The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Rodgers in Week 15?
The glory days of Rodgers are obviously behind us, but I think you’re lying if you say that watching him drop the ball in the bucket a few times on Sunday in the upset win over the Ravens didn’t give you a nice feeling.
On his way to 284 passing yards, his first with 250+ this season, Rodgers was a perfect four-of-four on balls thrown 20+ yards downfield. That may not sound like much, but if you’ve watched any amount of Steelers football this season, you understand.

This is too late in the season to have any significance. I guess you could leverage this performance to give you a little more confidence in DK Metcalf for the final few weeks, but Rodgers himself isn’t a viable option (his last multi-pass TD game came in Week 8).
The fantasy point total looks better than you’d expect given the pass line because Rodgers recorded his first rushing score since leaving the land of cheese back in 2022. If you had the stones to play him in a DFS situation, hat tip to you, but the nice box score is nothing but a flash in the pan.
