Availability
The Steelers have listed Mason Rudolph as their QB2 on the Week 1 depth chart.
Fantasy Impact
Will Howard is No. 3 and rookie Drew Allar is No. 4 on the opening depth chart as the Steelers kept all four quarterbacks on the roster.
Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said Mason Rudolph will start off taking reps with the second-team.
Fantasy Impact
Will Howard and Drew Allar will split the reps with the No. 3 team. They'll likely all continue to compete throughout training camp and into the preseason.
Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said QBs Mason Rudolph and Will Howard are splitting reps in the Steelers’ offseason program.
Fantasy Impact
Rudolph and Howard are currently leading the Steelers quarterback room with Aaron Rodgers still a free agent. It still seems very possible that Rodgers signs a deal with Pittsburgh at some point this offseason, but Howard and Rudolph will continue to see the reps for now.
Mason Rudolph completed 24-of-31 passes for 171 yards, a touchdown, and a pick in the Steelers' 31-28 loss to the Bears. He also ran three times for seven yards and lost a fumble.
Fantasy Impact
Rudolph had good accuracy in this game, great in fact. The problem was that the Steelers just don't have a downfield game, and everything was thrown short, so his completions didn't go for much of anything. That, combined with the turnovers, led to a mediocre at best fantasy day, even if the Steelers ultimately kept things close.
Mason Rudolph completed 12-of-16 passes for 127 yards with one touchdown in the Steelers 34-12 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
With Aaron Rodgers going down, Rudolph entered the game in the second half. He is slated to start in Week 12 against the Bears.
