  Texans | Houston claims Amari Rodgers    Wed Nov 16, 01:30 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Amari Rodgers was claimed off waivers by the Houston Texans on Wednesday, Nov. 16, per source.

Footballguys view: Rodgers didn't do much in his time with the Packers, but it's not a surprise that some team would take a chance on him via waivers. A third-round pick out of Clemson in the 2021 NFL draft, Rodgers was mostly a special teams player in Green Bay. So far this season, Rodgers only has eight targets for four catches and 50 yards. We'll keep monitoring him in dynasty formats, and we'll have to see if the Texans expand his role on offense.

  Packers | Amari Rodgers let go    Tue Nov 15, 01:02 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Amari Rodgers was waived Tuesday, Nov. 15.

Footballguys view: Rodgers was a third-round pick out of Clemson in the 2021 NFL draft. He hasn't shown much on film in the pros outside of a propensity to fumble on limited touches. Some team might be willing to take a chance on his receiver/return man skill set.

  Packers | WR Rodgers Looking to Expand Role    Tue Jul 12, 03:19 PM

Alberto Camargo, from Knox News, reports Green Bay Packers WR Amari Rodgers is trying to work himself into a larger role on the team's offense.

Footballguys view: Rodgers has been practicing all over the formation for the Packers this offseason. That versatility makes him an interesting chess piece for the Packers. He's buried on the depth chart, roughly no.4 or no.5 for the Packers behind Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Sammy Watkins, and Christian Watson. That means only dynasty GMs should be monitoring Rodgers at this time.

  Packers | Amari Rodgers gaining confidence    Sat May 21, 03:45 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Amari Rodgers is gaining confidence ahead of his second season, wide receivers coach Jason Vrable said. 'He's taking those steps right now. I feel really good about Amari,' Vrable said. '[Randall Cobb] bumped me the other day and was like, 'Yo, you can feel it from him.' I just smiled. It's just the start right now.'

Footballguys view: Rodgers, a third-round pick out of Clemson in the 2021 NFL draft, is buried on the Packers depth chart but he's got ability with the ball in his hands. He played 103 snaps last year on offense, and Rodgers finished his rookie season with just four catches for 45 yards. He's a slot receiver, return man and gadget player who was underutilized last season. Rodgers has plenty of talent ahead of him on the depth chart, so a larger role may not be in the cards for him in 2023. However, in dynasty formats we'll still keep track of him.

  Packers | Amari Rodgers signs rookie contract    Fri Jul 23, 01:03 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Amari Rodgers on Friday, July 23, signed his four-year rookie contract with the team, according to a post on his Instagram page. Financial terms were unavailable.

Footballguys view: Rodgers has a similar game to Randall Cobb, whose best years came with Aaron Rodgers. If the Packers get Rodgers to report to the team to throw to Rodgers, Rodgers could have a strong rookie year and emerge as one of the primary options in the passing game.

  Packers | Amari Rodgers dynamic in the slot    Sun May 9, 10:09 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Amari Rodgers led college football with 25 catches of at least 15 yards out of the slot in 2020, according to Pro Football Focus.

Footballguys view: Rodgers has experience lining up in the slot and out wide, but in the slot is where he should shine in the NFL. He's built like a running back and plays like one after the catch. Rodgers also has great speed to attack the seam from the slot. We'd be a lot more excited about Rodgers in 2021 if we knew who his quarterback was going to be. Aaron Rodgers may force his way out of Green Bay and that would be a big negative for all Packers offensive players.

Footballguys view: Rodgers brings a Randall Cobb-like skill set to the field for the Packers. He's built like a running back and plays like one after the catch. Rodgers has good straight-line speed and can be reliable and trusted.

  NFL | Amari Rodgers works out at Pro Day    Thu Mar 11, 05:10 PM

Clemson WR Amari Rodgers posted an unofficial time of 4.51 seconds in the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day Thursday, March 11. He also posted a 33-inch vertical jump and 10-foot-1 broad jump.

Footballguys view: Rodgers is a slot receiver who is built like a running back. He'll toy with defenders after the catch and is very agile with the rock in his hands. Rodgers needs to better run the full route tree, but there's certainly a lot to like about his game. He should be a mid-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft.
