Quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger: Roethlisberger has yet to finish in the top half of weekly scoring in any week this season, reaching 16.0 fantasy points just once so far on the year. He has thrown multiple touchdown passes just once. Chicago is 25th in passing points allowed per attempt (0.52) and is allowing 8.1 yards per pass attempt (27th) to offer some matchup appeal for Ben as an option in 2QB formats and single-game DFS.
