If Rodgers Misses Time
Next man up: Mason Rudolph
Mason Rudolph is next on the Steelers depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Rodgers managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Rodgers misses time.
Who else it affects
A quarterback change matters most for DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson, his two most-targeted pass catchers this season.
