Draft note

by John Paulsen

Rodgers didn’t play up to his usual standards last year but still finished as the No. 6 fantasy quarterback. He gets a fresh start in a new offense as Matt LaFleur takes over as head coach. After averaged 2.27 touchdowns per game from 2014-17, his touchdown rate dropped to 1.56 per game last year (4.2% of his pass attempts, his lowest TD% since he took over as the starter in 2008). It’s likely that his touchdowns bounce back and he finishes in the top five. He has seven top two finishes in his career, so he’s certainly capable of outplaying his ADP.

Packers Beat: HC Matt LaFleur preaching 'run-centric plan'

ESPN

Jul 30 · 9:16 AM EDT

Matt LeFleur has preached a run-centric plan to help set up things for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and there’s reason to believe him given not only what he did as a playcaller last year with the Tennessee Titans but also what backs have done in the Sean McVay-Kyle Shanahan system that LaFleur intends to mimic.

Even before No. 2 running back Jamaal Williams dropped out of practice last week because of a hamstring injury, Aaron Jones clearly repped as running back No. 1.

Fantasy Impact:

Throughout the offseason, the company line was how well Jones fit not only in LaFleur’s run scheme -- which relies heavily on outside zone plays -- but also how much the offense uses backs as receivers, and that appears to have held true, the story said. Jones led all RBs last season with a 5.47 yards per carry average.

GB QB Aaron Rodgers - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Aaron Rodgers played all 16 games in 2018 and posted the second-highest passing yards total of his career with 4,442. But he threw just 25 touchdown passes, which for Rodgers was the lowest total for him in his career in a 16-game season. But the 36-year-old was injured for much of the season and working with perhaps the worst group of receivers in his career, particularly in terms of experience. He's still, quite frankly, in the top two in the league in terms of arm talent and, despite a coaching change, should still be the focal point of the offense.

Fantasy Downside
This is now two years in a row Rodgers suffered through an injury-plagued season, though, as mentioned, he did appear in all 16 games in 2018. And with Mike McCartney now gone, Rodgers could be reigned in slightly by the new staff, which could feature the running game a little more.

2019 Bottom Line
Rodgers should be on the same page more often with his young receiving corps, which will help out greatly with his 2019 stats. He's a great candidate for a bounce-back season. As mentioned, he remains one of the top-two arm talents in the league. Take advantage of his down season to grab him a little later than usual. His current ADP is around rounds 5 or 6, which is a steep fall for this Hall of Fame talent.
