Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Davis Mills

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.
