Quarterback Rank: #13
Overall: #65
Big Ben had an up and down season for the Steelers. His offensive line didn't help him much during the regular season, though, which caused many of his problems. Roethlisberger actually had the most passing attempts of his career, though, but that didn't lead to career numbers. He had just 18-passing TDs, his lowest total since 2006. But the Steelers offense showed some life at the end of the season and in the playoffs, which bodes well for Roethlisberger for '09. For his career, Roethlisberger averages 22 total touchdowns and 14 touchdowns per season. Big Ben has a great arm and is an accurate passer. His biggest weakness had been turnovers through the years, but he remains young and can improve on his weakness. The Steelers like to run, but have the weapons at receiver to push the ball downfield.

| Don't count on him reverting back to his '07 form, but he can improve on last season. He is a low-end No. 1 quarterback for fantasy teams. He won't throw for a ton of yards, but can get you around 25 total touchdowns and the occasional big yardage game. He is a good mid-round pick for fantasy teams. |
