Vikings planning for Aaron Rodgers to play

Dec 18, 2017

Aaron Rodgers returned in Week 15 for the first time since fracturing his collarbone. The Packers were defeated 31-24 at Carolina after an up-and-down day from Rodgers, who threw three touchdowns and three interceptions.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy was noncommittal about Rodgers playing in Weeks 16 or 17, but the Vikings anticipate seeing No. 12 when they travel to Lambeau Field.

"I feel like he's going to play," Linval Joseph said. "I feel like he's got something to prove and I kind of want him to play because it'd be more of a challenge."

Fantasy Impact:

If the Falcons win on Monday Night Football it would eliminate the Packers from the playoffs, and at that point perhaps GB would be wise to sit Rodgers. Those who picked up Rodgers recently or stashed him will have to wait and see what the Packers decide to do.

Panthers placed RB Jonathon Brooks on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he now will be out for the 2025 season.

Related Players: Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne

Fantasy Impact:

With the additions of Dowdle and Etienne (fourth round), this was a distinct possibility, and now the move has been made quite early in the post-Draft season. Brooks will be a tough gamble for 2026, but here's hoping for a full recovery for the young back.

Eagles and TE Dallas Goedert agree to reworked deal for 2025

The Eagles and TE Dallas Goedert have agreed to a reworked deal for this season, as Jeff McLane stated. The team had trade offers for Goedert during the draft. He was in the loop. Decided to remain with the team and selflessly restructured to try running it back.

Related Players: Grant Calcaterra, Kylen Granson, Harrison Bryant

Fantasy Impact:

As Garafolo touches on, it seemed like a draft-day trade was very much on the table, but once the smoke cleared, it seemed obvious that the vet would remain on the team for at least one more year. Philadelphia currently has seven tight ends on the roster, so expect to see a lot of those names drop off throughout the summer. Goedert should once again be considered a touchdown-dependent low-end TE1 on a great offense.

Jaguars release WR Gabe Davis

The Jaguars have released WR Gabe Davis, who was due $12.5M this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Davis played in only 10 games for Jacksonville last season, accruing a 20-239-2 stat line while playing mostly out wide. If he were to have stuck around, he likely would have been a deep rotational piece playing behind the newly-acquired Dyami Brown (and Travis Hunter).
