Ben Roethlisberger

Big Ben erupts in Week 8 performance

by Eric McQuillen | Sun, Oct 26th 11:08pm EDT

Roethlisberger had a career day, going 40 for 49 for an astounding 522 yards and six touchdowns. He became the first player in the history of the NFL with two 500+ yard games, and broke his own career bests in yards and touchdowns.

Fantasy Impact:

Roethlisberger may have put up the best fantasy performance of any player this fantasy year in this Week 8 explosion. Everything was clicking, and with the emergence of rookie wideout Martavis Bryant, the sky was the limit today. Hopefully you had him in your lineups and didn't play against him anywhere. Regardless, chalk Roethlisberger down a few pegs as a lower-end QB1 Week 9 against Baltimore, where history has proven usual low-scoring games with field goals aplenty.
