PIT QB Ben Roethlisberger - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at St. Louis
Roethlisberger threw for 360 yards and three scores last week against San Francisco and is the only QB in the league to be over 300 yards in each of the first two weeks. St. Louis has allowed a combined 454 passing yards and two passing TDs in its first two games, but that could be because the Rams have been easy to run on. While he'll get Le'Veon Bell back this week, Roethlisberger will continue his aerial assault and is a solid start this week.

PIT QB Ben Roethlisberger - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. San Francisco
Roethlisberger wasn't necessarily his sharpest at New England last week, but he did put up 351 yards and a touchdown with one interception. There was a question as to how he'd play without Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant, but he was able to spread the ball around enough to put up a solid performance. Working at home this week, Roethlisberger should be a little better off -- especially since the Steelers should find running room tough to come by against the 49ers. Remember, 23 of his 32 TD passes last season came at home.

PIT QB Ben Roethlisberger - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at New England
The 2014 co-leader in passing yards heads into 2015 with a favorable matchup, as the Patriots have basically re-worked their entire secondary. The Steelers figure to have to throw the ball a lot to keep up with New England, and Roethlisberger is a solid bet for 300-plus yards this week and at least a couple of scores.

PIT QB Ben Roethlisberger - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Ben Roethlisberger is coming off perhaps his best overall statistical NFL season, one in which he matched Drew Brees for the NFL lead in total yards passing with 4,952 to go along with 32 touchdown passes. The offense returns intact and, with young receivers such as Martavis Bryant and Markus Wheaton emerging, it could be even better.

Fantasy Downside
Roethlisberger is now 33, so there is a question regarding how long he can play at a high level. Also, without LeVeon Bell in the playoffs last season, he and the Pittsburgh offense struggled. As of this writing, Bell remains suspended for the first three games of the season, so the offense could sputter early.

Bottom line
After Bryant was inserted into the lineup following a Week 6 loss at Cleveland last year, the Steelers’ offense average 29.9 points per game the rest of the season, including the playoffs. Look for more of that as Roethlisberger now has total command of Todd Haley’s offense. There’s no reason he shouldn’t be a top-five quarterback this season, both in reality and fantasy football. 5,000 yards and 35 touchdown passes are within reach. He’s played in all 16 games in two consecutive seasons, so injuries aren’t as big a concern as they were earlier in his career as well.

PIT QB Ben Roethlisberger - Week 18, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Ben Roethlisberger Wildcard game vs. Ravens
Ben Roethlisberger fought through a bout with the flu last week to throw for 317 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Bengals to cap off a season in which he tied Drew Brees for the NFL lead in passing yards. Now, he gets to face the Baltimore Ravens at home, where he torched their secondary for 340 yards and six touchdowns in the previous meeting. With LeVeon Bell not expected to play, the Ravens will likely have little respect for Pittsburgh's running game. But Roethlisberger should have some success throwing the ball - if the weather permits. Forecasts for the game are calling for rain/snow and temperatures in the 30s. Even without Bell, who caught 83 passes for 854 yards this season, Roethlisberger still has four other receivers who had 500 or more yards to whom he can distribute the ball - including Antonio Brown. He should be a strong start if the weather cooperates.

PIT QB Ben Roethlisberger - Week 17, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Ben Roethlisberger Week 17 vs. Bengals
Ben Roethlisberger threw for just 220 yards and a touchdown last week against Kansas City but now faces a Cincinnati defense he torched for 350 yards and three scores just three weeks ago. With the division title on the line Sunday night, the Steelers will pull out all of the stops against the Bengals this time around. Cincinnati had a strong game against Peyton Manning Monday night and has good overall numbers against the pass. But if they load up to stop LeVeon Bell, Roethlisberger could have a strong game.

PIT QB Ben Roethlisberger - Week 16, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Ben Roethlisberger Week 16 vs. Chiefs
Ben Roethlisberger was efficient last week, throwing for 360 yards. But he failed to throw a TD pass for just the second time this season. Kansas City's pass defense has been tough this season, allowing one TD pass in eight of 14 games. But when the Chiefs have played a good QB - Denver, New England, San Diego and Seattle - it has been exposed. Against those four teams, the Chiefs have given up 11 TD passes in five games. Don't write Roethlisberger off at home.
