Leicester City will be looking to add a proper striker to back up veteran Jamie Vardy in the summer transfer window.
The 34-year-old has been the focal point of the Foxes attack, but has suffered from injury problems this season.
Leicester have felt his absence, and Rodgers believes the time is right for the team to dip into the market in the summer to sign someone who can compete with Vardy and deputize for him when needed.
"Jamie is still, when he's fit and playing, up there with the best strikers in the league, but when you're playing the number of games we want to play and anticipate playing, then you need more than one," said the Foxes boss to reporters.
"We've got Kels (Kelechi Iheanacho) who has been a great support striker. He hasn't played so much and perhaps hasn't got the goals he would have wanted.
"But you always have to plan forward and that's something we look at here at the club, in every position, not just the striking position. It's constant, you always have to be planning forward and looking forward.
"We know Jamie's age. I still have great confidence in his fitness and his abilities but he can't do it all on his own. We respect that. That's something that will be continual over the next few months looking ahead to the summer market."
