Mason Rudolph
QB - Pittsburgh Steelers
Availability
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.
The Steelers signed QB Mason Rudolph to a two-year, $8 million contract.
Fantasy Impact
Rudolph returns to Pittsburgh who drafted him where he will receive $4.5 million in guaranteed money. He will likely be the backup to whoever the starter is.
Mason Rudolph completed seven of his nine passes for 70 yards and added a five-yard rush in a 23-14 loss to the Texans in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Rudolph and Will Levis rotated snaps in the season finale, although Levis got more work as he attempted 17 passes. With the Titans' loss, they locked up the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft and could be looking at selecting a quarterback. Rudolph is slated to become an unrestricted free-agent this offseason but he is likely to land somewhere as a backup after turning in a solid season for the Titans.
Titans coach Brian Callahan says QBs Will Levis and Mason Rudolph will both play in Sunday’s finale against the Texans.
Fantasy Impact
Levis will return from a two-game absence where Rudolph started both games. It is unclear how long they will both play.
