The Steelers' decision to retain Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, combined with Mike McCarthy's hiring, sets the table for a more pass-heavy offensive system. McCarthy's teams have ranked 12th in pass attempts on average, compared to Pittsburgh's recent five-year average of 558 passing attempts, signaling increased volume for Steelers receivers.PositiveValueJul 3, 2026
Jason Wood identifies Rodgers as his largest positional variance across the entire quarterback landscape. With ADP at QB28, Rodgers is a non-factor in traditional 12-team redraft leagues, but Wood projects him as QB24, moving him into low-end starter consideration in Superflex formats. Wood views him as a far superior late-game draft target compared to several quarterbacks the industry feels more comfortable selecting ahead of him. McCarthy's arrival in Pittsburgh is expected to significantly increase passing volume; McCarthy's teams have ranked 12th in pass attempts and 20th in rushing attempts on average across 21 seasons, equating to 584 passing attempts and 441 rushing attempts in the 17-game era, compared to the Steelers' last five seasons averaging 558 passing attempts and 468 rushing attempts. McCarthy's offensive system is a major positive for Rodgers' fantasy outlook; McCarthy's teams have ranked 10th on average in scoring across 21 seasons as an NFL play-caller, outperforming most long-tenured veteran offensive coaches with a career average scoring rank (10.4) superior to Sean McVay (11.0), Matt LaFleur (12.9), and Kyle Shanahan (14.5), and competitive with Andy Reid (10.3). This elite offensive system should support a more productive scoring environment for Rodgers in Pittsburgh.
