Aaron Rodgers News
Thursday, June 11, 8:10 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is entering what he himself has said will be the final year of his legendary NFL career in 2026. As he enters his age-43 campaign, Rodgers is clearly not the same player he once was at his peak. Still, he put together a solid year in his first season with the Steelers in 2025. Across 16 games, Rodgers completed 65.7% of his pass attempts for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Entering 2026, the veteran quarterback should have an improved cast of pass-catchers around him following Pittsburgh's offseason trade acquisition of wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. The Steelers also invested in the wide receiver position in the 2026 NFL Draft, using a second-round pick on Germie Bernard and a fourth-round pick on Kaden Wetjen. Fantasy managers should not expect Rodgers to provide top-12 quarterback production. Still, dynasty managers with win-now rosters in two-quarterback league formats may be able to squeeze one last productive season out of Rodgers in 2026.

Bryce Young News
Thursday, June 25, 8:21 AM
Across 16 games in 2025, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 63.6% of his pass attempts for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. The 24-year-old also provided modest production with his legs, rushing for 216 yards and two scores on 54 attempts. While Young has made definite strides since his disastrous rookie season in 2023, he's yet to prove he can provide consistent top-12 fantasy production. At the same time, Young finished as the QB19 in 2025, putting him solidly in the QB2 range. There's also a chance that the Panthers operate with less of a run-heavy approach in 2026 after losing running back Rico Dowdle in free agency. Even if Young's development stagnates and his 2026 production mirrors his 2025 output, he should outperform his current redraft ADP of QB26. In superflex formats, Young may be a sneaky sleeper for fantasy managers to target.
