Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Kirk Cousins

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.
