Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Heath Miller's Post-Week 10 Fantasy Reaction

Timothy RappNov 9, 2014

What in the world is going on?

That surely was a question Pittsburgh Steelers fans and fantasy owners of Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Heath Miller asked themselves quite a bit during Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Big Ben threw two interceptions, Brown shockingly had two fumbles and Pittsburgh's passing offense never really got into rhythm.

It wasn't supposed to be this way. Big Ben had 12 passing touchdowns in the past two weeks, after all, and was facing the defense that had given up the most passing scores in the league coming into Week 10. Surely he'd exploit New York's shoddy secondary.    

But that's what you get from Big Ben in fantasy circles. The highs are incredibly high, yes, but the lows are brutal. He's simply not consistent enough to consider him a weekly QB1. Do you have to consider him each and every week? Yes. Do you have to start him each and every week? Certainly not.

ESPN Stats and Info added more perspective to Roethlisberger's day:

8749203

Don't fret about Brown. All he's been over the past season-and-a-half is the most consistent wide receiver in fantasy football. Consider that he's on pace to finish below double-digit fantasy points for just the second time this season, and the last time it happened in Week 5 he still scored eight points.

Week 10 was an aberration. 

329302

As for Miller, he can't be trusted. He's had two excellent weeks this season and the rest of his performances have been mediocre. If you don't mind buying that lottery ticket, go for it, but in general his place should be on your bench or on your league's waiver wire.
