New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is looking for a much more memorable season in 2024 than he did in 2023. His 2023 season only lasted four plays because Rodgers tore his Achilles. The Jets were a circus after that game. Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle also started games for them last season with Rodgers being sidelined due to an injury.
They have missed the playoffs for the last 13 seasons and have not been there since 2010. That season, the New York Jets were in the AFC Championship Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mark Sanchez was the quarterback for the Jets then.
They are looking to compete for a championship with Aaron Rodgers at the helm. It won’t be easy for them considering that they have to compete with the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills within their division.
Jason Katz Of Pro Football Network Makes Bold Fantasy Football Prediction About New York Jets Quarterback Aaron Rodgers
Jason Katz of Pro Football Network made a bold prediction for fantasy football for each NFL team. For the Jets, he thinks Aaron Rodgers is finished and that Garrett Wilson will not perform well this season because of it. Katz said:
“I have zero doubts about Garrett Wilson’s talent. He is as good as everyone thinks, but he can’t overcome poor QB play. Very few can.
For the past two seasons, Wilson has been unable to realize his potential with Zach Wilson under center. This year, he’s finally poised to get a healthy Aaron Rodgers…or is he?
Rodgers is 40 years old. He’s coming off a torn Achilles, and when we last saw him play, he was pretty mediocre throwing to a similar group of receivers that Jordan Love was able to thrive with last season in Green Bay.
What if it’s over for Rodgers?
The Jets are insulated better than they were last year now that they have Tyrod Taylor as the backup QB. However, Taylor is not about to propel Wilson to the WR1 season his ADP suggests he will have.”
Even if Rodgers is finished, Tyrod Taylor is a reliable backup quarterback and he would be able to get the football to Garrett Wilson. Two seasons ago with the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers completed 64.6% of his passes for 3,695 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
Even with the quarterback dysfunction last season for the New York Jets, Garrett Wilson caught 95 passes for 1,042 yards receiving, and three touchdowns, along with averaging 11.0 yards per catch. He was targeted 168 times last season. Wilson is a very special talent and will get his touches no doubt. However, Rodgers won’t be like he was in the past, but he is not finished.
