Aaron Rodgers' Farewell Tour: Eight Milestones and a Fantasy QB2 Question

Aaron Rodgers is 42 years old, entering his 22nd and final NFL season, and the record book is basically a to-do list. The Steelers quarterback threw for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns and just 7 interceptions across 16 games in 2025 — good for 227 PPR points and our No. 19 quarterback finish. Now he's chasing a stack of milestones on his way out the door.

The headline number: 3,726 passing yards. That's exactly how far Rodgers sits from joining Brett Favre, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees as the only quarterbacks ever to reach 70,000 career passing yards. He already owns the all-time best touchdown-to-interception ratio and is tied with Lamar Jackson for the top career passer rating at 102.2.

What He's Actually Going to Catch

Some of these are locks. Rodgers sits just two regular-season wins behind Ben Roethlisberger for fifth all-time, so expect that one to fall early in the year. He's five wins from clearing Big Ben's spot outright and eight from passing Brees for fourth. His 527 career touchdown passes leave him 13 shy of Manning's 539 — reachable, though it'll take the full slate to get there.

The Long Shots

A fifth MVP and a fifth Pro Bowl nod are technically alive but unlikely. If he grabs the trophy, he'd become the oldest MVP ever, edging Matthew Stafford, who won at 37 after his 4,707-yard, 46-touchdown 2025 monster. Stafford is our QB1 and No. 3 overall; Rodgers, realistically, is not in that tier of production anymore. A Pro Bowl selection would at least tie him with Favre for fourth among quarterbacks.

There's also the winning pedigree angle. Rodgers helped Pittsburgh grab its first division title since 2020 last year — his ninth as a starter — punctuated by a Week 18 game-winning drive against the Ravens. But the postseason drought lingers: he hasn't won a playoff game since the 2020 divisional round, and the Steelers got run out 30-6 by Houston in January's wild-card round.

For fantasy purposes, the milestones make for great TV and mediocre roster math. Rodgers' 2025 numbers (24 TD, low interceptions) are efficient, and his form ticked up late — his last five games ran +1.6 fantasy points above his season average. But he offers almost nothing on the ground and lives on a run-first offense, capping his weekly ceiling. Treat him as a matchup-based streamer and QB2, not a set-it-and-forget-it starter. Watch the schedule, chase the plus matchups, and let someone else roster the farewell narrative in single-QB leagues.
