The Facts:
Asked last week about the the left collarbone he broke in November, Rodgers reported no problems. "It feels good," he said. "I don't have any issues."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As the Sports Xchange recently noted, the Packers felt the immense pinch of losing arguably the best player in the league when Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone on his non-throwing left side in the opening series of the Nov. 4 loss to Chicago. Fantasy owners felt the same. Counting that night, Green Bay went winless in five straight games and was on the verge of not returning to the playoffs. Yet, after missing essentially eight games because of the injury, Rodgers showed his incredible worth by returning for the regular-season finale at Chicago on Dec. 29 and throwing a clutch fourth-and-long deep ball to a wide-open Randall Cobb for a game- and NFC North-clinching touchdown in the last minute. ... This year, Rodgers will be working with a new QBs coach in Alex Van Pelt, who admits it will be challenging to coach Rodgers because there aren't a lot of things he doesn't know about playing quarterback in HC Mike McCarthy's offense. But Van Pelt is a different set of eyes with experiences Rodgers might not have had and he has things to offer.
