Ben Roethlisberger Fantasy Stats

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) practiced in full the last two days and will play on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs in the wild-card clash, which could be the final game of his storied career. The 39-year-old just doesn't have a whole lot left in the tank, as he ranked 15th in the NFL with 3,740 passing yards this year, throwing only 22 touchdown passes in 16 games. He also averaged a career-low 6.2 yards per attempt during the regular season and went over 300 yards in a game just twice. Roethlisberger has been a low-upside QB2 all season, but he's cheap in DFS as a contrarian play this weekend and will be facing a Chiefs defense that allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing QBs this year.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday, a day after he was listed as a limited practice participant. Roethlisberger has been managing pectoral and shoulder injuries for most of the year, but they won't keep him from playing in Sunday's wild-card playoff contest against the Kansas City Chiefs in what could be the final game of his career. The good news for Big Ben is that he will be getting receiver James Washington back from the COVID-19 list and potentially JuJu Smith-Schuster(shoulder) from Injured Reserve, but the bad news is the 39-year-old QB has been a low-ceiling, dink-and-dunk QB2 all year for fantasy purposes. He's merely a low-cost contrarian play in DFS at his $5,200 DraftKings salary for this weekend. Roethlisberger threw for only 159 yards with a TD and a pick back in Week 16 against the Chiefs.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Roethlisberger has been managing these two injuries mostly all season long, so he'll be fine to play in what could be the final game of his storied career this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs on wild-card weekend. There's a reason why Big Ben is the lowest-salaried starting QB at DraftKings for this weekend's games. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer continues to dink and dunk underneath and is averaging a career-low 6.2 yards per attempt in 16 games this year with 22 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 16 games. Roethlisberger will be lightly owned in DFS, but he will come cheap, and the Chiefs defense has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to QBs this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 24 of 46 passes for 123 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 26-14 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 17. In what he himself called his final regular-season game at Heinz Field Roethlisberger threw plenty, although his anemic 2.7 yards per attempt was painful to watch. His lone touchdown pass was a quick five-yard slant to Diontae Johnson in the second quarter. Roethlisberger will be a low-end QB2 against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18 to finish out the regular season.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will take on the Cleveland Browns at home in Week 17's Monday Night Football contest. Roethlisberger did not perform well against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16, throwing for just 159 yards and one touchdown. He will try to bounce back against a Browns team that he threw for 266 yards and a touchdown back in Week 8. Cleveland's defense is allowing the 16th-fewest fantasy points per game to the quarterback position this season. Roethlisberger has not been a very inspiring fantasy option for much of the season and will remain a low-end QB2 for Week 17.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) did not take part in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. Roethlisberger has been held out of early practices for most of the year, so there's really nothing to see here. Expect him to get back on the practice field in the next couple of days leading up to what is expected to be his final home game at Heinz Field in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night. The 39-year-old has been up and down, along with the rest of the Steelers offense, for most of 2021. He's thrown 20 touchdowns to eight interceptions along with 3,373 passing yards in 14 games this year and will remain a low-end QB2 in fantasy as the QB19 entering Week 17 action.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger told the media on Thursday that Monday's game against the Cleveland Browns will be his final game at Heinz Field. "I don't ever speak in guarantees, but signs are pointing that this could be it," said Roethlisberger. The 39-year-old confirmed that this season would be his last earlier in the year, and will have played 18 seasons for Pittsburgh. Roethlisberger has thrown for 3,373 yards, 20 touchdowns, and eight interceptions over 14 games in 2021. The veteran threw for 266 yards and a touchdown in his previous game against Cleveland, making Roethlisberger a mid-range QB2 in fantasy for Week 17.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger struggled in a 36-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16. Roethlisberger completed 23 of 35 passes for 159 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the lopsided loss to the Chiefs. It was a rough afternoon for Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh offense as they didn't get their lone touchdown until there was 2:54 left on the clock. Roethlisberger is seemingly running out of steam as the season winds down as he has just one passing touchdown over his past two contests. He will be a low-end QB2 in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral/right shoulder) got in a full practice on Friday and is listed without an injury designation ahead of his Week 16 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Roethlisberger draws a plus matchup against a Kansas City pass defense that is allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers in 2021. That being said, Roethlisberger has been mostly disappointing as a fantasy QB this season, throwing for less than two touchdowns in eight of 13 games played. Despite the enticing matchup, treat Roethlisberger as a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes in Week 16.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 16 of 25 passes for 148 scoreless yards in a 19-13 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 15. On a quiet passing day for the Steelers, Roethlisberger salvaged his afternoon with a one-yard rushing touchdown on a QB sneak in the win. It was a disappointing performance for Roethlisberger, who appeared to have a plus matchup against a vulnerable Tennessee pass defense. A low-upside QB2 for fantasy purposes, the veteran QB will not be a recommended fantasy option in Week 16's showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs.
