Rodgers caught six passes for 45 yards in Sunday's victory over the Rams.
Rodgers' yardage output was minimal, but he set season highs in receptions and targets for the second week in a row. He has just 155 receiving yards through five games, but he appears to be gaining more of a footing in the Packers' offense.

Rodgers caught 5-of-6 targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-3 win at San Francisco.
Rodgers opened the scoring for the Packers with his nine-yard touchdown six minutes into the game. On the play, Aaron Rodgers improvised and bought time to allow Richard Rodgers to get free in the back of the end zone. With Andrew Quarless (knee) out for a couple of months, Richard Rodgers should continue to see plenty of snaps, and has some upside in one of the best offenses in the NFC.

Rodgers caught two passes for 15 yards in Monday's victory over the Chiefs.
Rodgers caught two of the four balls thrown his way and has secured eight of his 11 targets this season, but he has yet to top 38 yards in a game in 2015. It's looking like his fantasy contributions will be minimal on a week-to-week basis unless he is able to find the end zone like he did in Week 2.

Rodgers caught three passes for 23 yards and a touchdown on four targets in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Seahawks.
Rodgers started and played most of the snaps for a second straight week, out-snapping Andrew Quarless 48-18, according to Pro Football Focus. He's still only the fourth or fifth option in Green Bay's passing game, but as the starting tight end in a high-powered offense, Rodgers could score a surprising number of touchdowns this season. The Packers will face the Chiefs on Monday Night Football in Week 3.
Thu Sep 17 201516:23Rodgers (neck) wasn't listed on Packers' injury report Thursday
Rodgers (neck) wasn't listed on the Packers' injury report Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Rodgers was seen talking with team trainers after a tackling drill Thursday, and it was presumed that the tight end may have injured his neck. Upon the release of the practice report, though, he didn't make an appearance, which clears away that potential concern. Expect Rodgers to slot into the starting TE spot yet again versus the Seahawks on Sunday night.
Thu Sep 17 201514:04Rodgers appeared to injure neck at Thursday's practice
Rodgers appeared to injure his neck at Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
In the midst of a tackling drill, Rodgers came down with the potential ailment and was evaluated by the Packers' training staff. He remained on the field, though, so his activity level won't be known until head coach Mike McCarthy meets with the media. In Week 1, Rodgers earned a larger share of the tight-end reps -- 37 of the 60 offensive snaps, versus 24 for Andrew Quarless -- which could be thrown into flux if the neck concern lingers.

Rodgers had three receptions for 27 yards and had one carry for 11 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
Rodgers was targeted just three times in Week 1, but he started at tight end, played 13 more snaps than backup Andrew Quarless, and was the only Packers tight end to catch a pass. Rodgers had a chance to be the third option among Packers pass catchers in the wake of Jordy Nelson's knee injury, but wideout James Jones made clear Sunday that he will fill that role. Rodgers has some fantasy value as the top tight end in one of the league's best passing attacks, but it's unlikely he will receive enough targets to provide consistent production.

Rodgers caught one pass, on two targets, for 10 yards in a preseason loss to the Eagles on Saturday.
With Aaron Rodgers and Scott Tolzien inactive for precautionary reasons, Rodgers was left trying to catch passes from third-string QB Brett Hundley. Not surprisingly, the rookie QB was overmatched against the Eagles' first-string defense and had difficulties getting the ball to any of his receivers. Even with his quiet performance against the Eagles, it's looking like Rodgers will start at tight end when the regular season rolls around, and he could be in line for a spike in red-zone production with Jordy Nelson (knee) done for the season.

Rodgers caught three passes for 30 yards and scored a touchdown in a preseason loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Rodgers made two nice catches during a two-minute drive led by backup quarterback Scott Tolzien, one of which led to a score with 12 seconds left in the first half. Both head coach Mike McCarthy and QB Aaron Rodgers were complimentary of the second-year tight end following the game, with the latter suggesting that the 23-year-old tight end is an ascending player. With wideout Jordy Nelson having suffered a potentially serious knee injury, there could be some added red zone opportunities in the Packers' passing offense, some of which could end up going to Rodgers, who is listed as the Green Bay's No. 1 tight end on the team's posted depth chart.
Tue Aug 18 201513:59Rodgers has passed Andrew Quarless for playing time
Rodgers has passed Andrew Quarless for playing time, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The two tight ends split snaps last season, but it appears Rodgers could have the No. 1 job to himself this time around. Although he still profiles as no better than the fourth or fifth option in the passing game, Rodgers could be a semi-frequent visitor to the end zone if he's getting consistent snaps in a high-powered offense.

Rodgers remains in line to compete with Andrew Quarless for the Packers' starting tight end job, NFL.com reports.
The report also relays that the Packers have no plans to release Quarless, after he was charged with misdemeanor discharging a firearm in public on July 4. In any case, whether Quarless ends up facing NFL discipline or not, Rodgers is a candidate to see an uptick in production in 2015, following the 20/225/2 stat line that he recorded as a rookie last season. As prolific as Green Bay's passing game is, the presence of talented wideouts Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams limits Rodgers' target volume and upside to a degree, but it remains plausible that the second-year tight end could emerge on the fantasy radar this coming season with a break or two in his favor.

Rodgers caught five passes for 35 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.
The Packers' season did not end on a high note, but Rodgers' did to some degree, as he caught 12 passes over the team's final four games (including the playoffs) after catching just 13 prior to that. He spent most of his rookie season as the Packers' backup tight end, but expect him to make a strong push for the starting job during the offseason.

Rodgers caught one pass for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Cowboys.
Rodgers made the most of his lone opportunity in Sunday's game, catching a bullet from quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the fourth quarter that put the Packers ahead for good. The tight end Rodgers made an impact in the Packers' last two games, but he figures to often be used as an extra blocker in the Packers' NFC Championship game matchup with the Seahawks.

Rodgers caught five passes for 40 yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.
Rodgers did not start Sunday's game, but he played 31 snaps to starting tight end Andrew Quarless' 25, and also out-targeted Quarless five to zero. Quarless tallied just 24 total receiving yards in the season's final three games, so Rodgers looks like the better option of the two for those in playoff leagues.

Rodgers caught two passes for 13 yards in Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers.
Rodgers landed himself on the score sheet for the first time since Week 12, but his production was still minimal. He remains the second tight end option on a team that rarely uses them, so he won't be more than a dart in Week 17.
Tue Dec 9 201413:52Rodgers did not catch pass in Monday's victory over Falcons
Rodgers did not catch a pass in Monday's victory over the Falcons.
Rodgers had scored in two straight games entering Monday's contest, but he did not catch a pass, and did not even record an official target. He will look to get back on the score sheet in Week 15, but that will not come easy against a Bills team that has excelled at shutting down opposing tight ends this season.

Rodgers caught two passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Patriots.
Rodgers played on just 40 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps Sunday, but he managed to find the end zone for the second straight week. Though his fantasy value is trending upward, beware that he and the Packers will take on an Atlanta team in Week 14 that has allowed just two touchdowns to tight ends all season.
Mon Nov 24 201409:48Rodgers caught one-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's victory over ...
Rodgers caught a one-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's victory over the Vikings.
Rodgers did not catch another pass in the game, but he made the most of his lone opportunity by finding paydirt for the first time in his career. Rodgers is a bit player in the Packers' offense, but he has picked up his production in recent weeks: nine of his 11 receptions, 85 of his 137 receiving yards, and his lone touchdown came in his last five games.
Mon Nov 10 201417:51Rodgers caught two passes for six yards in Sunday's victory over...
Rodgers caught two passes for six yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
Rodgers was the lone Packers tight end not to score Sunday, as position mates Andrew Quarless and Brandon Bostick both found paydirt. Rodgers was listed as a starter Sunday, but he is second on the depth chart behind Quarless and in front of Bostick.

Rodgers caught four passes for 58 yards in Sunday's loss to the Saints.
Rodgers set career highs in both receptions and receiving yards in Sunday's game despite being on the field for just 50 percent of the snaps. Though his outing his encouraging for his fantasy prospects moving forward, it should be noted that he totaled just 53 yards in seven games prior to Sunday's contest.
