START ‘EM

Quarterback. Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger. 1. player. 55. Projected Points: 18.1

Ben Roethlisberger hasn’t exactly been wowing his owners this year and the Steelers, despite winning, are looking a bit disorganized when it comes to off the field activities. With all of that in mind, Roethlisberger is still a great option to have as a starter this week, as he gets to face the Jaguars.

The Jaguars have been a weird team just four weeks into the season. Normally we all laugh at how much they suck, but the two games they’ve won, they looked dominant in. That wasn’t the case last week against the New York Jets, who threw for over 200 yards on them.

If Josh McCown can go for 215 yards on the Jaguars, just imagine what Ben Roethlisberger will be able to do to them. Big Ben hasn’t had any tremendous games yet, but his team is winning and that should continue on Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Roethlisberger will get it going this week, and it’s about time.
