Pittsburgh
is Steel Rolling
with Big Ben
The Pittsburgh Steelers are sitting atop
of their division at 8-2 and tied with the Patriots for the best record in the
AFC. They have done all of this with something noticeably missing until just
recently.
Heading into their Week 10 matchup with
the Indy Colts, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers offense had yet
to really fully display their talents and expectations as a unit. In what
should have been a great matchup the Steelers offense was not all it could have
been. But it was enough for the win and from that game a much-needed big play
spark.
Fast forward to Week 11 and suddenly the
Steelers offense led by Big Ben and his Killer Juju-Bees found gold again and
struck big on Thursday night. With another toy in his arsenal and an old
favorite, Big Ben turned in easily his best performance of the season last
Thursday passing for 299 yards and throwing 4 touchdowns against the Titans
defense. He finished as the league’s No.2 fantasy QB for Week 11.
It was a statement to the rest of the
league to take heed, Big Ben and Company are back and Steelers offense is just
heating up. With Antonio Brown playing lights out, the emergence of JuJu
Smith-Schuster, the deep threat of Martavis Bryant, and the smooth Le’Veon
Bell, Big Ben is well equipped to do some serious damage to opposing defenses.
Big Ben is only the No.16 fantasy QB
through 11 weeks, but his stock is on the rise and he is trending in
the right direction. With matchups against defenses like the Packers, Patriots,
Texans, and the Ravens at home, Big Ben and the Steelers passing game could be
ready to make a run and get a on sweet roll.
That's My Take.
