From the article

Rodgers, who has not been able to complete big passing plays in recent seasons, had only one pass play for more than 20 yards against Atlanta, but he didn't throw an interception and was sacked just twice. He played a mistake-free game, but because of his inability to get the ball downfield, Rodgers is pretty much an injury replacement or bye week fill-in at this point.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Rodgers' limited downfield production caps fantasy ceiling despite mistake-free game.

Rodgers completed 24 of 40 passes for 225 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions in Week 1 against Atlanta, playing mistake-free but with limited downfield production—only one pass play exceeded 20 yards. The source characterizes his inability to get the ball downfield as a persistent recent-season trend, positioning him as an injury replacement or bye week fill-in rather than a reliable fantasy starter.
