Aaron Rodgers
QB - Pittsburgh Steelers
2025 Outlook
Availability
Since the start of the 2022 season, Aaron Rodgers has finished as a top-12 QB in just six games - with only one top-6 finish. A-Rod has surpassed 300 passing yards just twice since Week 14 of the 2021 season. Now entering his age-41 season, Rodgers offers virtually no rushing value to buoy his fantasy floor. Last year with the Jets, Rodgers finished as the QB15 overall and QB18 in points per game (15.1), despite throwing for nearly 3,900 yards and 28 touchdowns. That offense also ranked top 5 in passing volume. It's unlikely Arthur Smith's run-heavy scheme in Pittsburgh comes close to replicating that opportunity. His days of routinely elevating the talent around him are likely over. At this point, Rodgers simply raises the floor of Pittsburgh's offense to keep their playmakers fantasy-relevant. But with a downgrade in weapons and offensive philosophy, Rodgers is merely a streaming option unless he posts an outlier-level touchdown rate. Given the alternatives, it's a win for the Steelers - but expectations should remain tempered for fantasy.
