Aaron Rodgers Finding A Rhythm, Emerging As Streaming Option

Friday, October 2, 5:33 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of 40 passes for 299 yards, with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the 27-24 loss to the division rival Cleveland Browns. Rodgers struggled in the first half but rallied, leading a two-score fourth-quarter comeback, including the game-tying touchdown to Pat Freiermuth with under two minutes left. Although the Steelers ultimately lost, fantasy managers should keep tabs on Rodgers as a streaming option moving forward. He has posted over 290 yards and three touchdowns in back-to-back games and appears to be finding a rhythm under head coach Mike McCarthy. He faces the Colts, Buccaneers, Saints, and the Browns in the next four weeks, all of which have struggled against the pass to start the 2026 season. With bye weeks and injuries affecting the top quarterbacks, the future Hall of Fame quarterback could be a player to consider in lineups.

Deshaun Watson Trending Up, But Faces Tough Foe in Pittsburgh Week 4

Wednesday, September 30, 12:19 PM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has had his best two performances of the season in Weeks 2 and 3 in the Browns' wins over the Buccaneers and the Panthers and will hope to carry that into Week 4's game at home against the Steelers. Against Carolina, Watson wasn't very efficient, completing just 16-of-30 passes for 144 yards, but did throw two touchdowns without an interception and added a two-point conversion. At Tampa Bay, Watson had his most efficient game yet this season, completing 24-of-30 passes for 238 yards and two passing touchdowns. Watson found tight end Harold Fannin Jr. twice for touchdowns in the win over Carolina and in the first two contests of the season, he connected with rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston in each of the games. The emergence of the tight end Fannin Jr. will help him add to his receiving corps and broaden his target base. The Pittsburgh Steelers defense is a tough matchup for Watson and the Browns as they are allowing just 192.7 net passing yards per game and have recorded two interceptions on the season. Watson should remain on the outside of start-worthy quarterbacks in fantasy in this matchup.
