Aaron Rodgers News
Saturday, September 12, 6:34 PM
Entering 2026, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is set to begin his 22nd NFL season. Across 16 games with the Steelers in 2025, the 42-year-old completed 65.7% of his pass attempts for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. In Week 1, Pittsburgh will host the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta fielded a mid-pack pass defense in 2025, finishing the year ranked 15th in the NFL in passing yards (3,773) and 20th in passing touchdowns (27) allowed. However, the Falcons are also set to start third-string quarterback Cooper Rush (back) against Pittsburgh on Sunday. As a result, the Steelers may choose to lean into a run-heavy attack in what projects to be an excellent matchup for their defense. Rodgers offers zero fantasy value as a rusher at this point in his career, so he needs a high volume of pass attempts to provide high-end fantasy production. In everything other than the deepest two-QB leagues, Rodgers profiles as a risky start for fantasy managers in Week 1.

Josh Allen News
Saturday, September 12, 7:27 AM
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen opens 2026 as RotoBaller's QB3 after another season built on elite dual-threat production. Allen threw for 3,668 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2025 while adding 579 rushing yards and 14 scores. Houston presents an immediate challenge. The Texans recorded 47 sacks last season and dropped Allen eight times in November's 23-19 loss, when he finished without a passing touchdown and threw two interceptions. Buffalo has since added DJ Moore to a group that already includes Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid, giving Allen another proven option against a defense that allowed only 5.3 net yards per pass attempt in 2025. The matchup is difficult, but Allen's rushing floor and goal-line role keep him firmly among the elite QB1 options for Week 1.
