There was a slim chance that Aaron Rodgers would play Sunday night at New England. You can now move that chance from slim to none. The Packers' QB has been officially ruled out by the team. Rodgers didn't practice all week as he dealt with his second concussion of the season. He was listed as doubtful on the injury report after Friday's practice. No details were given about the progress Rodgers made during the week or how close he was to playing, but he must not have been too close because team doctors never cleared him. Matt Flynn will get his first career start under less-than-ideal circumstances. He replaced Rodgers after he sustained the concussion in the second quarter. He led the offense to just one field goal as the Pack lost to the Lions, 7-3. He completed 15 of 26 passes for 177 yards and an interception last week.

Fantasy Analysis:

Quick takeaway: Start your Patriots defense and bench all of your Packers except Greg Jennings . I'll admit that I'm worried about Jennings this week, but he's too good of a player to be benched in 12-team leagues that start three wide receivers. At the very least, he going to see a ton of targets as the Packers will most likely be trailing early and often in this game.
