Aaron Rodgers a Deep Fantasy Sleeper in a Familiar Offense

Wednesday, July 22, 6:53 AM

Among 33 qualifying quarterbacks in 2025, Pittsburgh Steelers veteran Aaron Rodgers had the lowest intended air yards per attempt, operating an offense whose passing attack ran primarily through its running backs and tight ends. Of the seven different Steelers players targeted at least 40 times last season, only two were wide receivers, with D.K. Metcalf and Calvin Austin III combining for only 90 total receptions. In reuniting with Rodgers, new head coach Mike McCarthy is expected to implement the heavy 11-personnel usage that has become a staple of his play calling, and the trade for Michael Pittman Jr. and drafting of Germie Bernard in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft hint at more of a hybrid offense that can put receivers on the field who are capable of finding space in the short to intermediate areas. Now 42 years old, the aggressiveness of the Steelers' offense likely relies on how well Rodgers can hold up physically, but if Pittsburgh can add even a modest vertical element in 2026, the four-time MVP could return usable fantasy value as RotoBaller's QB28.

Trevor Lawrence News

Trevor Lawrence Having the Best Offseason of his Career?

Thursday, July 16, 10:01 AM

John Shipley of Sports Illustrated writes that Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence "just had the best offseason he's had with the Jaguars ever." Lawrence looked "as confident and in command" of head coach Liam Coen's offense as ever, displaying "improved accuracy to each level of the field" while also improving as a vertical passer and gaining chemistry with receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who disappointed in Year 2 in 2025 after an impressive rookie showing. It's now time to see if Lawrence's improvements in the spring can carry over to training camp this summer as he heads into the sixth year of his NFL career. The 26-year-old former first overall pick out of Clemson in 2021 hit the 4,000-yard passing mark in 17 regular-season starts in 2025 for the third time in his career, delivering a career-best 29 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions. After rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery last year, Lawrence is at full health and could be on the verge of a career year in his second season in Coen's offense. Not only is Lawrence looking great, but this is perhaps the best offense he's had yet in the NFL in terms of weapons around him. RotoBaller has Lawrence ranked as the No. 9 fantasy QB in 2026.
