News: 34 minutes agoAllar is set to play in Friday's preseason game against the Jets, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.

Spin: Allar will check into the game at an undetermined time after starter Will Howard finishes his reps. Allar and Howard are likely battling for a roster spot, with Allar's three-touchdown performance and 154.8 passer rating in last Thursday's preseason opener against the Packers being the standard Howard will likely need to match to keep up on the depth chart.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Allar was selected by the Steelers in the third round of April's draft. Allar is one of the biggest quarterbacks in this rookie class and, while he has the arm to go with his frame, accuracy is a big concern. Allar was conservative during his time at Penn State (7.6 aDOT), but he still completed only 63% of his passes and averaged 7.4 yards per attempt. In 2025, he had the worst QBR in this rookie class prior to suffering a season-ending broken ankle. On the plus side, he could add value with his legs, as he posted a career 181-1,030-12 rushing line and his 8.3% scramble rate is second highest in this class. Allar will begin his career learning the ropes behind Aaron Rodgers and perhaps Mason Rudolph.
