Rodgers steers a rested Pittsburgh squad to a 3-1 start after the bye, setting a high-floor ceiling for the Steelers’ passing attack as the Jets wrestle with a rocky start. Aaron Glenn’s 0-5 debut year in New York makes headlines and raises questions about stability, leadership, and future direction. Rodgers beat the Jets in Week 1 and now eyes a top-5 all-time passing-yard milestone, a thread that colors both franchises’ immediate futures.

With the bye behind them, Pittsburgh looks to sustain momentum while the Jets search for cohesion amid coaching turmoil. The contrast — veteran precision vs. early-season chaos — frames a storyline with clear fantasy implications: steady production for Pittsburgh; volatility for New York as Glenn fights to steady the ship.

The Steelers are tracking Drew Allar and Nico Iamaleava at the Penn State–UCLA showdown as part of a measured plan for a 2026 quarterback. Pittsburgh sits 3-1 atop the AFC North, with Aaron Rodgers in the background as a bridge option. A top-8 QB board places Allar at No. 7, underscoring the dilemma: keep winning could push the Steelers out of early-first-round range, possibly reshaping their long-term QB approach.
