The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Aaron Rodgers.
Is Aaron Rodgers Playing in Week 13?
Rodgers is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Steelers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Rodgers in Week 13?
The wrist injury suffered in Week 11 against the Bengals cost Rodgers last week, and while that decision came down to game time, making this week theoretically a decent bet, why worry about it?
We know that Buffalo’s defensive weakness is on the road, and we know that, regardless of who is playing quarterback, Pittsburgh has no interest in getting caught up in a shootout.
Rodgers doesn’t have a game with 250 passing yards this year, doesn’t have a deep completion in November, and has more games with negative rushing yards than games with 10+.
He’s walking into the Hall of Fame when he hangs up his cleats, but his utility in fantasy, even if fully cleared, is very much a thing of the past.
