Aaron Rodgers News
Sunday, September 13, 3:23 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 60% of his passes for 221 yards with one touchdown and was sacked twice in a 20-13 win against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. Pittsburgh leaned on a run-heavy offensive scheme on Sunday, which contributed to Rodgers attempting just 40 passes and connecting on 24 of them. The 42-year-old shot-caller was considered a risky start for fantasy managers in Week 1 since he needs a high volume of passes to be a viable fantasy asset in shallow leagues, especially since he offers little to no rushing help at this point in his career. That risk will remain high in Week 2 when the Steelers face a solid New England Patriots pass rush. Rodgers completed 65.7% of his pass attempts for 3,322 yards with 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions over 16 regular-season matchups in 2025. The veteran offers value in deep multi-QB formats, but remains a dicey gamble in standard fantasy leagues.

Bryce Young News
Sunday, September 13, 8:49 PM
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 23 of his 37 pass attempts for 361 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's 59-37 loss against the Carolina Panthers. He also logged an additional 10 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown, bringing him to a total of four touchdowns in Week 1. Other than the loss, the only real blemish on Young's stat line was the one interception. He did take two sacks, but that's not an alarming number considering he attempted 37 passes and the Panthers' offense ran 62 plays. It's fair to assume that Young's counting stats will come back down to earth in a lower-scoring game that doesn't require him to pass as much, but at least he showed that he's capable of going toe-to-toe against one of the best teams in football. He should remain in the low-end QB1 tier for next week's very favorable matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
