Outlook Aaron Rodgers

Final Season Farewell Tour Offers Late-Round Value in Pittsburgh

Aaron Rodgers has confirmed that the 2026 season will be his final NFL campaign, setting up a farewell tour in Pittsburgh. Operating as the starting quarterback under head coach Mike McCarthy, Rodgers remains an efficient distributor. Our projections slate him for 3,502 passing yards and 21 touchdowns. While he is no longer a high-volume passer, reuniting with familiar tight end Robert Tonyan provides a comfortable floor.

In drafts, Rodgers's ADP has stabilized around pick 194, making him a virtually free late-round stash. Fantasy managers are treating him with caution, as evidenced by his 27% rostership and 9% start rate. At this price point, our models view him as a solid value play, especially for those in Superflex formats who want a cheap, stable starter without risking premium draft capital.

The main limitation for the veteran is his complete lack of rushing upside, as we project just 99 yards on the ground. Behind him, backups like Mason Rudolph do not threaten his job security, but they cap his ceiling. View him as a safe, matchup-dependent streamer who can provide steady QB2 numbers when the game script demands a heavier passing approach.

Outlook Dak Prescott

High-Volume Dallas Passing Game Secures QB1 Value in Mid-Round Drafts

Dak Prescott enters the 2026 season firmly entrenched as the leader of a potent Dallas offense. Despite minor knee soreness during minicamp, his status is of zero concern. He possesses an elite pass-catching arsenal featuring CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson, and newcomer George Pickens, with whom Prescott has already built excellent offseason chemistry.

Our projections expect another highly productive campaign, forecasting 4,377 passing yards and 30 touchdowns. This volume closely mirrors his stellar 2025 performance, where he compiled 4,906 passing yards and 32 touchdowns. This pass-first system ensures a remarkably stable weekly floor for fantasy managers.

Financially and strategically motivated, Prescott's draft momentum has stabilized near an ADP of 88 after a temporary early-June spike. At this late-seventh to eighth-round price, our models view him as an absolute steal. He provides elite QB1 production without the premium draft-day cost.
