Amari Rodgers
WR -
Week 12 Outlook
Availability
Amari Rodgers has been waived by the Indianapolis Colts.
Fantasy Impact
The Colts took a shot on Rodgers after the Packers released him, but he didn't perform well enough to earn a roster spot and is now being released. It isn't clear if he will sign back to the practice squad or find another home, but either way, he holds very little fantasy value for this year.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, free agent WR and returner Amari Rodgers has signed a deal with the Indianapolis Colts, replacing WR Johnny King who will be released.
Fantasy Impact
Rodgers spent his first season and a half in Green Bay where he struggled to see north of 15% of the team's snaps. He was released halfway through 2022 and was subsequently claimed by the Houston Texans. Across his six games in Houston, he played roughly half the team's snaps and saw work as a slot receiver. Rodgers only has 20 career catches for 249 yards compared to his 40 career punt returns. With CB/returner Isaiah Rodgers Sr. out for the season on gambling policy violations, the Colts can give the other Rodgers the returner responsibilities in 2023. However, he'll probably struggle to beat out WRs Josh Downs and Isaiah McKenzie for slot snaps and targets.
Amari Rodgers caught both of his targets for 12 yards and added four rushing yards on one attempt in a loss to Jacksonville.
Fantasy Impact
Rodgers appears to be carving out a role in the Texans’ offense since being acquired from Green Bay. Rodgers could factor into the offense in 2023, but fantasy managers can leave Rodgers on waivers ahead of Week 18.
Amari Rodgers caught one of his two targets for 37 yards in a Week 16 win over the Titans.
Fantasy Impact
Rodgers has played will in a limited sample size since joining Houston. The 23-year-old has a chance to carve out a role in this rebuilding offense in the future, but fantasy managers should stay away for now.
Amari Rodgers caught two of his three targets for 26 yards in a Week 15 loss to Kansas City.
Fantasy Impact
Rodgers has performed well in his two games since joining the Texans. The 23-year-old has six receptions on eight targets with one touchdown through two games with his new team. Rodgers can safely be left on the waiver wire.
