Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers sustained a hamstring injury in Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, but said after the game that the injury will not force him to miss any time. Obviously, it's a bit early to be saying something like that, but if anyone knows the severity of the injury right now, it's probably the QB.
Aaron Rodgers says he won’t miss time with hamstring injury; fantasy owners shouldn’t panic
Aaron Rodgers has a hamstring injury, but says it won’t cause him to miss any time. We break down the fantasy implications.

The Packers fell to the New Orleans Saints, 44-23, on Sunday. Rodgers sustained his injury in the third quarter and there was no real chance for the Packers to win it after that point. That said, the Packers have a bye week, so Rodgers’ prediction doesn’t sound too crazy at this point. It’s unclear if Rodgers would miss any time if Green Bay didn’t have a bye week.
Fantasy Impact: Rodgers is one of the top quarterbacks in the league, but for now, fantasy owners shouldn't be concerned. Rodgers is confident and will likely sit out of any bye week practices, and possibly even the early practices prior to Green Bay's Week 10 game against the Chicago Bears. For now, there's no need to panic.
