Rodgers completed 39 of 56 passes for 326 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in Thursday's 26-10 victory over the Bears. He also gained seven yards on two rushes and lost a fumble.
EDGE Analysis
For at least one night. Rodgers was able to put forth the type of performance that will help silence some of his recent critics. Granted, his impressive yardage was the product of an atypical and unsustainable 56 throws, meaning the All-Pro signal-caller averaged only 5.8 yards per attempt. However, given the makeshift condition of the Packers' backfield, Rodgers responded to having a heavier-than-usual workload placed on his shoulders by finding Davante Adams for a whopping 13 receptions and a pair of touchdowns and Randall Cobb for another 11 catches for 95 yards and a score. Factoring in Ty Montgomery's 10 grabs, Rodgers targeted the trio a total of 44 times, completing 34 of those passes. Surprisingly, Jordy Nelson only saw four looks from Rodgers, as he focused on a short-to-intermediate passing game that worked to near perfection. While Thursday's path to a win was fairly unorthodox from a passing game perspective, Rodgers will try to build on his positive momentum when he and the Packers take on the Falcons in a Week 8 showdown.

Rodgers completed 31 of 42 pass attempts for 294 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He also lost a fumble in the 30-16 loss.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers was quite efficient and tossed for a season-high in yardage, but two turnovers-- a fumble at the opponent's four-yard line and an interception near midfield-- proved to be crucial to the outcome of the game. He has struggled to consistently produce numbers this season that are comparable to those that have made him a fantasy force over the last several years and will look to break out next week versus the division-rival Bears.

Rodgers completed 23 of 45 passes for 259 yards, with two touchdowns, two interceptions and 17 rushing yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers turned in a rare inefficient home performance against a solid Big Blue defense, but he still managed a decent fantasy outing thanks to his team's dominance of possession. He was unusually out of sync with top receiver Jordy Nelson, who caught just four passes for 38 yards and a touchdown on a team-high 13 targets. While yet to turn in a true clunker, Rodgers also hasn't had any of the huge games that were so frequent prior to last season. Even last week's four-touchdown outing wasn't overwhelming from a fantasy standpoint, as he only threw for 205 yards, limited by a lack of second-half volume. Rodgers has mostly come through for his team when needed most, but it's impossible not to worry about his sub-60 completion percentage and sub-7.0 YPA. It can no longer be assumed that it's merely a matter of time before he starts to put up the kind of elite numbers that were taken for granted from 2011 to 2014. However, it also isn't out of the question, and he will be back at Lambeau Field the next two weeks, first facing the Cowboys and then taking on the Bears.

Rodgers completed 15-of-24 passes for 205 yards and four touchdowns and added five rushes for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-27 over the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers and the Packers got exactly the start they needed Sunday, scoring touchdowns on four of their first five drives. All of them were passing touchdowns, and the offense seemed to be in the groove that has come to be expected from a Rodgers-led offense. The star quarterback hooked up with Jordy Nelson twice in the first half and the two looked to be very much on the same page. The second half was a different story, as Rodgers attempted only six passes after halftime, completing three of them for 31 yards. Still, it was an encouraging performance from the quarterback after a poor Week 2 effort in Minnesota. The Packers will have a bye in Week 4 before hosting the Giants at Lambeau on Oct. 9.

Rodgers completed 20 of 36 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, while turning three carries into 29 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 17-14 defeat at Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Passing lines like Sunday's have become the norm for Rodgers since the start of the 2015 campaign. Without Jordy Nelson for its entirety, Rodgers posted career lows in quarterback rating (92.7) and 300-yard games (three) among his eight seasons as the Packers' starter. With Nelson back in the saddle this year, miscommunication has reigned, as the duo has connected on just 11 of 20 passes through two games. Meanwhile, Rodgers has managed just 57-percent passing and 412 yards, looking flummoxed with regularity. His hesitance resulted in five sacks and three fumbles Sunday, including one lost on a promising Packers drive with seven minutes remaining in the contest. The team's final possession ended in similar fashion, with a misplaced ball falling perfectly into the waiting arms of Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes just after the two-minute warning. Rodgers didn't see the ball again, but his next chance to bounce back arrives next Sunday versus the Lions.

Rodgers completed 20 of 34 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He added another 16 yards and a touchdown via four carries.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers and company failed to generate big plays Sunday, making just two plays of over 22 yards, but they committed no turnovers and capitalized on field position to grind out a road win versus an improved Jags team. Rodgers notably connected with Jordy Nelson in the end zone and scored on a six-yard scramble in the first quarter-- two things that have helped him establish an extremely stable floor for production in recent seasons. He will look to build on a strong start next week versus Minnesota.

Rodgers will not play in the Packers' preseason finale against the Chiefs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers sat out Green Bay's first two preseason games before seeing two drives against the 49ers last week. The Packers don't want to risk the star quarterback getting hurt and will instead lean on rookies Joe Callahan and Marquise Williams to handle quarterback duties for the majority of the game.

Rodgers completed 6-of-9 passes for 60 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' preseason game with the 49ers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers played two drives Thursday, and was able to find paydirt on one of them. He is unlikely to play in the Packers' final exhibition game, but he looked in his limited action last week, so consider him good to go for Week 1.

Rodgers (rest) will play in Friday's Week 3 matchup against the 49ers, Bob Holtzman of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers has not played yet this preseason, as the Packers have opted to keep their star quarterback off the field in exhibition games. However, Rodgers will play Friday, but he is not expected to play more than one quarter. Head coach Mike McCarthey is likely looking to simply get Rodgers some game reps prior to the regular season.

Rodgers seems likely to play in Friday's preseason game against the 49ers, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers was seen in practice taking all the snaps with the Packers' starting offense, which is a change after he worked with the scout team during the first two weeks of the preseason, when he sat out both of Green Bay's games. Since Rodgers will probably also be rested for the team's preseason finale, Friday's contest likely represents his lone opportunity to get some game action under his belt before the regular season, so his involvement with the starters in practice certainly seems to suggest he's preparing for just that.
