ESPN Fantasy Projection (last updated: May 15, 2009)
2009 Season Outlook
Roethlisberger's dip in touchdown passes was predictable: his 32 scores in '07 were heavily influenced by Pittsburgh's inability to run in the red zone. Less expected was Big Ben's sudden drop in downfield passing. He did set a career high in 300-yard games in '08, but his yards per attempt dipped from 7.8 to 7.0, and remember, this is a guy who has two 8.9 yards-per-attempt seasons under his belt. Roethlisberger's underwhelming '08 regular-season numbers can be traced directly to what's become a subpar offensive line, one that allowed Big Ben to be sacked 46 times. As a result, he played injured much of the year, and posted a crummy-looking 17-to-15 TD/INT ratio. His second Super Bowl victory notwithstanding, the true Roethlisberger is probably somewhere between his 2007 and 2008 seasons, which puts him somewhere between a great and an average fantasy quarterback.
