Will Big Ben Be a Force in Fantasy Again? Early Fantasy Projections For The Pittsburg

[Steeler Nation]

As we move through minicamp and the rest of the off-season, we inch closer to not only the start of the regular season, but to the start of Fantasy Football. Whether you’re in one league with your family, or spread your time out throughout several different leagues, fantasy football is something that has become almost […]

Well written but I'm not a fan of FF. I feel it is FF that has gotten the NFL to where it is today as far as actual play on the field and the rules to enhance that. I know several guys who actually root against their team to see one of their FF players succeed, how messed up is that???

I am a true through and through STEELERS fan and could never root against them. The rules changes have affected the STEELERS organization more than any other team due to their physicality of the past. Sure, other teams are physical but the STEELERS have always been a step up of other teams, even when the STEELERS were a bad team. A friend of mine who played for the championship Detrroit teams of the 50s told me once "The STEELERS wern't a very good team but when you played the STEELERS, you always went home beat up, like being in a hard fight". Combine the rules changes and the coaching style of Mike Tomlin, the STEELERS have really regressed in the physicality department. Maybe with this new turn-around season, some of that will come back.

I've never played fantasy football and never will.

Just me though. Don't disparage the guys that do, and notice they have a lot of fun with it. That said, Ben should absolutely be considered a force in fantasy football. Most yards thrown for in the league last year and he has a ton to prove this year, and he will follow through on it. Get your popcorn ready.

I'm drafting Gandalf as my defense. You can't pass on him...

 

[Bobby Bufford]

Enjoy FF, but could care less if any Steelers light up FF or not. I draft with my head, not my heart. I will draft some Steelers IF I think they are the best choice at the time.

I did draft JuJu last year and he did well for me.

Fantasy Football is what ruined the league.

Fantasy football is a double edge sword. You will be cut if you re a true fan when one of your players " plays " the Steelers, and you will also be forced to root for teams you hate at times. On the other hand, it can bring a group of friends closer together. The draft parties are a blast.

Ben is one of the top 5 beset QB;s in the NFL, but probably the 8-13th best QB in Fantasy football. Losing Brown will hurt his stock.

Only Mahomes and Ryan was ahead of Big Ben last year in my league
