2025 Fantasy Outlook
Howard spent the first four years of his collegiate career at Kansas State before taking over as Ohio State's starting quarterback in 2024, surpassing 4,000 passing yards in a season that culminated in a national championship. Across his 16 appearances as a Buckeye, he totaled 4,010 passing yards, 35 passing touchdowns and 10 interceptions along with 105 rushing attempts for 226 yards and seven scores. Howard fell to the sixth round in the 2025 NFL Draft and will have some time to develop behind a veteran in 2025 after the Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers to serve as their starter. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year, $4.45 million contract with the Steelers in May of 2025.
Emergency third QB for wild-card game
Howard (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as Pittsburgh's emergency third quarterback for Monday's AFC wild-card game versus Houston, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a familiar role for Howard, as he's been Pittsburgh's emergency QB every week since coming off IR in mid-November. Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph will continue to serve as the Steelers' QB1 and QB2, respectively, while Howard will be eligible to enter Monday's game only if both quarterbacks ahead of him have to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.
