Ben Roethlisberger, Heath Miller's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 11

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was under heavy pressure in Monday's Week 11 matchup with the Tennessee Titans, contributing to a tough fantasy outing.

Roethlisberger was sacked five times through Pittsburgh's first possession of the second half, but he was at least able to stay on the same page with tight end Heath Miller rather well.

Name	REC	YDS	TD	Fantasy Points
Ben Roethlisberger	21/32	207	1/1	10
Heath Miller	5	71	0	7

In fortifying his standing as a TE1, Miller hauled in five receptions on as many targets in the Steelers' 27-24 victory.

The Tennessean's John Glennon noted how the Titans planned to put the heat on Big Ben—and it worked:

Both Miller and Antonio Brown generated enough plays in the passing game to keep the Steelers within striking distance at LP Field—and Brown caught the winning touchdown in the fourth. It just came at the steep cost of Roethlisberger enduring a lot of hits—even on the throws he completed at times.

The perpetual punishment Roethlisberger took appeared to get the best of him on one critical play. When he had Brown open in the end zone toward the end of the first half, he threw the ball off his back foot, and it was intercepted.

Entering Monday's contest, Roethlisberger was the No. 4 highest-scoring QB in ESPN.com standard fantasy leagues. Much of that can be attributed to his back-to-back six-touchdown games, though his status as a QB1 is not in doubt as long as he gets better pass protection.

Le'Veon Bell ran for 204 yards to help the Steelers along and take the heat off Roethlisberger.

Both dimensions of Pittsburgh's offense have been brilliant at times this year, so it will be interesting to see what type of balance the Steelers strike as they solidify their identity ahead of a push for the playoffs.
