Pittsburgh Steelers TE Darnell Washington emerged as a short-yardage favorite of QB Aaron Rodgers in 2025, and he and TE Pat Freiermuth are the only pure tight ends on the roster heading into the summer.
Huddle Up: Head coach Mike McCarthy has leaned upon his tight ends heavily in the past, so Washington could see a bump in targets and receptions, potentially filled the void of Jonnu Smith, who was released. However, it is expected Pat Freiermuth sees more of a resurgence in usage and fantasy value. Washington can be mostly avoided for fantasy purposes outside of deeper leagues, but he is a player to monitor closely, especially if Freiermuth should suffer any type of injury.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers said that 2026 will be his final season.
Huddle Up: Rodgers is familiar with Mike McCarthy's offensive scheme, so he should not have any problems with the offense. He posted solid numbers last season but will not be more than a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in 2026.

Updating previous reports, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers officially signed his one-year deal Monday, May 18. The deal can be worth up to $25 million.
Huddle Up: Rodgers was the QB19 in fantasy last season, and at 42, he'll just be a matchup play. Being paired with head coach Mike McCarthy could present some upside on offense, though, and Rodgers could find himself in attractive matchups.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers arrived for the first day of organized team activities Monday, May 18.
Huddle Up: Rodgers was the QB19 in fantasy last season and will likely remain a QB2/matchup play at the age of 42. There's something to be said for being paired with an offensive head coach for the first time in several years. He could surprise in some pockets.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers, who didn't have a single 300-yard game in 2025, is back for one season, and he can make up to $25 million. He also threw for less than 200 yards in seven of his starts last season, while completing just 39.3% of his pass attempts under pressure. He also targeted players below 10 air yards on 71.5% of his pass attempts, the highest rate of any quarterback in the past three seasons.
Huddle Up: Rodgers should be treated as a low-end QB2, or strictly as an emergency bye-week replacement in most fantasy leagues. He also lost Kenneth Gainwell, his favorite dump-off target, although Rico Dowdle was brought in as a replacement. Michael Pittman Jr. was added to the receivers' room to help out, too. Still, relying upon Rodgers as anything more than a fantasy depth player would be foolish.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Mason Rudolph could be on 'borrowed time' with the return of QB Aaron Rodgers, and given the draft pick investment of QB Will Howard and rookie QB Drew Allar, the Steelers are unlikely to carry four quarterbacks, in the opinion of Joe Clark of Steelers Depot on Sunday, May 17.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $25 million on Saturday, May 16.

Free agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) agreed to a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, May 16. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Rodgers did not provide the spark to the Steelers' offense the way they had hoped, but 2026 will be round two. He can be used in two-quarterback leagues or deeper ones, but should be avoided otherwise.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) is meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers Friday, May 8, and the two sides are expected to agree to a contract. The $15 million UFA tender is considered to be strictly a placeholder and not a ballpark of a contract.
Huddle Up: Rodgers is going to be a QB2 in fantasy if he plays in 2026. He'll likely be someone you can claim off waivers to use in good matchups.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) and the rumors of him joining the Arizona Cardinals are apparently "not at all" real, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com on Wednesday, May 6.
Huddle Up: Rodgers finished his worst full season as a starting quarterback from a fantasy perspective in 2025, finishing as fantasy's QB18. The counting stats from Rodgers still looked solid, with a 24-to-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio, but at age 42, his days of running with the football are pretty much over. If Rodgers plays in 2026, he'll be a waiver wire pickup in a good matchup, not as a weekly fantasy starter.
