Rodgers, a seasoned veteran and a pivotal figure for his team, has had his share of ups and downs this season. Despite this, the consensus is clear: never count him out. For those with the luxury of a deep fantasy roster, Rodgers remains a viable option to stash, especially if an Injury Reserve spot is available. Placing him on IR ensures that no active roster spot is wasted, a strategy savvy managers might consider.

The team’s victory yesterday has subtly boosted the odds of Rodgers making a comeback, even as Wilson showed promise on the field. This situation presents a classic fantasy dilemma: should Rodgers return in Week 17 and deliver a standout performance, any opponent not rostering him could face regret.

The decision to keep Aaron Rodgers on a fantasy roster hinges on a few critical factors: the availability of a roster or IR spot and the willingness to gamble on his uncertain future. While his current form suggests a downward trend, the allure of his potential cannot be easily dismissed.

In NFL betting and fantasy football, sometimes the boldest moves yield the most significant rewards.
