Availability
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.
Mason Rudolph will start Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers.
Fantasy Impact
It had already been reported that Aaron Rodgers wouldn't play. The majority of the Steelers starters will remain sidelined.
The Steelers are reportedly "comfortable" heading into the 2025 season with Mason Rudolph as the team's starting quarterback.
Fantasy Impact
This could end up being the case if Pittsburgh can't land Aaron Rodgers. Rudolph signed a two-year deal last week to return to the Steelers. He has shown to have a arm, but consistency might be an issue for DK Metcalf and George Pickens.
