Meanwhile, the younger quarterbacks with the rushing upside (especially Justin Fields, and quietly Drake Maye) will have to wait at least a short time before earning their chance to take the field. Given how close both competitions were through training camp and the preseason, it’s hard to imagine that either of Wilson or Brissett hold onto the starting jobs for the entirety of the 2024 season, so so make sure to hang onto Justin Fields where possible and potentially even Maye in deeper 2QB leagues. Of course, neither the Steelers nor the Patriots are expected to field offenses likely to set the world on fire with their production, and the steady veteran hands of Wilson and Brissett are likely intended to get the teams off to as stable starts as possible. Both quarterbacks will rank well outside of the weekly top-10 in Week 1 and likely beyond barring any unforeseen resurgences to relevance, but expect both QB situations in Pittsburgh and New England to be in flux for much of the new season. No Patriots or Steelers QBs should be rostered in traditional 1QB league formats besides perhaps Justin Fields, who would only be advisable in leagues with deep benches.
