Hate to be the link police, but link to "all the news" that he might play? All news seems to point to a GTD....

The only source saying he will play is Mike Lombardi at the National Football Post:The word we are hearing out of Green Bay is that Aaron Rodgers will play this Sunday. All of his teammates believe he will go.

would you still start him if you had A. Johnson?

Exactly.

and unlike some other WRs who struggle with new QBs, Gennings is as dangerous on short slants as he is on deep patterns (like last year takign 5 yard passes 60 yards for a TD)

The question is not his status but is anyone playing Rogers or Jennings if Rogers is a go. If Rogers is playing, is there a chance his shoulder will hold up for the entire game.

I have the Combo in 2 leagues and I'm starting Jennings in both no matter what. You'd think that even if Rodgers doesn't go, the Falcons would be hell bent on stopping the run forcing the QB to beat them, possibly allowing Jennings some 1 on 1 stuff deep. Will I start Rodgers? Possibly but I'm going to need to be convinced he's healthy enough to finish. So to me, that means hearing some good things for either Rodgers or the coaches and then visually watching him warm up prior to the game. Then, I good possibly go with him but as of right now, I have Hasselbeck penciled in my starting lineup and if I don't see or hear what I mentioned above, I'll hope for a shootout with the Giants.

Just my opinion, since he's going to be a GTD I don't think they're gonna want to risk him further injury and be out for a longer period of time. I don't think they'll play him but you still have to start Jennings. I have Jennings but I managed to get Marshall and T.O. before the season. If Rodgers doesn't play I think you have to temper the expectations for Jennings some but he's still talented enough to produce good numbers if he gets the targets. Everything I've seen says that Grant is finally healthy and the Packers may run the ball all they can against Atlanta and take the ball outta Flynn's hands which will hurt Jennings production. He's still a must start every week regardless of who the QB is. I just think the Pack would be wise not to play Rodgers this week and try and win the game on the ground. I have Grant in a couple of leagues so I've been waiting for him to take off. Hopefully this'll be the week.

Got them both and I'm starting AJ over Jennings. Other 2 are Marshall and Calvin Johnson. Of course, I could change my mind by gametime.

No kidding. He can take a 4 yard pass to the house. He can make defenders look silly.

Have Jennings in two leagues and starting him in both. One of those leagues I also have Rodgers. Figured I'd mitigate the risk and bench him for Garrard in that league.
