Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Jauan Jennings

Sunday, January 11, 9:49 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' future is uncertain, but the team views the 2025 season as a success and would welcome his return in 2026, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The Steelers finished the regular season with a 10-7 record for the third year in a row, largely thanks to Rodgers' steady quarterback play. At 42 years old, Rodgers could retire, and his future might depend on how far the Steelers advance in the playoffs this month, as well as whether head coach Mike Tomlin returns for the 2026 campaign. However, if he does commit to another season, it sounds like the Steelers would like to bring him back. Rodgers is an impending free agent, so Pittsburgh might have to bid against other NFL teams for his services. He has shown that he's capable of continuing to start in the NFL, as he completed 65.7% of his passes for 3,322 passing yards, 24 passing touchdowns, and seven interceptions this year. Pittsburgh faces the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs on Monday night.

Across 15 games in 2025, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings recorded 55 receptions for 643 yards and nine touchdowns on 90 targets. The 28-year-old proved the ability to provide stable production, earning at least five targets in 10 out of his final 11 games of the season. Jennings also established himself as a red zone threat, scoring six touchdowns over his final six outings. Particularly with fellow 49ers wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) battling injuries, Jennings appears poised to remain in his team's WR1 role for their Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. While Jennings may not carry explosive production upside, he's a solid bet for somewhere between five to seven targets and should get some looks in the end zone. Fantasy managers in playoff leagues should view Jennings as a solid wide receiver option entering the postseason.
