2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rudolph signed a one-year contract this offseason to return to Pittsburgh, where he spent the first five years of his NFL career. He went 1-4 as a starter for the Titans last year, throwing nine touchdowns and nine interceptions on 228 pass attempts for one of the worst teams in the league. Aaron Rodgers signed with the Steelers in June, making an injury the only path to snaps for Rudolph. If he ends up playing this season, he will have more help around him, as the Steelers have a solid defense and offensive line. The pass-catching group, however, likely will be no better than average even if WR DK Metcalf proves to be an upgrade on George Pickens (traded to the Cowboys). The team also traded for Jonnu Smith, giving it another receiving tight end in addition to Pat Freiermuth. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Steelers in March of 2025.
Returning to backup role
Rudolph will serve as the Steelers' backup quarterback in Sunday's game against the Bills with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) having been cleared to start, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Rudolph played the entire second half of the Steelers' Week 11 win over the Bengals and then started last Sunday's loss to the Bears, finishing with 36 completions on 47 attempts for 298 yards, two touchdowns and one interception between the two outings. With Rodgers concluding Week 13 prep as a full practice participant, Rudolph will be back in his more typical No. 2 role this Sunday.

2018
Rudolph started the final four games, including playoffs, last season and was better than decent for the Steelers. In Weeks 16-18, he was second in the league in both completion percentage (74.6) and YPA (10.1) before falling to the Bills in the wild-card playoffs and finishing with a 5/1 TD/INT. The Steelers re-made their QB room this offseason, though, and Rudolph signed a one-year deal with the Titans where he will compete with Malik Willis to back up Will Levis. Rudolph is big and strong (6-5, 235) but doesn’t have the arm power nor the speed of Willis. If he wins the backup job and finds his way to snaps, he at least will have a good receiving corps to target in Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reverting to backup role Sunday
Rudolph, who's served as the Steelers' top quarterback for the last six quarters due to Aaron Rodgers' wrist injury, will revert to the No. 2 role for Sunday's game against the Bills, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rudolph filled the role he often has been called upon for during his long career over the last game-plus after Rodgers didn't return for the second half of the Week 11 win against the Bengals. The veteran signal-caller completed 76.6 percent of his passes for 298 yards with two touchdowns and one interception over that span, but Rodgers was able to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's contest after finishing the week with consecutive full practices.
