Roethlisberger has strong game in rocky opener

Ben Roethlisberger completed 23 of 34 for passes for 365 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Steelers victory over the Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field.

Fantasy Impact:

Roethlisberger is entering a year with a revamped line and a plethora of weapons he has not seen in quite some time. He had a great day spreading the ball around and compiling over 250 yards at half. Those who waited on him in drafts could be looking at season long value and success as he put up these numbers today against one of the very best secondaries in all of football. You could probably choose a safer option, however, when the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Baltimore for the week two opener at M&T Bank Stadium as this rivalry usually includes only a score or two with field goals aplenty. Roethlisberger will be a mid QB2 with upside as a low QB1 against the Ravens.
