Huddle Up: Smith should be a solid part of the Steelers passing game and should see time at both tight end and as a slot receiver. He probably will not be able to duplicate his numbers from 2024 but will be at least a No. 2 tight end in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Rodgers didn't sign with the Steelers until early June, but it appears he is trying to make up for lost time. Extra reps with his new weapons certainly can't hurt, but given his performance the last few seasons, it is hard to imagine Rodgers being more than a QB2 in 2025.

Huddle Up: As a point of reference, Smith lined up 29 times in the backfield, 274 times as an inline tight end and 268 times in the slot with the Dolphins last season. While the news is presumably good for Smith in terms of how many snaps he will see in 2025, it is hard to imagine a scenario in which this trade increases his fantasy value. Smith's arrival also figures to render Pat Freiermuth almost useless from a fantasy perspective as well. Fantasy managers should treat both players as no more than middling TE2s now.

Huddle Up: Smith was one of the main options in the passing game for the Dolphins last season, but his status with the team is uncertain because he is looking for a new contract. He has been linked to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason but can be a No. 1 tight end in most leagues if he remains with the Dolphins.

Huddle Up: Rodgers' move to Pittsburgh is one of the NFL's more compelling storylines heading into 2025. As has been mentioned in numerous spaces, the veteran should be the best quarterback the team has had since the days of Ben Roethlisberger, though Smith and Rodgers striking a balance between their divergent approaches will be an interesting subplot. The veteran projects as a low-end QB2 in the same area as other immobile signal callers like Matthew Stafford and Tua Tagovailoa.

Huddle Up: Austin showed some promise during his second season in the NFL, posting a 36-548-4 receiving line. He won't be in line to provide starting value in fantasy football, but he could be a late-round dart throw to keep an eye on.

Huddle Up: Rodgers suggested the reason he signed a one-year deal with Pittsburgh earlier this month was that he anticipated he would retire after 2025. Regardless of how things went for him during his time with the New York Jets, Rodgers in Year 21 should still be considered a huge upgrade over what the Steelers have had at quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger's final seasons. Rodgers is well past the days of being a fantasy QB1, but he should offer steady QB2 value this season.

Huddle Up: DK Metcalf is entrenched as the No. 1 option in the passing attack, but with George Pickens now in Dallas, Wilson is among the players competing for a sizeable role. If the former third-round pick can develop chemistry with Aaron Rodgers, he could have some value.

Huddle Up: Metcalf has made plenty of big plays on deep passes in his career, but he could benefit from a heavier dose of shorter routes. Metcalf has the size and speed to turn any catch into a big play, and a big year could be on tap if he earns the trust of Rodgers. Consider him a WR2.

Huddle Up: Pickens has top-15 talent at the position, and he'll have every opportunity to hone in that potential in Dallas opposite of CeeDee Lamb. Ask anyone with skin in the game, and they'll tell you 90% of receivers have maturity issues. He'll have to fall in line behind Lamb, who has established himself as the guy. Pickens will be a low-end WR2 in fantasy drafts.

Huddle Up: Smith is coming off a career year with an 88-884-8 stat line at the age of 29. He's probably going to regress a bit, and there's uncertainty about where he'll be. So if you can get him as a TE2, that's the best scenario. Otherwise, you'll need an upside TE2 for the low-end TE1.

Huddle Up: During Harris' four years with Pittsburgh, he averaged 319 regular-season touches, while Warren had not accumulated more than 210 touches in any of his first three NFL seasons. Warren is expected to split playing time at running back with rookie Kaleb Johnson and free-agent signing Kenneth Gainwell and can be viewed as a decent flex option in fantasy leagues during most weeks.

Huddle Up: Austin is coming off a decent 2024 season but seems to be on track to see more targets in the passing game this upcoming season. He will not be a starting fantasy option most weeks but could be a late round pick in some drafts.

Huddle Up: Lewis was a favorite of Rodgers during their time together in Green Bay, and while Washington isn't likely to pile up a ton of catches and yards, he could emerge as a useful weapon in the red zone. He could be a touchdown-dependent TE2 if he earns Rodgers' trust.

Huddle Up: Smith has been linked to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, but other teams like will have interest if he is available. He is coming off a terrific 2024 season and could be a low-end No. 1 fantasy tight end depending on his situation.

Huddle Up: Smith is among all sorts of trade rumors after having his best season at the age of 29. He's a bust candidate for 2025 considering his 88-884-8 statline was more than his previous two seasons combined. Look for him as a low-end TE1, but you'll need an upside TE2.

Huddle Up: The Steelers finally have the quarterback they have been waiting on for about three months. The 41-year-old Rodgers is obviously no longer a league MVP candidate and is coming off a season in which he only completed 63% of his passes, but it is still hard to believe he is not a much better starting option for Pittsburgh than Mason Rudolph. The next question that needs to be answered is whether the Steelers will be running offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's offense or what Rodgers is comfortable with, which seemed to be the case during his time with the New York Jets. Either way, fantasy managers should consider Rodgers a middling QB2 option in 2025.

Huddle Up: Warren likely will see more touches this upcoming season but will have to share playing time with the other two backs. He can still be a flex option most weeks this upcoming season in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Smith is coming off the best season of his career And is seeking a new contract with the Dolphins. He's a low-end TE1 when factoring in potential regression after posting an 88-884-8 line in 2024.

Huddle Up: Smith had his best year at the age of 29 with a 88-884-8 campaign. Miami could be looking to sell high on that with regression certainly possible. He's a tricky fantasy option but will be a low-end TE1. Just make sure you get an upside TE2 if the regression occurs as his previous career high was 582 yards.

Huddle Up: Rodgers had just four games with more than 20 fantasy points last season, but he did show sparks like in Week 18 with 274 passing yards, four TDs and 1 INT. He could be a matchup play if he goes to Pittsburgh, but he is devoid of much upside in leagues that don't start two QBs.

Huddle Up: The Steelers are set at tight end with Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington, but it should come as no surprise why they are interested: offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who was Smith's offensive coordinator for two seasons with the Titans and his head coach for one year with the Falcons. It would be a bad deal for all parties involved, as the Dolphins have little of note behind Smith at tight end. Conversely, Smith would not be a full-time player in Pittsburgh and the Steelers currently lack a quarterback who can take advantage of Smith's skills.

Huddle Up: Joining the Pittsburgh Steelers continues to be the most likely scenario for the 41-year-old Rodgers, although there is no timetable for when he will officially sign with the team. QBs Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler appear to be the frontrunners for the Saints' starting job but neither player should be viewed as anything more than a low-end QB2 option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: While Warren has been a productive member of Pittsburgh's backfield for a few years, the Steelers have not extended running backs very often in recent years - especially those who expect a big raise on the open market. This was likely the motivation for Pittsburgh to add Kenneth Gainwell in free agency, as he brings many of the same qualities to the offense as Warren but will likely do so at a lower price. It also paves the way for rookie Kaleb Johnson to be a true bell-cow in 2026.

Huddle Up: Schefter's educated guess makes sense, as teams typically like to know whom they are going into battle with by the time mandatory minicamps kick off. It also makes sense that Rodgers would have announced his retirement by now if that was still an option. Assuming if/when Rodgers signs, every key player associated with the Pittsburgh offense - specifically DK Metcalf - becomes much more attractive for fantasy purposes than they would have otherwise been with Mason Rudolph.

Huddle Up: Recent reports seem to suggest that Rodgers' personal issues are less of an issue now than they were a month or two ago, seemingly clearing the way for him to sign with the Steelers soon. The funny thing about the situation is that each side needs the other: Rodgers does not have another great option as far as teams to sign with, and Pittsburgh needs a player like Rodgers if it wants to have a realistic chance of being a viable playoff contender in 2025. Expect a deal to get done eventually.

Huddle Up: The Saints seem prepared to go with Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler as their starting quarterback in 2025. Shough probably will enter training camp as the leading candidate for the job, but neither he nor Rattler are more than No. 2 fantasy quarterbacks.
