Will Howard Sits Third in Pittsburgh and Is Listed Out

UpdatedOctober 20, 2026

Will Howard is a 25-year-old quarterback out of Ohio State, drafted in 2025 and now in his second NFL season with one year of experience behind him. He sits third on Pittsburgh's quarterback depth chart, which means he needs two players ahead of him to be unavailable before he sees regular snaps. There is no on-field production on file to show how he gets his points.

The 2026 season in progress has no stats recorded for him, and the data includes nothing from prior seasons either. With no per-game numbers, there is nothing to measure this year against.

The fantasy and DFS read is simple this week. Howard is listed as out, so he should not be in lineups. Clutch Edge projects him at 15.4 points per game, which ranks 246th among QB/RB/WR/TE, but that projection does not change the immediate decision for a third-string quarterback who is not playing. His value would change only if he returns to health and moves up the depth chart into a starting role. Until both happen, he is a name to monitor rather than roster.
