Rodgers' health headlines the Week 1 Jets–Steelers preview, as New York reshuffles the line after Elijah Vera-Tucker’s season-ending injury. Meyers moves to center, Tipman to guard, and Arman Membou slides to right tackle, setting up a run-first, quick-throw plan behind a rebuilt front. The Steelers counter with Watt and Hayward, testing the new protection and the Jets' distribution beyond Garrett Wilson.

Across the show, fantasy angles emerge: Bree Hall and a committee of Jets backs should see meaningful touches, tight ends loom large in the short-to-mid game plan, and Rodgers’ efficiency will hinge on how well the revamped blocking frame holds up. The convo also digs into Aaron Glenn’s Detroit roots and the Jets’ locker-room culture shift as a backdrop to Week 1.

Rodgers and Fields headline Week 1 as the Jets debut a run-focused, quarterback-friendly attack while Pittsburgh leans on its elite pass rush. Rodgers’ patience and middle-of-the-field targets could unlock a higher ceiling for Garrett Wilson, paired with a tighter Jets tight-end rotation. Fields brings run-game intrigue to a Jets unit built around designed QB runs, creating splash potential even if passing is developing slowly.

Key matchups—McDonald vs Falanu on the edge, Gardner vs the Steelers’ passing game, Watt’s stand-your-ground pressure—shape a contest with big-play possibilities and volatility. If Rodgers slides into timing quickly and Fields leverages his running threat, Week 1 could set early-season fantasy tones and betting angles on splash plays and efficient drives.
