Aaron Rodgers Faces Hot Dolphins Defense in Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is coming off his highest passing yardage total of the season in Week 14 and will take on the Miami Dolphins at home on Monday Night Football. Miami enters on a hot streak, having won four straight games while limiting opposing quarterbacks to the 10th-fewest fantasy points per contest over that span. That said, the Dolphins' run defense has been even more formidable than their pass defense. With Pittsburgh struggling to establish the ground game lately, the Steelers could be forced to lean more heavily on Rodgers' arm. Still, while this matchup is expected to be competitive, it is not projected to be particularly high-scoring, which caps the 41-year-old's fantasy upside. Fantasy managers should avoid relying on Rodgers as anything more than a low-end QB2 in superflex formats in Week 15.

Aaron Rodgers an Interesting Pickup for Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers finally found some success through the air during last week's win over the Baltimore Ravens. Rodgers threw for 284 yards with one touchdown, which was good enough for top-10 QB value in Week 14. He also had a rushing TD. Before that, Rodgers was held to under 240 passing yards in his previous five contests. The expectation is that Rodgers will continue having success this weekend, assuming the Steelers remain aggressive through the air. He'll draw a favorable matchup against a Miami Dolphins defense that ranks 21st in fantasy points allowed to QBs. Rodgers isn't an elite option, but he should offer more streaming value than usual in Week 15. He's certainly worth a look in two-quarterback leagues, at a minimum.

Aaron Rodgers Totals Two Touchdowns in Week 14 Win

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of 34 pass attempts for 284 yards and a touchdown in his team's crucial Week 14 win over the Baltimore Ravens. The 42-year-old also turned back the clock by recording his first rushing touchdown since the 2022 season. Making his second start since suffering multiple fractures in his left wrist, Rodgers appeared far more comfortable in Week 14 against Baltimore than he did in Pittsburgh's Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Across 12 games this season, Rodgers has now thrown for 2,370 yards, 20 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He profiles as a mid-tier fantasy QB2 heading into Pittsburgh's Week 15 showdown with the Miami Dolphins.

Aaron Rodgers Just a Low-End QB2 in Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was a full participant in Friday's practice and is set to face the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Rodgers struggled in a Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, but this matchup is much more favorable on paper. Although the Ravens have improved defensively in recent weeks, they have still allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers. Just last week, Joe Burrow accumulated 261 passing yards and two scores against Baltimore. Nonetheless, the Steelers' offensive woes remain a major concern. Rodgers hasn't thrown multiple touchdowns in a contest since Week 8 and has failed to eclipse 200 yards in three straight starts. As a result, it's difficult to rely on Rodgers as anything more than a low-end QB2 in superflex formats heading into Sunday's road bout.

Aaron Rodgers Back at Practice on Thursday

As expected, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) returned to practice on Thursday, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN. Rodgers suffered three fractures in his left (non-throwing) wrist in Week 11 and sat out of Week 12. The 42-year-old future Hall of Famer returned in last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills, going 10-for-21 for 117 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. Although Rodgers was beaten up in the Week 13 loss, he's fully expected to take the field this Sunday for a big divisional clash against the Baltimore Ravens. With limited options at his disposal in the passing game beyond receiver DK Metcalf, Rodgers has been the QB22 in overall fantasy points in 2025 through 13 weeks, with 2,086 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Against a Ravens defense that has stiffened in the second half of the season, Rodgers will be a QB2/3 in fantasy while playing through a broken left hand.

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Practice on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, according to Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. Rodgers, who is playing through three fractures in his left (non-throwing) wrist, will probably be limited early in the week for the rest of the season. The 42-year-old future Hall of Famer is expected to be active again this weekend for a crucial divisional contest against the Baltimore Ravens, but he might not do much in practice this week. The good news for Rodgers is that he didn't do any damage to his left wrist by playing in the Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, and he appears to be in better shape going into Week 14 despite being battered and bloodied last Sunday. Rodgers hasn't thrown for over 200 yards in a game since Nov. 2 and has limited weapons in the passing game outside of receiver DK Metcalf. He will be a low-upside fantasy QB on the QB2/3 borderline versus Baltimore.

Aaron Rodgers Appearing to be Healthier Heading Into Week 14

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport spoke on Good Morning Football on Wednesday and reported that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will get a little healthier this week, leading to Week 14's crucial AFC North matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Both teams are sitting at (6-6) at the top of the division, and the winner, for now, would take sole possession of the division with a few weeks left to go in the 2025 regular season. Rodgers has been dealing not only with a wrist injury but also a busted-up nose in Week 13; however, as Rapoport reported, Rodgers is a bit healthier this week, and the Steelers are going to need him to turn back the clock and perform well to give the Steelers a shot at the postseason. In his 21st NFL season, Rodgers has thrown for 2,086 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

Can Aaron Rodgers Get Back on Track Ahead of Fantasy Playoffs?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) completed 10 of his 21 pass attempts for 117 scoreless yards in a 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Although he avoided throwing an interception, he committed a costly fumble early in the third quarter that was returned for a Buffalo touchdown. Rodgers appeared shaken up on the play and briefly ceded a series to Mason Rudolph before returning later in the quarter, but he was unable to spark a comeback. After a strong start to the campaign, Rodgers has now gone four straight starts without throwing multiple touchdowns and hasn't eclipsed 200 passing yards since Week 9. He could bounce back in Week 14 against a Baltimore Ravens defense that just struggled to contain Joe Burrow, but fantasy managers should still view Rodgers as no more than a low-end QB2.

Aaron Rodgers Playing Through Multiple Wrist Fractures

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) has been cleared to play on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the future Hall of Fame signal-caller will be playing through at least three fractures in his left (non-throwing) wrist. Rodgers' main wrist fracture was non-displaced, though, which means he was able to avoid surgery. He will be back on the field in Week 13 after sitting out the team's Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. Rapoport reports that Rodgers has gained even more respect in Pittsburgh because of how he's handled this injury. Rodgers' left-wrist fractures shouldn't really affect him throwing the football, but he could have difficulty taking snaps under center on Sunday. Fantasy managers should consider him a low-end QB2/high-end QB3 against the visiting Bills.

Aaron Rodgers Set to Play on Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is set to start against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Rodgers plans to suit up despite having multiple broken bones in his left (non-throwing) wrist. He sat out last week's game which forced Mason Rudolph into the starting role against the Chicago Bears. It appears Rodgers is feeling good enough to play after a week to rest. The injury shouldn't impact his throwing ability, but Rodgers isn't a great fantasy option anyway. He should be viewed on the lower end of QB2s for this weekend.

Aaron Rodgers Draws Tough Matchup in Week 13

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) missed last week's contest but is set to return at home against the Buffalo Bills. While Buffalo has been vulnerable on the ground, its pass defense has been elite, limiting opposing quarterbacks to the fewest passing yards, the fourth-fewest passing touchdowns, and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game. Unless the Steelers find themselves trailing early, they're likely to lean heavily on the running game with Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell. This makes Rodgers tough to trust for fantasy purposes, especially if he is limited at all with his left wrist fracture. Fantasy managers should view Rodgers as a low-end QB2 who is only viable in 2QB and superflex formats in Week 13.

Aaron Rodgers Will Play in Week 13

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) won't have a game designation for this weekend and will play on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13, according to Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live. Rodgers was a full participant in practice on Friday. "He just got more reps," Tomlin said. The head coach also said that Rodgers was able to take some snaps under center. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer suffered a small fracture to his left (non-throwing) hand in Week 11 and did not play in last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. Rodgers has been a QB2 in fantasy in his first year in Pittsburgh, throwing for 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions through 10 games played. Although he'll be facing a reeling Bills defense with plenty of injuries, Rodgers should remain in the low-end QB2 tier for fantasy purposes as he plays through his wrist fracture.

Aaron Rodgers Practices in Full Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (left wrist) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Rodgers missed Week 12's game against the Chicago Bears and was a non-participant in practice to open the week on Wednesday, but was back out there Thursday and is expected to play in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that he was "highly optimistic" about Rodgers' chance to return on Sunday. The 42-year-old has been solid so far in his first year in Pittsburgh, but will have a tougher matchup in Week 13 against a Buffalo defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest passing touchdowns this season.

Nov 27, 2025 4:37 PM EST


Aaron Rodgers Slated to Return in Week 13

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is slated to return in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Rodgers suffered a broken left wrist in Week 11 and was unable to play in Week 12's loss to the Chicago Bears. Head coach Mike Tomlin stated that he was "highly optimistic" that Rodgers was going to be back against the Bills. The Steelers held him back from playing last week, preparing him for this marquee showdown against the Bills, which will be extremely important as the Steelers chase a divisional title. Buffalo has been among the best pass defenses in the NFL this season, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. Despite Rodgers trending towards playing this week, a tough matchup could limit his fantasy value in Week 13.

Steelers Have "Great Optimism" Aaron Rodgers Will Play in Week 13

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he has "great optimism" that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will be able to play on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I'm comfortable with his general trajectory," Tomlin said. Rodgers suffered a small non-displaced fracture in his left (non-throwing) wrist in the Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals and did not play in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer will be limited in practice to start the week, but he's expected to give it a go this weekend against Buffalo. If Rodgers does play on Sunday, he will likely be wearing a protective brace on his left wrist. Through 12 weeks of the season, Rodgers ranks as the QB28 in fantasy points per game while throwing for 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. The matchup against Buffalo is a good one, but Rodgers will still only be a low-end QB2 in fantasy if he starts.

Steelers Expect Aaron Rodgers to Play in Week 13

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he expects quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) to play in next Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Buffalo Bills. Although Rodgers sat out this week's loss against the Chicago Bears, it sounds like his absence will last just one game. He was reportedly pushing to play against the Bears in Week 12, but the Steelers' medical personnel ultimately held him out. The veteran quarterback is 6-4 this season with 19 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions, ranking as the overall QB17 in fantasy football. Assuming he doesn't suffer any sort of setbacks within the next week, Rodgers should suit up against Buffalo, ranking as a mid-to-high QB2 in fantasy football.

Aaron Rodgers Inactive for Week 12 Against Bears

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) won't play in Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Chicago Bears, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Rodgers was listed as questionable, and although he had "been pushing to play," the team has decided to hold him out. The 41-year-old has been the QB17 in fantasy football this season, completing 66.4% of his passes for 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Mason Rudolph will earn the start in his absence, facing off against a Bears defense that leads the NFL in interceptions but has also allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2025.

Aaron Rodgers Pushing to Play

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) remains uncertain to suit up ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Rodgers is dealing with a minor fracture on his left (non-throwing) wrist. The veteran quarterback has been pushing to play, but the organization seems more cautious. It sounds like if the decision is left up to Rodgers then he'll suit up. Otherwise, fantasy managers might need to find another option for Sunday's slate. Mason Rudolph would be in line to start if Rodgers is ruled out. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers Profiles As QB2 for Week 12 if Active

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is officially listed as questionable for Week 12 against the Chicago Bears. The 41-year-old suffered a small fracture in his left wrist during Pittsburgh's Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and his status for Week 12 against the Bears was in serious doubt at the beginning of the week. Rodgers opened the week with a DNP on Wednesday, but was upgraded to a limited participant on both Thursday and Friday, which will give him a shot to suit up on Sunday. The former Green Bay Packer has been solid overall in his first season in Pittsburgh, completing 66.4% of his passes for 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. If Rodgers can play Sunday, it would mark his 30th career game against the Bears. He'd profile as a QB2 with how banged up the Bears are defensively. If he can't go, Mason Rudolph would be in line to make his first start of the season.

Bears D/ST Dependent on Aaron Rodgers' Status

The Chicago Bears' defense was as disruptive as ever in Week 11, forcing two interceptions against the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears' defense continues to force turnovers at the highest rate in the NFL, totaling 23 turnovers in 10 games. However, like they have all season, the injury bug has bitten this defense. Linebackers Tremaine Edmunds (groin) and T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring) have been ruled out, and Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, and Jaquan Brisker are all questionable to play this week. The Bears face the Steelers in Week 12, and their starting quarterback, Aaron Rodgers (wrist), enters this game questionable. In his career, Rodgers has won 24 of 29 games against the Bears, and he might try to fight through injury in what appears to be his final game in Soldier Field. The status of Rodgers will determine the value of this defense, as they are much riskier of an option with Rodgers starting, rather than Mason Rudolph.
