Fantasy Football Player Notes

Aaron Rodgers is coming back for what he says will be his final NFL season. But the 42-year-old Rodgers appears to be little more than a depth option in superflex leagues and deep 1QB leagues. Rodgers averaged 14.6 fantasy points per game last season. He threw for 3,322 yards and 23 touchdowns - not bad numbers - but he averaged only 6.7 yards per pass attempt, and his average depth of throw was just 6.0 yards. This senior version of Rodgers is something of a check-down machine, and that's not a great profile for fantasy. Rodgers appears anxious to get the ball out quickly to avoid hits, so he probably isn't going to have many deep completions this season. The future Hall-of-Famer is little more than a fantasy depth option at this point.
