mvttchew 596 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 6 hours ago, TheLegacy said: In away games this season, Ben has only thrown for 300 once and has only had a 2 TD game once @ Indy. Do people not understand this guy has some of the worst home/road splits of all QBs? (Okay Maybe Brees is worse). 300 yards and 2 TD's isn't going to happen. 220 with 1 Int and TD is what he's getting you next Monday and nothing more. I think people are also entertaining the narrative of how well Prime-Time Ben performs. He's played in 3 prime time games this year and 2/3 were these past 2 weeks (albeit at home). The third, he put up ~15 points in standard (317 yds, 1 td, 1 int), which was the away game. Take into account all the other prime time games in his career, and one can understand why they have certain expectations for Ben this week. Just a disclaimer - I have no shares of Big Ben, only AB.

swaggyp 1,051 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 anyone still holding? figure he is unstartable against ravens and with the pats next thinking he doesn't have any ros value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TommyKramer 829 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I have a bye this week, but have Ben stashed on my bench behind Rivers ROS. There is a chance I might play him week 16 though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patsspytech 82 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Jamey EisenbergVerified account @JameyEisenberg Dec 4 More Ben Roethlisberger has faced Baltimore twice since 2014 without Jimmy Smith, who is out with an Achilles injury (both in PIT). In those two games, Ben has 619 yards, 9 TDs and 2 INTs. BAL at PIT in Week 14. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bradyp713 68 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Holding and starting him. Has two good match ups after this week with NE and @Hou. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MolinasLoveHandles 32 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 He is an obvious hold. He usually performs well against BAL, plays well @home and has been hot the last three weeks. Ben is always a risk to throw a stinker once in a while, but he looks like a clear QB1 in most formats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh GODon 353 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I'm starting him this week. Other options weren't great, and without Jimmy Smith, Ravens aren't the same D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigMoneyNoWhammy 47 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Anyone concerned that Ben's hot streak has coincided with Juju's rise? Idk if he's as trustworthy now that he'll have to forcefeed AB. Bryant hasn't been reliable all year and when it was just AB and Martavis, Ben simply wasn't a good fantasy QB. Jimmy Smith is out, but BAL is still an elite D and if they focus on shutting AB down, I'm concerned the rest of Ben's weapons don't pose much of a threat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smitty114 1 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I have Rivers as well and currently have Rivers starting over Big Ben, but it's a tough decision. Primetime game at home (even though against a good defense) and AB is on a mission right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually have a bye this week, but would be starting Rivers. Next week is a tougher decision though. Don't think you can go wrong either way. I have a feeling Ben is on a mission for one last hurrah so he can ride off into the sunset after this season. I think Ben will be around 300 yards and a couple TD's this week.

Not a chance in hell Tomlin turns to Landry Jones. Tomlin knows where his bread his buttered. Ben was just caught up in the moment with those comments, Ben being Ben, perhaps even being a smart a** responding to the media in that moment. He's a very competitive SOB, so there isn't a doubt in my mind he'll turn it around. This ain't his first rodeo, he's been through mini slumps before. yah... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
