Fantasy Analysis
Season Projections
As you probably remember, Roethlisberger played one full 2019 regular-season game and half of another one before he landed on injured reserve with a right (throwing) elbow injury that needed major season-ending surgery. The one-and-a-half contest sample size really wasn't enough to get a read on how well Roethlisberger will produce in an offense that's now sans Antonio Brown (free agent) and Le'Veon Bell (Jets). Some still think a Brown-less Steelers offense will be more balanced to help protect the 38-year-old Roethlisberger with JuJu Smith-Schuster, the promising Diontae Johnson, James Washington, Eric Ebron and rookie second-rounder Chase Claypool as the main targets. Big Ben does very little as a runner, so his elbow needs to be right. Armed with a good line, Roethlisberger needs to build chemistry with youngsters Johnson, Washington and Claypool, and newcomer Ebron. Even in a more balanced offense, Roethlisberger still has top-15 fantasy upside, but he's also a notable injury risk.
Passing: 3305 Yards, 22 TD, 20 INT.
Rushing: 78 Yards, 1 TD.
