Bucky Irving Week 13 Injury Update: Will His Return Have a Fantasy Football Impact? Jorge Martin runs down the fantasy football outlook for the return of Bucky Irving from injury in Week 13. Other players also receive injury updates. [Read More]

From FantasyLife

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) missed last week's contest but is set to return at home against the Buffalo Bills. While Buffalo has been vulnerable on the ground, its pass defense has been elite, limiting opposing quarterbacks to the fewest passing yards, the fourth-fewest passing touchdowns, and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game. Unless the Steelers find themselves trailing early, they're likely to lean heavily on the running game with Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell. This makes Rodgers tough to trust for fantasy purposes, especially if he is limited at all with his left wrist fracture. Fantasy managers should view Rodgers as a low-end QB2 who is only viable in 2QB and superflex formats in Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers OT Broderick Jones (neck) and DL Derrick Harmon (knee) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. G Isaac Seumalo (rest) did not practice on Friday, Nov. 28, and no longer appears on the injury report. WR DK Metcalf (ankle), QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist), WR Ben Skowronek (shoulder), CB Joey Porter Jr. (hip), LB Alex Highsmith (pectoral), TE Jonnu Smith (rest), LB T.J. Watt (rest), and DL Cameron Heyward (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appears on the injury report.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) won't have a game designation for this weekend and will play on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13, according to Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live. Rodgers was a full participant in practice on Friday. "He just got more reps," Tomlin said. The head coach also said that Rodgers was able to take some snaps under center. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer suffered a small fracture to his left (non-throwing) hand in Week 11 and did not play in last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. Rodgers has been a QB2 in fantasy in his first year in Pittsburgh, throwing for 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions through 10 games played. Although he'll be facing a reeling Bills defense with plenty of injuries, Rodgers should remain in the low-end QB2 tier for fantasy purposes as he plays through his wrist fracture.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will start for the Steelers in Week 13, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers being back is good news for the Steelers' offense as a whole, but it doesn't affect his own fantasy status much. He can be avoided in most leagues, but can be installed in two-quarterback leagues.

From TheHuddle

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (left wrist) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Rodgers missed Week 12's game against the Chicago Bears and was a non-participant in practice to open the week on Wednesday, but was back out there Thursday and is expected to play in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that he was "highly optimistic" about Rodgers' chance to return on Sunday. The 42-year-old has been solid so far in his first year in Pittsburgh, but will have a tougher matchup in Week 13 against a Buffalo defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest passing touchdowns this season.

CB Joey Porter Jr. (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday. WR DK Metcalf (ankle), QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist), LB Alex Highsmith (pectoral), G Isaac Seumalo (rest), TE Jonnu Smith (rest), LB T.J.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) practiced in full on Thursday, Nov. 27.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers being back and a full participant is a great sign for his Week 13 status. While his return is good news for those in the Steelers' offense, he should still be avoided in most leagues. He can be installed in two-quarterback leagues, but can be avoided otherwise.

From TheHuddle

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is expected to play in Week 13.

Fantasy Spin: The Buffalo Bills are one of the toughest teams against opposing QBs in terms of fantasy points the last five weeks. Rodgers will be a QB2 option in two-QB leagues with everyone playing in Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf (ankle), QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist), WR Ben Skowronek (shoulder), OT Broderick Jones (neck), TE Jonnu Smith (rest), LB T.J. Watt (rest), and DL Derrick Harmon (knee) did not practice on Wednesday, Nov. 26. CB Joey Porter Jr. (hip), LB Alex Highsmith (pectoral), OL Isaac Seumalo (rest), and DL Cameron Heyward (ankle) were limited in practice on Wednesday.

From TheHuddle

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) did not practice on Wednesday, Nov. 26.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers is said to be coming back to practice this week, but until he does, fantasy players should expect him to miss the week or play injured. Either way, he can be avoided in leagues in Week 13.

From TheHuddle

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is slated to return in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Rodgers suffered a broken left wrist in Week 11 and was unable to play in Week 12's loss to the Chicago Bears. Head coach Mike Tomlin stated that he was "highly optimistic" that Rodgers was going to be back against the Bills. The Steelers held him back from playing last week, preparing him for this marquee showdown against the Bills, which will be extremely important as the Steelers chase a divisional title. Buffalo has been among the best pass defenses in the NFL this season, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. Despite Rodgers trending towards playing this week, a tough matchup could limit his fantasy value in Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) has 'great optimism' surrounding his potential to play in Week 13, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers missed last week, and the Steelers' offense struggled as a result. He, at the very least, helps the likes of D.K. Metcalf and Jaylen Warren, but if you plan on starting him in Week 13, it should only happen in two-quarterback leagues.

From TheHuddle

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he has "great optimism" that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will be able to play on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I'm comfortable with his general trajectory," Tomlin said. Rodgers suffered a small non-displaced fracture in his left (non-throwing) wrist in the Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals and did not play in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer will be limited in practice to start the week, but he's expected to give it a go this weekend against Buffalo. If Rodgers does play on Sunday, he will likely be wearing a protective brace on his left wrist. Through 12 weeks of the season, Rodgers ranks as the QB28 in fantasy points per game while throwing for 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. The matchup against Buffalo is a good one, but Rodgers will still only be a low-end QB2 in fantasy if he starts.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he expects quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) to play in next Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Buffalo Bills. Although Rodgers sat out this week's loss against the Chicago Bears, it sounds like his absence will last just one game. He was reportedly pushing to play against the Bears in Week 12, but the Steelers' medical personnel ultimately held him out. The veteran quarterback is 6-4 this season with 19 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions, ranking as the overall QB17 in fantasy football. Assuming he doesn't suffer any sort of setbacks within the next week, Rodgers should suit up against Buffalo, ranking as a mid-to-high QB2 in fantasy football.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will not play in Week 12's game versus the Chicago Bears, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers had been listed as questionable on the injury report after being a limited participant in two of Pittsburgh's three practice sessions during the week but the Steelers will err on the side of caution and have him sit out today's game. He is expected to play in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. QB Mason Rudolph will face the Bears Sunday afternoon but should not be a starting option outside of deeper two-quarterback fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Mason Rudolph will start Week 12's game versus the Chicago Bears in place of injured QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist), according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Fantasy Spin: Rudolph was solid during a Week 11 relief appearance against the Cincinnati Bengals, going 12-for-16 with 127 passing yards and one touchdown but will be facing a tougher defense Sunday afternoon. He should not be started outside of deeper two-quarterback fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) won't play in Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Chicago Bears, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Rodgers was listed as questionable, and although he had "been pushing to play," the team has decided to hold him out. The 41-year-old has been the QB17 in fantasy football this season, completing 66.4% of his passes for 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Mason Rudolph will earn the start in his absence, facing off against a Bears defense that leads the NFL in interceptions but has also allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2025.
