Will Aaron Rodgers Play in Week 13? (2022 Fantasy Football)

Will Aaron Rodgers Play in Week 13? (2022 Fantasy Football)

Aaron Rodgers looked battered in Week 12’s loss to Philadelphia and left the game early with an apparent rib injury on top of dealing with a lingering thumb issue. In 12 games, the 39-year-old has finished as a QB1 only twice, though he looks like he has developed some rapport with rookie WR Christian Watson. In Week 13, Rodgers faces his favorite opponent, the Bears, who just gave up 315 yards passing to Mike White. It is hard to believe the reigning MVP would miss such a cake matchup, but should fantasy managers trust him in their lineups? Here’s where things stand.

What the Experts are Saying

Aaron Rodgers is expected to play this week after leaving last week’s game early (ribs). Rodgers is ninth in PFF passing grade, 16th in adjusted completion rate, and 24th in yards per attempt as the QB22 in fantasy. Rodgers could log only his third QB1 finish of the season this week against a Bears secondary that has seen the bottom fall out. Since Week 7, Chicago has been 31st in success rate per dropback, 32nd in passing yards per game, and 31st in explosive pass rate allowed.

At this point, it appears that Aaron Rodgers is going to start this week and if he does, he faces a Bears D that just gave up 25 fantasy points to Mike White. The issue is injury, Rodgers could also be knocked out of the game early with one hit that aggravates various injuries that he is playing through. Rodgers is a boom / bust low-end QB1 to high-end QB2 if he starts this week.
