NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Packers QB Aaron Rodgers will be playing through a "painful" rib contusion today against the Bears. The matchup is terrific and puts Rodgers in starter consideration for fantasy football lineups. Chicago allowed Jets QB Mike White 315 yards and 3 TDs (no INTs, 1 sack) on 78.6% completions just last week. But keep the risk of Rodgers' injury in mind as you weigh him against other options near him in our Week 13 fantasy football rankings.
