Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (toe) said he suffered 'setback'

Dec 13, 2021

All the healing done by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers during the bye week might have been erased on Sunday night against the Chicago Bears.

Rodgers, who threw four touchdown passes, said he believes he suffered a setback with his fractured left pinky toe during the Packers’ 45-30 win.

Asked if the toe felt better coming out of the bye and after Sunday night’s game, Rodgers replied, “No, it feels worse.”

“I don’t know what kind of setback that I had tonight but we’ll look at it tomorrow. But definitely took a step back tonight,” Rodgers said.

Fantasy Impact:

We could hear more later today about just how much of a setback Rodgers suffered. Rodgers opted not to have surgery over the bye week but said that option still wasn't off the table as recently as last week. The belief is, Rodgers could have the surgery and not miss any time, which was a big requirement if he opted to go under the knife.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
