Ben Roethlisberger Posts Decent Fantasy Numbers Against Broncos Sunday
Ben Roethlisberger threw for 243 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday’s game between the Steelers and Broncos. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Roethlisberger looked solid despite one very costly mistake late in the game. Of course, no one doubts that he is a capable quarterback. The larger concern remains that the nature of the Steelers’ offense prevents him from being an elite fantasy option in standard leagues. Roethlisberger’s numbers likely didn’t hurt teams too badly under normal scoring rules. His performance also won’t win many head-to-head fantasy matchups, either.
