Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Tyler Huntley

When asked if he'd like veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers to return in 2026, new Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said, "Definitely, I don't see why you wouldn't." McCarthy said he has spoken to Rodgers since being hired and thought that he was a great asset for the team in 2025. Rodgers will be a free agent in March, and it's unclear if he plans on returning for a 22nd season in the NFL. The expectation is that he'd leave Pittsburgh following the departure of long-time head coach Mike Tomlin. The Steelers clearly have interest in a reunion with Rodgers, but it remains to be seen if that's mutual, or if he has interest in playing for McCarthy again after the two reportedly had a falling out during their time together with the Green Bay Packers. If Rodgers returns to the Steelers, he'd once again be a low-end QB2 for fantasy with a team that needs more WR depth behind DK Metcalf.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley looks to be in line to start against the Green Bay Packers after Lamar Jackson (back) received a doubtful status on the injury report. The former Pro-Bowler took over for Jackson after he suffered a back contusion in their Week 16 loss to the New England Patriots. Huntley posted 65 yards while completing nine out of his 10 throws, and rushed for two yards on two carries. The Packers have a similarly stout defense, but have started to show some holes ever since Micah Parsons (knee) was injured. While they allow 25.04 fantasy points per game over the last two weeks to quarterbacks, Huntley and the Ravens are likely to lean a little more on the run game. That leaves him as the QB22 in RotoBaller's projections, right behind Philip Rivers.
