Strength of Schedule
Strength of schedule is calculated from the opponents projected fantasy points allowed for the QB position. The best rating is +16 which gives the player the advantage against the defense and indicates an easy opponent, the worst rating is -16 which gives the defense the advantage and indicates a tough opponent.
Fantasy Analysis

A much better real QB than fantasy option. 2007 is an aberration, he's at his best when his throws are limited, letting the defense and running game dominate the game. Routinely over drafted in 2008 he offers decent value this year as a quality backup, especially since the offensive line was not addressed (again) this offseason so they will still be throwing inside the 5 yard line.

Passing: 3500 Yards, 20 TD, 15 INT.
Rushing: 150 Yards, 2 TD.

Pittsburgh Steelers Team Talk
Man, what's up with losing at home to the crapball Raiders? I'm bumbing about the Pats losing at Miami. But I can console myself somewhat by saying, Well, at least we didn't lose to the friggin Raiders....
 
.............Can Tomlin's plan to turn around the defense really work, or is the season over for the Steelers?...
 
I'm thinking we can still get in. We have to have Ben and Polamalu though. Anything less will prove to be the end of a promising year. I'm still disgusted with the chokes we've had this year. We should have beat the Bengals both times, the ...
 
Will the running game pick up? How much are we missing Polamalu? Can Ben do everything on offense? Will the refs continue to let people hold Harrison every other play?...
 
From National Football Post: [quote:2c4c14db4a][size=18:2c4c14db4a]Tavern talk[/size:2c4c14db4a] 15. Wide receivers Limas Sweed and Kevin Curtis will be available for trade this week. Do you think anyone takes one? I doubt ...

Draft Analysis
Round 8, Pick 9
Positives
Roethlisberger's TD numbers were way down in 2008, nearly half of what they were in 2007. Though there were several games where he threw for less than 200 yards, there were three 300+ yard games. Not the consistency you want, but he is an unquestioned NFL starter so he will be on the field. Nothing flashy here, just looking for a consistent QB that can get between 200-250 yards per week.
Negatives
Was 2008 a downward trend, or just a bump in the fantasy road? Does it matter since the Steelers won the Superbowl? Roethlisberger finds himself on the sideline missing some preseason games, and he was hurt (though playing) throughout last season.
Draft Strategy
There have been 12 QBs selected, and I believe I'm the last team to grab one, which is no problem as this is a strategy I have employed successfully for many years. I'll be grabbing a couple of QBs with my next few picks, none fantasy flashy, but all (hopefully) fantasy steady. (Contributed by: doug_coutts)
