Fantasy Impact: Ben Roethlisberger took several shots for Brown in the end zone, but unfortunately for his owners he wasn't able to bring any of those down. It's a promising start, though, to see Brown getting some good looks down field and for potential scoring plays. Mike Wallace managed to grab a touchdown, but he does help take pressure off Brown with coverage downfield, so it is a good thing he's back. Big Ben clearly sees Brown as a favorite target. Fantasy owners shouldn't have a problem starting him every week going forward.
