Fantasy Impact: The former third-round pick had an extremely underwhelming rookie campaign, carrying the ball 28 times for 69 yards across 10 appearances. Entering 2026, he sits behind both Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle on the team’s depth chart. His path to fantasy relevance will be very difficult unless he stands out in training camp.

Fantasy Impact: Mason Rudolph and Howard are currently the only quarterbacks on the Steelers’ depth chart. If Aaron Rodgers opts for retirement or does not re-sign, Howard will have an opportunity to compete for the starting role.
