Injury Status: Healthy
by Jorden Hill
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers disappointed for fantasy purposes last week but will look to get back on track in a divisional bout with the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. While the Browns are surrendering the seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, Rodgers managed 299 passing yards and three touchdowns despite throwing two interceptions against Cleveland back in Week 4. This is a pivotal matchup with both AFC North teams sitting at 5-2 heading into Sunday, so Rodgers should be locked in for what projects to be a competitive game. That said, plenty of other fantasy options have more favorable matchups at the position. Fantasy managers can turn to Rodgers in a pinch, but he should be viewed as a low-end QB2 with some streaming appeal.

Aaron Rodgers 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Returning to the Steelers for One More Season
Future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers opted out of retirement and signed a one-year contract to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers opted out of retirement and signed a one-year contract to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 42-year-old threw for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while rushing for 61 yards and a score in 16 games for the Steelers last season. Rodgers also averaged a measly 6.1-yard average target per depth. He showed signs of his age as the season went on, surpassing 250 yards just three times while throwing for just eight touchdowns over his last 10 games. The Steelers hired Mike McCarthy as the team's head coach this offseason. Rodgers and McCarthy spent 13 years together with the Green Bay Packers from 2006-2018. Pittsburgh added some weapons for Rodgers by acquiring wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. from the Colts and drafting Alabama wideout Germie Bernard in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Pat Freiermuth, and Darnell Washington are also returning, giving Rodgers a solid supporting cast for his final season in the NFL. Rodgers is ranked QB29 in the latest RotoBaller rankings, and with limited upside, he is mainly a QB3 in Superflex leagues or a bye-week replacement in a plus matchup.less...
