just lose this elite kind of ball placement overnight.
Filthy stuff tonight. Nothing vintage about it. He still has it.

Rodgers isn't a fantasy QB at this point in his career, but he's an ideal backup to have on your fantasy roster, someone who can fill in if you're dealing with injury issues or your starting quarterback is on a bye. He should be rostered in 14-team leagues right now, so grab him off the waiver wire this week.
