The Green Bay Packers are calling Aaron Rodgers questionable to face the Chicago Bears in Week 15.
Rodgers is battling a calf injury suffered in Week 14, and that led to him not practicing at all this week. He looks like a game-time decision for Sunday with the expectation he plays. Rodgers is also dealing with a hamstring injury suffered in Week 12.
Entering Week 15, Rodgers ranks first in fantasy points scored among quarterbacks this season. His improved play as the season has wore on helped carried Green Bay to a 7-6 record after starting 4-6.
That should continue against a Bears defense that has been stout vs. quarterbacks this season but does not have enough to contain the Packers offense.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Rodgers as the second-best quarterback in Week 15. He faces a Bears defense allowing the ninth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.
There is no question you will keep Rodgers in your starting lineup if he plays, but make sure you have a backup just in case.
