Team news: Green Bay Packers

Per Aaron Rodgers, he has made up his mind about his next move to the Jets.

Rodgers will be reunited with OC Nathaniel Hackett, who he won his back-to-back MVPs with in Green Bay. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson should be in line for a huge workload, but it's worth mentioning that New York is set to bring in Allen Lazard and apparently even Randall Cobb. Over the past four seasons, the Packers have supported two top-40 running backs and four straight top-12 finishes for Aaron Jones.

All-in-all, the Jets offense should receive a massive boost over the quarterbacks they've been running out on the field the last two seasons.

Trey Wingo (who was the first to indicate the Jets had spoken to Aaron Rodgers last week) has tweeted that the deal is “done.” We’ve heard the same thing, albeit not quite as definitively.

Meanwhile, various Jets players are dropping hints about it on Twitter, from cornerback Sauce Gardner to running back Breece Hall to receiver Garrett Wilson to tackle Mekhi Becton.

The evidence is largely circumstantial. It hit our radar screen because Rodgers is involved in trying to persuade one or more free agents to join the Jets. Gardner hinted at “package deals” last week, if Rodgers were to accept a trade to the Jets.

There is enough smoke here to start processing the fantasy implications of an Aaron Rodgers trade to the Jets. Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, and Corey Davis are all under contract, and all three would get a boost if Rodgers is under center in 2023. As for Rodgers, he'll have a chance to rebound from his QB15 finish last season, though he's still dealing with a relatively raw receiving corps. Davis is a productive vet, while Wilson was one of the top rookie receivers in 2022, so this does look like an upgrade from his weapons in Green Bay. Jordan Love will finally get his chance to start, though he's expected to be a downgrade from Rodgers in his first season as the starter. The Packers will likely try to establish a strong running game to take the pressure off of Love.

Sounds like Christian Watson, Yosh Nijman, and Keisean Nixon all avoided significant injuries. Coach Matt LaFleur said they would be "day to day" this week.

Watson's mid-season explosion has tapered off the last few weeks, and his hip injury knocked him out of Week 15 after only 20 routes run. We should understand the status of his hip better later on this week.

Packers WR Christian Watson is questionable to return against the Dolphins with a hip injury.

Watson was having another solid game with six catches in the first half for 49 yards. We’ll see how serious the injury is, hopefully nothing major. The Packers were trailing at the half 20-13.

A.J. Dillon has cleared concussion protocol, Matt LaFleur says.

Dillon has four TDs over his last three games and has 8, 18 and 11 carries in that same span to go along with three catches in each game as well. The Packers still have an outside shot at making the playoffs and will need another win this week, on Christmas Day, in Miami. It's good news for Dillon owners, and it looks like he'll play so owners can save a spot in lineups if they were counting on him. Keep in mind most games this week are on Christmas Eve.

Packers injury update: RB A.J. Dillon is being evaluated for a concussion.

Related players: Aaron Jones, Patrick Taylor

Jones and Dillon ran all over the Rams, which included three TDs in the win - two of which came from Dillon. We'll have to see Dillon's status going forward this week leading up to Week 16's games, which is Christmas Day at Miami. After being unplayable in lineups this season, Dillon has turned it on a bit over the last few weeks. However he may be risky to wait on for owners as most of Week 16's games are Saturday.

Packers RB Aaron Jones is questionable to return with a shin injury.

The hits keep coming for the Packers. Fortunately, AJ Dillon can jump right in and take over. Jones had 4 carries for 4 yards before coming off the field.

Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers is off the injury report and set to square off vs. Justin Fields.

Related Players: Jordan Love

The Bears defense sets up well for any quarterback, let alone Aaron Rodgers, who has a history of carving them up throughout his career. He is in play as a QB1 for Week 13

Aaron Rodgers said he understands that a conversation will almost certainly be had about his status for the remainder of the season.

That's in large part because of Jordan Love, the third-year backup quarterback who hasn't played much meaningful football in his career. He showed some promise in relief of Rodgers after he left Sunday's game against the Eagles because of the rib injury.

Rodgers said he'd love to finish out the season but understands, "this is a business and there's a lot of us kind of older guys who play a decent amount and they might want to see some younger guys play." He said if the conversation comes up he'd, "approach that with an open mind and without any bitterness or resentment." The Packers are 4-8 and hope is fading fast for a playoff berth.
