After missing the Bears game due to a left wrist fracture, Aaron Rodgers will play vs. the Bills Sunday.
Aaron Rodgers is set to return vs. the Bills. Rodgers (owner of Chicago Bears) had pushed to play last week, but was a late scratch prior to kickoff.
Rodgers’ push to play is understandable as the Steelers are at the top of the AFC North at 6-5, just ahead of the Ravens. Rodgers is QB18 on the year and only a viable play as a 2nd quarterback in superflex leagues.

Despite fracturing his left wrist in Week 11, the Chicago Bears owner is pushing to suit up for the Steelers in Week 12 but needs clearance from team doctors.
Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who suffered a fractured wrist against the Bengals, looks to have avoided surgery but will still need clearance from the team doctors as he hopes to play in week 12. If Rodgers does sit out against the Bears, Mason Rudolph will likely get the start.
On the season, Rodgers has a completion percentage of 66.4%, 192 completions, 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions as the Steelers sit atop the AFC North. Mason Rudolph came into the game and completed 12 of 16 passes, throwing for 127 yards and a touchdown, but faces a much more difficult opponent in Week 12. The Chicago Bears’ defense is a streaming option for Week 12 if Aaron Rodgers does sit out.

Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth are seeing their draft stock plummet in the aftermath of the Steelers acquiring Smith in a trade.
It isn’t very often that a trade to acquire the TE4 from the previous season nukes the value of 2 players at the same position. This is just the case with Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Since being traded from the Dolphins to reunite with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith have seen their collective ADP drop significantly. In the last week on Underdog, Freiermuth has fallen 34.3 spots from the early 14th round to the early 17th round. Smith has dropped 27.4 spots from the latter part of the 10th round into the latter part of the 12th round.
Aaron Rodgers traditionally hasn’t had elite tight ends at his disposal. Going back to Jermichael Finley, the most productive players in a Rodgers led offense favor the wide receivers. With 2 excellent talents in Smith and Freiermuth, it doesn’t look promising that both can have scorching individual numbers. Collectively, they may thrive, but fantasy gamers are wise to let their price plummet and find tight end options elsewhere. DK Metcalf in round 4 is a price worth paying in comparison to the ambiguous tight end room that the Steelers currently have.

Aaron Rodgers went on the Pat McAfee show and announced that 2025 will be his final season.
This was not surprising given that Rodgers signed to a strictly structured one year deal. While he has been a story of much off field controversy spanning the last few years, Rodgers was one of the top passing stat padders in 2024. With the NY Jets team in complete disarray, especially with a failing defense, Rodgers had to throw significantly above expectation.
Now, Rodgers moves to a storied franchise in Pittsburgh with a future Hall of Fame coach in Mike Tomlin, but not much else in the way of offensive weapons outside of DK Metcalf. There is uncertainty at the WR2 position, the general manager has alluded to trying to find another receiver, and there have been trade rumors abounding. The combination of Rodgers pace of play and the run heavy approach implemented by Arthur Smith spells Fantasy disaster for Rodgers swan song season.

Aaron Rodgers is heading to Pittsburgh to sign a one-year contract with the Steelers, according to Tom Pelissero. The deal is rumored to be worth $15-20 million.
After a long standoff with little intel from either side, today is finally the day. Months of speculation led many to assume Aaron Rodgers would eventually sign with the Steelers, as they’re one of the few destinations that made sense for both sides. However, it took an unusually long time for either party to make an official announcement. Sources claim the 41-year-old pondered retirement, as well as Rodgers himself saying he was taking time to reflect after multiple people close to him were battling cancer. With that said, he decided it was time to announce his plans for 2025, with offseason activity ramping up.
There may not be a more well-documented NFL career than Rodgers’. Whether it’s due to on-the-field play or off-the-field dramatics, the quarterback has been one of the faces of the league for exactly two decades. His prolific run with the Packers ended a couple of seasons ago, and his following stint with the Jets soured most on the veteran quarterback. Despite posting 3,897 passing yards (No. 8 in the NFL) and 28 touchdowns (No. 7), the Jets won just five games in 2024. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn made it clear that the team didn’t intend to keep Rodgers under his regime. Now, Rodgers lands on his feet in Pittsburgh for one last dance.
The Steelers’ offense underwent massive changes this offseason. Rodgers joins DK Metcalf and rookie running back Kaleb Johnson among the notable offensive acquisitions. Under offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, expect a heavy presence in the run game and Rodgers to take advantage of defenses with frequent play-action passes, similar to what he did with LaFleur in Green Bay. Time will tell if Rodgers is truly on his way out, but in a better environment for 2025, the Steelers could make some noise.

Reports are that the Pittsburgh Steelers gave Aaron Rodgers 48 hours pre-draft to make a decision regarding his future. Leaving all eyes glued on day 2 of the draft and what direction they will go.
Here we are in the lead up to day 2 of the draft and we have no announcement from either party (Rodgers or the Steelers) that seems like a strong indication of where the wind is blowing in regards to his current interest with the Steelers. Will Pittsburgh address QB on day 2 with Shedeur Sanders still available among others? Will that signify the end for their QB search?
As the days tick by it seems more and more likely that Rodgers is leaning toward retirement. It hardly seems a fitting end for one of the great QBs of this era. Hopefully there is some kind of swan song for Rodgers as a late season fill in.
