Packers QB Aaron Rodgers had a decent day in Sunday's win over the Bears, but his stat line should have been better. Rodgers completed 19 of 31 passes for 252 yards, but a pair of incomplete passes proved more noteworthy. WR Davante Adams dropped 2 throws in the end zone, which would have obviously improved the fantasy lines significantly for both players. As it was, Adams caught just 2 of 6 targets for 25 yards. He finished 3rd on the team in targets and tied for 3rd in receptions. Adams has seen just 6 targets in 4 of his past 5 games (with 7 in the other) and averaged 3 receptions per game over that span. He's an iffy fantasy option for Week 16 against a Vikings defense that held him to a 3-26 line back in Week 2.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (calf) is active for today’s game against the Bears. He’s not at 100% — a situation complicated by the fact that it’s currently 6 degrees in Chicago. There’s more risk here than usual, but Rodgers has simply been too good to bench at this point of the season.

The forecast for today's Packers-Bears game calls for a temperature of 6 degrees with winds of 10-20 mph. The wind chill could sink as low as -13. That's cold. Expect more running than usual from both sides. We're still expecting Green Bay's passing game to be effective. WR Alshon Jeffery is the only piece of the Bears' passing game that should be in fantasy lineups.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (calf) will play against the Bears today. "He’ll be watched closely," Rapoport adds. Rodgers obviously isn't at 100% and is at some risk of an in-game aggravation. But the only QBs we'd consider benching him for would be Matt Ryan and Kirk Cousins.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears. He didn't practice all week. Rodgers clearly isn't at 100% but is fully expected to play on Sunday. The calf issue adds some risk -- especially with sub-zero temperatures forecasted for Chicago -- but he remains a must start in a tough week at QB.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (calf) admits that he won't be at 100% for this weekend's game against the Bears. "It'll be about pain management on Sunday, but the good thing is I'll be out there," he said. "I'll be out there and ready." Rodgers tweaked that calf on the 3rd play of last week's game but still chucked for 246 yards and 3 TDs. The injury obviously adds some risk to his Week 15 outlook -- especially with a high of -1 degrees currently forecasted for Chicago on Sunday -- but Rodgers remains a solid QB1.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers injured his calf in Sunday's win over the Seahawks, he told Fox's Erin Andrews afterward. Rodgers has been dealing with a bum hamstring and believes the calf was a compensation injury. He was pulled in the 4th quarter, but that seemed to have more to do with the score than the injury. Rodgers should be play against the Bears next Sunday -- albeit with limited mobility -- but we'll keep a close eye on him throughout the week.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers tossed 3 TD passes on just 18-of-23 passing in Sunday's win over the Seahawks. He totaled 246 yards while taking just 1 sack. Rodgers admitted after the game that he hurt his right calf on the game's initial 3rd down. Rodgers played through it until Green Bay pulled him for Brett Hundley in the 4th quarter with a large lead. Rodgers told FOX's Erin Andrews that it'll be a "long week of rehab" but also vowed not to miss a game. He'll be in fantasy lineups as long as he hasn't underestimated the issue.

1-3 inches of snow is expected in Green Bay today, but winds will be at just 4-8 mph. Those aren't ideal conditions, but we're not expecting weather to have a major impact on the Seahawks or the Packers, who both have experience playing in crappy weather.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Texans. He was limited in practice all week and probably won’t be at 100% today. But Rodgers is still safe to keep in fantasy lineups as a high-end QB1.

The forecast for today's Texans-Packers game calls for 1-3 inches of snow. Wind won't be a major factor, though, at just 5-10 mph. Green Bay's passing game is safe to keep in fantasy lineups. There's nothing safe about Houston's passing game, but that has nothing to do with the weather.

The Packers listed QB Aaron Rodgers (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after a limited week of practice. He's in no danger of missing this one, although it looks like he'll be at less than 100%. That dings his fantasy outlook a bit, but Rodgers remains an elite fantasy play.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers tweaked his hamstring in Monday night's win over the Eagles. He didn't miss any snaps but was noticeably hobbled. Rodgers isn't concerned about his status moving forward, though. "I'll be good to go," he said after the game, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Reduced mobility would lower Rodgers' fantasy ceiling a bit. He's averaged 26 rushing yards per game this year. But he'll still be a high-end QB1 vs. the Texans this weekend.

The forecast for tonight's Packers-Redskins game calls for 17-18 mph winds with gusts of 40+. That's certainly bad news for Ks Mason Crosby and Dustin Hopkins. We also made slight adjustments down to our projections for both passing games.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers said the knee he had surgery on shortly after his team's playoff loss "feels great."  He's back on the golf course and "walking normally."  Rodgers described the procedure as a "scope" and confirmed that it was "clean-up of an old injury."  We'll continue to keep an eye on him, but there's no reason to believe the knee will be an issue in 2016.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers had knee surgery shortly after the team's playoff loss to the Cardinals, according to ESPN's Jason Wilde and Rob Demovsky.  A source described the procedure as "cleanup of an old injury."  Rodgers was never listed on the injury report with a knee this year.  He did have reconstructive surgery way back in 2004 to repair a torn ACL that Rodgers said he suffered playing basketball in high school.  It's unclear, though, if this latest surgery is related.  Wilde and Demovsky hear that Rodgers is expected to be ready for offseason workouts in April, barring any setbacks.  

The Packers will play without LT David Bakhtiari (ankle), who is inactive against Washington. That takes away the blindside protector for QB Aaron Rodgers, while RT Bryan Bulaga is playing through his own ankle sprain. Of course, with this being the last game of the weekend, you're probably not making any fantasy lineup changes at this point. We'll see how big an impact Bakhtiari's absence has in pass protection and the run game vs. a soft Washington rush D.

The forecast for today's Cowboys-Packers game calls for an 80% chance of rain with 11-14 mph winds.  It's not quite enough for us to move any guys in this game in the Week 14 rankings, but use the weather as a tiebreaker.  This could turn into a run-heavy game on both sides.
