Fantasy Football 2017: Thursday Night Football Start Em, Sit Em Week 11
START ‘EM
55. . Quarterback. Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger. 1. player
Some weeks I don’t list quarterbacks due to it being obvious, but Ben Roethlisberger has been one of those weird quarterbacks where you don’t know which one is going to show up. Big Ben did fine last week, but he really should have been dismantling the Colts secondary.
Roethlisberger finished his Sunday last week with 236 yards through the air, two touchdowns, and an interception. He’s thrown a lot of interceptions this season, which is the main reason why his fantasy owners are skeptical of starting him in some match-ups.
The Titans are similar to the Colts in that they’re not the greatest secondary (though not as bad). They have ten interceptions on the year, but didn’t pick off Andy Dalton and allowed him to throw for 265 yards and two touchdowns a week ago.
With the playoffs getting closer, Big Ben is going to be a good quarterback to have because his schedule is light. You can probably start to rely on him now on almost a weekly basis.
