Is Aaron Rodgers Undervalued in Dynasty Formats Ahead of His Final NFL Season?

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.

Lamar Jackson News

Lamar Jackson Still a Dynasty Cheat Code

Tuesday, June 16, 5:36 AM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson followed up back-to-back MVP-worthy performances and a dominating QB1 finish in 2024 with a disappointing QB20 finish in 2025, missing four games and hampered by back and hamstring injuries for much of the season. By all accounts, Jackson heads into 2026 close to full health and with a new offensive scheme better designed to take advantage of his unique abilities. Jackson has had the highest passer rating in the league off of play action in each of the past two seasons, but it was used sparingly in Todd Monken's shotgun-heavy offense. With the Bears in 2025, new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle saw his team use play action at the second-highest rate in the league, contributing to Caleb Williams' QB5 finish. Even at 32 years old, five-time Pro Bowler Derrick Henry poses one of the league's most serious threats with a head of steam, which should open up the passing game significantly when Jackson goes under center. At RotoBaller's QB4, Jackson is at his lowest value in the last three years, and with a potentially heightened passing ceiling to go with his unmatched rushing upside, he could ultimately become the biggest steal in 2026 dynasty startups.
