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 QB once again
Howard (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback Sunday against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Howard remains the safety blanket as both Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph are healthy and active for Sunday's game. The only way Howard would be allowed to enter Sunday's contest is if both quarterbacks on the active roster exit due to injury, illness or ejection.
