Rodgers (lower leg) failed his after-season physical check-up and will not play in the Pro Bowl.

Analysis: It's probably for the best that Rodgers will sit out the Pro Bowl, as he'll get some needed recovery time after he was behind center for all 16 regular-season games and two playoff games for the Packers. The injury isn't expected to require any sort of procedure or limit Rodgers during his offseason training regimen.

Rodgers completed 26-of-39 passes for 257 yards with two touchdowns and one interception during Green Bay's divisional-round loss at San Francisco on Saturday. He also scampered for 28 yards on three carries.

Analysis: Rodgers played well enough, but could not match the 49ers offensivley, who exploded for 579 yards as they held the ball for nearly 38 minutes of game time. After racking up 4,295 yards with a 39:8 TD:INT ratio during the regular season, he managed at least 250 yards passing in each contest in the 2012 playoffs, while tossing three touchdowns versus one interception. With four 4,000-yard seasons and three campaigns recording at least 30 touchdown passes in five full seasons as a starter, Rodgers has staked his claim as a top-5 fantasy pick on a yearly basis.

Rodgers completed 22-of-33 passes for 274 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's win over the Vikings. Rodgers also carried the ball twice for 12 yards.

Analysis: Next up for Rodgers and the Packers is a road contest next Saturday against the 49ers, who limited their opposition to an average of 200.2 passing yards per game this season.

Aaron Rodgers: Four TDs, Season-High 365 Yards

Rodgers completed 28-of-40 passes for four touchdowns and a season-high 365 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

Analysis: It was a banner day for Rodgers, who was without top target Randall Cobb (ankle), but did welcome Jordy Nelson (hamstring) back in the lineup. Rodgers was able to reestablish a rapport with Greg Jennings, who finished with eight catches for 120 yards and two touchdowns. Rodgers will get another crack at the Vikings defense next weekend, when the division rivals play each other in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Rodgers dismantles Titans

Rodgers completed 27-of-38 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns versus the Titans on Sunday. The veteran also added a rushing score during the Packers 55-7 blowout. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: Even more amazing is the veteran did it all before being rested early in the fourth quarter. For owners with another week to play, Rodgers could potentially be rested in Week 17 if the Seahawks win their matchup versus the 49ers on Sunday night.

Rodgers (ankle) completed 27-of-38 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns Sunday against the Titans. He also had four carries for 11 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.

Analysis: Rodgers was simply unstoppable Sunday, connecting with eight different receivers, while rushing for a six-yard touchdown in the first quarter. He threw touchdowns to the usual suspects of James Jones, Randall Cobb, and Greg Jennings and left early in the fourth quarter with the Packers up by more than 40 points. The Packers clinched the No. 3 seed in the NFC and can clinch the No. 2 spot, and a first round bye, especially if the Seahawks beat the 49ers on Sunday night.

Rodgers (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans, the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Despite rolling the ankle last week against the Bears, Rodgers is ready to go Sunday against the Titans in Week 16.

Rodgers thrives in the red zone

NFL.com's "10 Mind-Blowing Stats" for Week 16 notes, "Since becoming the full-time starter in 2008, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has thrown 102 TD and 2 INT in the red zone, including 18 TD and 0 INT in 2012." READ: MIND-BLOWING STATS

Analysis: Rodgers will have his opportunities to continue his red-zone success against a Titans defense which has allowed 26 touchdown passes this season.

Rodgers (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Analysis: As was believed to be the case all along, Rodgers' ankle is a non-issue. His owners should use him as they normally would against Tennessee.

Rodgers (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Rodgers' ankle concern appears to be a minor one, so fantasy owners should have no worries going into Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Aaron Rodgers: Plans to Play Through Ankle Injury

Rodgers injured his ankle during Week 15's win over the Bears but said there is "no doubt I'll play Sunday," NFL.com reports.

Analysis: "(The) ankle is OK," Rodgers said. "It's all right. I have pretty strong ankles. Haven't taped my ankles in nine years. I swear by it." The ankle injury should be a non-issue going forward. Those in the fantasy playoffs should be starting Rodgers with full confidence, as the Packers will surely keep playing their star quarterback in hopes of clinching a first-round bye.

Rodgers thrives in divisional matchup

Rodgers completed 23-of-36 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns against the Bears on Sunday. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: The veteran was able to overcome a slow start against one of the better defenses in league en route to a 24.94 point performance. It was his first 20 -plus performance since Week 9.

Rodgers completed 23-of-36 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Bears.

Analysis: Rodgers, after failing to throw a touchdown pass in last week's game, found wide receiver James Jones from 29, eight, and six yards for all three of his respective touchdown tosses Sunday. Even though the Packers handed the ball off 28 times, Rodgers' 291 passing yards marked his highest total since Week 7 and helped Green Bay clinch their division. With a tasty home matchup against the Titans next week, Rodgers should have another strong fantasy performance to the delight of his owners.

James Jones doubles up

After one half of play, Packers wideout James Jones has totaled both of the Packers touchdowns behind just 43 yards receiving. FOLLOW WITH GAME CENTER

Analysis: After a slow start, Aaron Rodgers has become more effective, completing 14-of-22 passes for 164 yards and the two scores.

Rodgers struggled vs. Bears

In his "Like/Dislike" analysis, Adam Rank notes, "Aaron Rodgers has scored fewer than 16 points in four consecutive games. He had a season-low 10.16 fantasy points against the Bears in Week 2." FULL LIKE/DISLIKE

Analysis: Rodgers has had some tough games against the Bears, but given his ability and weapons at his disposal, he should still be considered a player to start.

Rodgers completed 14-of-24 passes for 173 yards and added a rushing touchdown in Sunday's win over the Lions.

Analysis: The wind and snow played a factor in this one, as the Packers called 22 run plays and 24 pass plays. Rodgers had 32 rushing yards to go along with his touchdown run, but it was the second time this season that Rodgers failed to throw a touchdown pass. He'll look to bounce back in Week 15 against the Bears, but weather conditions in the Windy City may force the Packers to rely on the ground game once again.

Rodgers and the Packers figure to be dealing with some winter weather Sunday night against the Lions.

Analysis: The Packers and Rodgers have certainly dealt with winter conditions before, so we don't expect the team's passing game to be shut down by a little dicey weather, but if the field ends up being sloppy, both teams may end up running the ball more than usual.

Rodgers still elite without top weapons

As Daniel Jeremiah notes in his "Who Has the Edge?" report, "Thanks to the play of the NFL's reigning MVP, the Packers have won six of their past seven games. During this stretch, Rodgers has thrown 19 touchdown passes and only four interceptions. Despite the absence of a credible running game and healthy receiving corps, Rodgers continues to play at an elite level on a weekly basis." READ: WHO HAS THE EDGE?

Analysis: In his Week 11 meeting with the Lions, Rodgers posted 15.74 points behind a 236 yard, two touchdown performance. With Greg Jennings' return to the lineup, the veteran should find success stretching the field against a defense which is tied for allowing the third-most (10) completions of 40 -plus yards this season.

Rodgers struggles vs. Vikings

Rodgers completed 27 of 35 passes for 286 yards to go with one touchdown and one interception. The veteran also added 15 yards rushing for the day. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: Rodgers wasn't at the top of his game in this performance, as reflected by his 14.94 fantasy performance.

Rodgers completed 27-of-35 passes for 286 yards with one touchdown and one interception during Green Bay's victory Sunday over Minnesota. He also rushed four times for 15 yards on the afternoon.

Analysis: Rodgers was his typical efficient self, posting his second-best completion percentage (77.1) of the season. At the moment, he has at least one touchdown pass in nine consecutive contests and has yet to toss up a quarterback rating under 80 in 2012. With Detroit visiting the Packers next Sunday, Rodgers is set to continue his touchdown streak against a Lions defense that has yielded 21 scores in 12 outings to opposing quarterbacks.

Rodgers completed 14-of-25 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Analysis: Rodgers struggled to get in sync all night as New York's pass rush was too much for the Packers' banged up offensive line. Greg Jennings hopes to return to the lineup for the Packers' Week 13 matchup against the Vikings, so Rodgers may have another offensive weapon.

Giants struggle vs. pass

As noted in NFL Films Packers vs. Giants preview, during the Packers five game win streak, Aaron Rodgers has "thrown 17 touchdowns and just two interceptions, compiling a rating of 113." WATCH PACKERS/GIANTS PREVIEW

Analysis: Rodgers should be able to take advantage of the Giants 25th ranked passing defense, one which has allowed an average of 257 yards per game and 17 touchdowns this season.

Rodgers completed 19-of-27 throws for 236 passing yards and two touchdowns, but also threw an interception Sunday against the Lions.

Analysis: Rodgers' 236 passing yards, while not spectacular considering his standards, was his highest output since Week 7. He has now thrown an interception in consecutive games, but Rodgers showed his elite ability Sunday as he engineered a six-play, 82 yard drive in the fourth quarter that ended with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb, giving the Packers the lead and eventual win. Next week, Rodgers will go against a Giants defense that has been vulnerable against the pass, but is also coming off a bye week and features a front-seven that could cause the Packers' offensive line some protection trouble. Green Bay will need Rodgers on his A-game to prevail next Sunday night.

Lions defense provides mixed bag

In his "Week 11 Predictions" analysis, Elliot Harrison notes, "While the Packers throw their fair share of passes, they spread the ball around. Aaron Rodgers consistently gets the ball to James Jones, Randall Cobb and whoever else is open. Did I mention that Jordy Nelson could be back in the fold this Sunday? One more guy the Lions can't cover." FULL WEEK 11 PREDICTIONS

Analysis: Though the Lions have been stingy in their total passing yards allowed per game, the unit has allowed 14 passing scores compared to just five interceptions this season.

Rodgers leading Super Bowl hopes

In his "Super Bowl Contenders" analysis, NFL.com's Bucky Brooks notes, "Rodgers has been on fire since Week 4, passing for 22 touchdowns while giving up just three interceptions in six games. Those numbers are especially remarkable when one factors in injuries to Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson on the perimeter, as well as the lack of a credible running game." READ: SUPER BOWL CONTENDERS

Analysis: Rodgers could have Nelson back in the fold after the bye week. They will face off against a Lions secondary in Week 11 which ranks eighth against the pass but has allowed 12 scores compared to just five interceptions.

Rodgers (calf) completed 14-of-30 passes for 218 yards with four touchdowns and one interception Sunday against the Cardinals. He also added 33 rushing yards on eight carries.

Analysis: While the yardage numbers weren't there, Rodgers' four touchdowns certainly had to make fantasy owners happy. He threw two to Randall Cobb, one to James Jones, and another to Tom Crabtree, the latter of which was a 72-yard play to end the third quarter. Jordy Nelson, one of Rodgers' favorite targets, started the game, but was knocked out in the first quarter with an ankle injury. Nevertheless, Rodgers showed why he's an elite passer and a fantasy stud with his four scores. Fantasy owners will have to look elsewhere next week, as the Packers hit their bye week.

Rodgers continues efficient performances

Rodgers tossed four touchdowns and one interception behind a 218 yard passing day. The veteran also added 33 yards rushing on eight carries. WATCH: PACKERS HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: Rodgers will head into the bye week giving fantasy owners a solid 26.02 point performance. He will square off against the Lions in Week 11.

Rodgers (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Analysis: Rodgers was listed on the injury report with a minor calf injury, but he was a full participant in practice all week and his status for Week 9 was never really in doubt. As usual, he should be started in all leagues.

Rodgers sees falling yardage totals

"Around the League" writer Kareem Copeland notes "Rodgers is on pace to set a career-high for pass attempts by more than 50. His yardage, though, is on pace to be the second-lowest in the last four years." FULL REPORT

Analysis: It hasn't affected Rodgers fantasy value, the QB has only dipped below 22 fantasy points in three of eight games this season. After the Cardinals defense was picked apart by Alex Smith, Rodgers potential to have another 20-plus performance looks good.

Rodgers (calf) is probable for Sunday's game against Arizona, USA Today writer Tyler Dunne reports.

Analysis: Rodgers' status was never in any doubt, but here's the official confirmation of that fact. Nearly all of his owners will want him active Sunday.

Rodgers (calf) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Rodgers dealt with the ailment each of the past two weeks, playing in both contests as he racked up 528 yards and five touchdowns. Barring a setback, he should be good to go yet again versus Arizona in Week 9.

Rodgers returning to form

In his "Move the Sticks" report, NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah notes, "During the first five games of the season, the O-line allowed 21 sacks and Aaron Rodgers tossed 10 touchdown passes. Over the last three games, the offensive line has allowed just seven sacks and Rodgers has thrown 11 touchdown passes. Also, the Packers' offense has turned the ball over just one time during this three-game win streak." READ: WEEK 8 NOTES

Analysis: Rodgers brief struggles could be attributed to the time needed to adjust with Randall Cobb and James Jones. Now that they are all on the same page, fantasy owners are reaping the benefits. He was always a must-start, but you can now depend on his production levels being back where they should be.

Rodgers passed for 186 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's win over the Jaguars.

Analysis: Rodgers only had a 5.3 YPA during the game and struggled with out Jordy Nelson and Greg Jennings. Nelson should have a better chance to play next week against the Cardinals which will help.

Rodgers (calf) is active for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Without top wideouts Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson, Rodgers is still a strong play against the Jags as the Packers' running game offers little in the way of steady production, even if Green Bay is protecting a large lead in the second half.

Rodgers (calf) is probable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, USA Today writer Tyler Dunne reports.

Analysis: Rodgers' injury isn't a concern. Although Jordy Nelson (hamstring) is highly questionable, Rodgers shouldn't have any trouble Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers confident in chemistry with receivers

"I feel like I've got good chemistry with all my receivers," Rodgers said on his weekly radio show on ESPN Wisconsin, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "We spend a lot of time talking together in meetings. We watch film together after practice."

Analysis: While Jermichael Finley might be unhappy, Rodgers doesn't seem to have a problem getting the ball to Jordy Nelson, James Jones or Randall Cobb. Any idea that Rodgers isn't on the same page as his pass-catchers is much ado about nothing.

Aaron Rodgers: (Calf) Practices Fully Wednesday

Rodgers (calf) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Analysis: After tossing nine touchdowns the past two contests, Rodgers will almost certainly see the field Sunday against Jacksonville. There's nothing to see here.

Rodgers' hot-streak to continue in Week 8

In his Week 8 Power Rankings, NFL.com's Elliot Harrison notes that "over the last two weeks, Aaron Rodgers has thrown for 680 yards, nine touchdowns and zero picks, completing over 70 percent of his passes and posting a 140.8 passer rating." FULL POWER RANKINGS

Analysis: Rodgers will have a chance to continue his stellar run this week against a Jaguars team which will be without MJD and ranks 24th against the pass. He should be on the field often, which means plenty of scoring opportunities for your Packers.

Rodgers picks apart Rams

Aaron Rodgers threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns, and the Green Bay Packers' depleted defense flourished on the road, handing the St. Louis Rams their first home loss with a 30-20 victory Sunday. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: Rodgers was 30-of-37 passing against the Rams for his fourth 300-yard game this season, totaling 25.68 fantasy points for the day.

Rodgers completed 30-of-37 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Rams.

Analysis: Rodgers' calf injury clearly did not bother him much Sunday, as he dissected the St. Louis secondary. After an early touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson, Rodgers connected with Randall Cobb for both of his remaining touchdowns, with his final one being the most impressive. The reigning league MVP now has 19 touchdown passes and just four interceptions through seven games and has looked like his old self in the Packers' past two games, in particular. Next week, he faces a lousy Jaguars defense, so another monster game should be in store.

Rodgers (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: He'll be out there at the helm for the Packers on Sunday, after tossing six touchdown passes against the Texans in Week 6.

Packers' offense could build off win

During NFL Network's "Playbook" segment, Brian Baldinger and Sterling Sharpe believe Aaron Rodgers and the Packers will "go after Janoris Jenkins" with Jordy Nelson, while James Jones continues to "just do his job" as Rodgers' red-zone threat. WATCH PLAYBOOK

Analysis: After last week's performance against the equally tough Texans defense, don't be afraid of the matchup. Start your Packers, especially with the bye week allowing for limited options.

Rodgers (calf) is probable for Sunday's game against St. Louis, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writer Ty Dunne reports.

Analysis: Rodgers seemed to finally hit his stride against Houston last week, so it's needless to say that his owners need him active Sunday.

Rodgers (calf) returned to practice Thursday and appeared to be "doing most everything," Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writer Tom Silverstein reports.

Analysis: We'll have to see how the Packers officially list him come Friday, but Rodgers is clearly on track to suit up Sunday against the Rams.

Aaron Rodgers: (Calf) Expects To Play Sunday

Rodgers (calf) said Wednesday that "nothing's going to keep me out" Sunday in St. Louis, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Moreover, Rodgers said that he hurt his calf on the 11-yard touchdown run that was called back due to a holding penalty. He was limited in practice Wednesday, likely as a precaution against aggravation of the injury, but expect to see him on the field in Week 7, barring a setback.

Rodgers limited in practice

Rodgers was listed as limited for practice Wednesday, but Packers coach Mike McCarthy says it's not a "major concern." FULL REPORT

Analysis: Rodgers should be a full-go on Sunday and regardless of the matchup, he should never be on your bench.

Aaron Rodgers: (Calf) Limited Wednesday

Rodgers was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Rodgers' situation isn't a major concern, as he was able to perform throws, though he took it easy on some of them. No matter, we should learn more about the ailment as he progresses through the week.

Aaron Rodgers: Likely Dealing With Calf Injury

Rodgers may be dealing with a calf injury, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: During the media portion of practice Wednesday, Rodgers' participation level was next to none, aside from donning his helmet and throwing during individual drills. However, he didn't take any hard dropbacks from center and took some zip off his throws. We are unsure at this time whether he will show up on the Packers' injury report Wednesday, but it looks as if he'll be taking it easy this week.

Rodgers, Nelson break out vs. Texans

Don't look now, but Aaron Rodgers has clicked into that next gear. The reigning NFL MVP was completely unstoppable Sunday night, throwing a career-high six touchdown passes in a 42-24 statement victory over the previously undefeated Houston Texans. FULL RECAP ANALYSIS

Analysis: Rodgers' showing was also a breakout performance for Jordy Nelson, who racked up three touchdowns to go with 121 yards. This was the type of performance that should instill trust for Nelson owners moving forward. Consider him a solid No. 2 WR option moving forward.

Rodgers blew the Texans away Sunday night, completing 24-of-37 passes for 338 yards and six touchdowns.

Analysis: Rodgers spread the ball around with ease, even without Greg Jennings. Rodgers found Jordy Nelson for three touchdowns, James Jones for two and Tom Crabtree for the final one. Rodgers and the Packers face the Rams in Week 7, who have the seventh-ranked pass defense in the league. We expect Rodgers to throw for more than 210 yards against the Rams, which is what their defense is allowing on a per-game basis.

Rodgers takes blame

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was brutally honest about the issues slowing down the Green Bay offense. The reigning MVP took responsibility for his own play during his radio show with Jason Wilde on 540 AM in Milwaukee. READ HIS STATEMENTS

Analysis: Even with his self-described struggles, Rodgers still ranks sixth among all fantasy quarterbacks with 97.08 points. With things likely to only get better, fantasy owners should be pleased with his production thus far.

Rodgers completed 21-of-33 passes for 243 yards with three touchdowns and one interception Sunday against the Colts. He also added five carries for 57 yards.

Analysis: With Greg Jennings out, Rodgers connected with 10 different receivers, although none of them caught more than four passes. He threw two touchdowns to James Jones for the second week in a row, with Randall Cobb catching the other. Fantasy owners are used to seeing Rodgers throw for more yards, although it's tough to fault him when he still managed to have three passing touchdowns. He faces a very tough test next week against the Texans, who were giving up an average of 182.2 passing yards per game heading into Week 5.

Rodgers completed 31-of-41 passes for 319 yards and four touchdowns Sunday against the Saints.

Analysis: The Saints and Packers gave fans the expected offensive barrage and Rodgers' fantasy owners couldn't have been happier. He connected with eight different receivers and targeted Jordy Nelson the most (12 times). While wideout Greg Jennings went down with a groin injury and didn't return, Rodgers has enough weapons around him to make up for it if Jennings has to miss any time.

Rodgers rising in Power Rankings

In his latest "Offensive Power Rankings," Around The League editor Greff Rosenthal notes Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are "tied for 31st in the league in net yards-per-passing attempt with Cleveland and Jacksonville."

Analysis: Rodgers has struggled this season, but he could be primed to break out against the Saints 25th ranked pass defense.

Rodgers completed 26-of-39 passes for 223 yards and added two rushes for 17 yards Monday against the Seahawks.

Analysis: Rodgers was sacked eight times in the game (all in the first half) and hit numerous others, as the offense again failed to establish a rhythm. Despite just three touchdowns on the year, keep in mind Rodgers has faced the likes of the 49ers, Bears, and Seahawks stiff defenses the first three weeks, so he is an excellent buy-in option heading into a his Week 4 showdown against a Saints defense that is in shambles.

Rodgers completed 22-of-32 passes for 219 yards with one touchdown and one interception Thursday against the Bears.

Analysis: The Pack relied on the run game and their defense to depose of their division rival, so it was a bit of an off night for the reigning MVP's fantasy numbers. Rodgers does figure to get Greg Jennings (groin) back after the long week for Seattle in Week 3, so things are pointing toward a return to top tier numbers against the Seahawks.

Rodgers completed 30-of-44 passes for 303 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

Analysis: Rodgers also ran the ball five times for 27 yards, the latter of which led the Packers. He spread the ball around to five different receivers, all of which had at least six targets. Nevertheless, it wasn't enough against a strong 49ers defense and it doesn't get a lot easier next week when the Bears come to Lambeau.

Rodgers was 6-for-22 for 154 yards and an interception during Thursday's exhibition game.

Analysis: Rodgers did run for two touchdowns, but didn't look that sharp overall. The Green Bay offense hasn't looked all that great in three preseason games, but they've also been dealing with some injuries. It's hard to think that they won't be firing on all cylinders once the season begins.

Rodgers completed 6-of-11 passes for 59 yards and one touchdown during three series in the Packers' second preseason game on Thursday night.

Analysis: It wasn't a dazzling effort from Rodgers, but he did show that he's still got solid scrambling ability (two rushes for 24 yards) and is already gelling nicely with Jordy Nelson. There are still question marks along the team's offensive line, but Rodgers still has the skills and weapons to remain an elite signal-caller in both real and fantasy terms.

Rodgers was 2-for-8 for 16 yards and no touchdowns and one interception in the Packers' preseason opener at San Diego.

Analysis: The interception came on a fourth down play where he took a pretty good hit while in the act of throwing. After that, the coaches decided they had seen quite enough of their star quarterback and showed him where the bench was located.

Aaron Rodgers: Inactive Sunday

Rodgers is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: As a result, Matt Flynn is going to start at QB for the Packers, a clear sign that the team is going to try to protect several of its key players in Week 17.

Head coach Mike McCarthy said during a radio interview on Friday that Matt Flynn would definitely play on Sunday.

Analysis: McCarthy made it clear that getting Rodgers out of the game and getting Flynn some playing time would be part of the game plan. What he didn't say was how much Rodgers would play. In any case, it's doubtful that Rodgers would play into the second half, if even to halftime.

Rodgers finished 21-0f-29 for 283 yards and five touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Bears.

Analysis: After throwing just three touchdowns in the last two weeks combined, Rodgers blew up for five scores Sunday. For most fantasy leagues Week 16 is championship week, so Rodgers monster game came at the perfect time. Those owners who play again next week could be in trouble if counting on Rodgers, as Green Bay has locked up the top seed in the NFC and he could be rested, or see limited action. The Packers' superstar quarterback will likely be drafted number one overall in a large percentage of leagues in 2012.

Rodgers threw for 235 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

Analysis: Rodgers saved his fantasy day with a late rushing TD, but overall it was his worst game of the season. Green Bay will have everything wrapped up if the 49ers lose on Monday or next Saturday so they may choose to rest Rodgers and some other starters in the last two games.

Rodgers threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

Analysis: Rodgers was done before the fourth quarter in this blowout win. It wasn't a monster game that many were hoping for in their fantasy playoffs, but it wasn't a letdown either. He should have a decent matchup next week against the Chiefs.

Rodgers threw for 369 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Analysis: Rodgers continues to be one of the top fantasy players this season. Green Bay's leaky defense means that he'll need to keep putting up big offensive numbers each week.
