Aaron Rodgers Week 16 Outlook - Steelers at Lions

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 18th 2025, 1:35pm EST

Aaron Rodgers is the QB24 in fantasy points per game as he continues to play low aDOT point guard for Pittsburgh. Among 44 qualifying quarterbacks, he still has the lowest aDOT (6.0) and the highest percentage of his passing yards from yards after the catch (67.3%) while ranking 21st in yards per attempt, tenth in passing touchdowns (tied), and 25th in passing yards per game. Since Week 11, Detroit's pass defense has been horrible, giving up the most passing yards per game, the third-highest yards per attempt, the fourth-most passing touchdowns, and the 12th-highest success rate per dropback. They might surprise this week, though. Overall, this defense has allowed the fourth-lowest yards after the catch and the third-fewest missed tackles, which strikes at the core of the Pittsburgh passing offensive design. Rodgers is a QB2 again this week.
