Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Trace McSorley

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson excelled on in-breaking routes over the middle of the field in college at Michigan, which should fit quarterback Aaron Rodgers' skills nicely, according to The Athletic's Mike DeFabo. However, it remains to be seen if Wilson can stay healthy after dealing with multiple injuries in his rookie season and appearing in just one game. The Steelers are already saying that Calvin Austin III is their WR2 behind DK Metcalf, but the 24-year-old Wilson still will have more opportunities for playing time in 2025 now that George Pickens is gone. Pittsburgh is on record that they are counting on Wilson to take a jump in Year 2, although it's unclear exactly what that will mean right now. Wilson should mostly be a downfield threat, which was a weakness for Rodgers last year in New York. He's merely one to watch in most fantasy leagues for now.

Washington Commanders quarterback Trace McSorley shined in the second half as he threw for 125 yards with a passing score and added 40 yards on the ground. The former Penn State product led the Commanders to all of their 20 points in the second half. McSorley tallied his passing score in the final minutes of the game on a four-yard pass to Martavis Bryant. Jeff Driskel got the starting nod as he is currently listed as the No.3 quarterback on the depth chart, but McSorley's performance does put him in the conversation to take over that role. McSorley appeared in six games in the 2022 season and got the start in a Week 16 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and threw for 217 yards. While his performance on Sunday evening may have earned him a spot on the final roster, he will only be fantasy-relevant if the quarterback room suffers numerous injuries.
