 Fantasy Football
Last season turned out to be a pretty good one for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who threw for 3,154 yards and 32 touchdowns. When compared to the NFL's best, only Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Tony Romo threw more touchdown passes. An area of concern has typically been Pittsburgh’s run-first philosophy, which ...

Yes... He really have great and many targets...

I just hope that the O-line can do the job... If so, the Steelers offense will be unstopable for sure.

- One skilled veteran (Ward)
- One speedster that has proven to be a great threat (Holmes)
- One promising rookie onthe slot that has good size (Sweed)
- One tight end that is sure bet (Miller)
- One tight end that has shown in his 1st season that he can be a sure bet (Spaeth)
- Two backs that probably will be one of the best combos in the league (Parker + Mendenhall)

Yes... Big Ben got weapons... and looking at what he did last season without some of these guys and with a poor O-Line, one can only wonder what he'll do on the next .

I'm looking toward Santonio Holmes to be a sleeper this season in fantasy football. He is coming into his third year, which I think they say can be a breakout year for receivers......

There's just something about Big Ben that to me, doesn't make him an elite fantasy QB. It could be his league high 23 INT's in 2006. It also could be that in 5 out of there 7 losses(including first round lost in playoffs) there leading rusher was under 100. In there losses they got away from old Steeler football, and Mike Tomlin being the excellent coach that he is, already knows this. I expect less production from Ben this season.
