2021 Outlook
Depth Chart
When I started college way back in the mid 90's I had a real junker of a Volkswagen Rabbit. Poop brown, and barely able to accelerate on the highway, it was a nightmare in several ways. It was my first ever car, so there was some sentimental value, and I didn't have much extra spending money, but I realized it was time to move on into something that wasn't going to spontaneously fall apart. Why start my first player outlook of the 2021 season with this vehicular-based aside? I see a direct correlation between that car, Ben Roethlisberger, and the Steelers. Playing the role of the poop brown Rabbit is Big Ben, who despite finishing with the 4th 30+ touchdown season of his career, failed to be able to carry this offense down the stretch. Instead of cutting bait and trying to retool a deteriorating roster, the Steelers instead brought back Ben, drafted a running back in Round 1, and seemed determined to try and keep pace with the young guns in the division. Will the old vet find his mojo in likely his last season for the Steelers, or will the wheels truly and finally come off a few miles down the highway?

Roethlisberger's surgically repaired elbow was much worse than many believed, and it was evident he spent 2020 compensating and slowly getting back into form. He finished 33rd in the NFL in yards-per-completion with a 9.5 average as the offense transitioned from a big-play, down the field scheme, to become reliant on slants and screens. Throw in a complete lack of any running game, and an offensive line that got old in a hurry, and the Steelers looked downright pathetic, losing four of their final five games of the year after starting 11-0. The offense failed to reach 20 points in a three-game December stretch, and Ben turned the ball over 4 times in the first half during an embarrassing Wild Card loss to the Browns.

While Brady is a spry-looking 44 year-old, Roethlisberger is a grizzled, rickety 39. The quick, short passes allowed Pittsburgh's offensive line to look better on paper than it might have been, and they return ZERO players who started Week 1 of the 2020 season. DeCastro and tackle Kevin Dotson are building block players, but some younger guys are going to have to step up, as there were no meaningful additions to this unit in the draft. At this point in his career Big Ben is a complementary player, and I just don't feel great about him completing the season. I think the Steelers ride Harris to protect a fading defense, and take one more shot before the inevitable rebuild, making Roethlisberger a low end QB2.

News From The Past 90 Days
Injury Diontae Johnson off the Covid list
Placed on the list Thursday
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Jan 7, 3:03 pm

Pittburgh Steelers
The #Steelers have officially activated WR Diontae Johnson from the COVID-19 reserve list. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

FFToday's Take: Johnson was placed on the Covid list just yesterday and now removed a little over 24 hours later. He'll resume his role as the top option for Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh's version of the horizontal raid.

Injury Ben Roethlisberger expected to play Sunday night
Passed NFL’s required COVID-19 protocols
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Nov 20, 9:45 am

Pittburgh Steelers
#Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will be activated to the team’s 53-man roster after passing the NFL’s required COVID-19 protocols. He will fly separate this afternoon from the team’s charter plane to Los Angeles with the expectation of starting Sunday night vs the #Chargers. (Burt Lauten on Twitter)

FFToday's Take: Mason Rudolph will head back to the bench after going 30-50 for 242-1-1 with 36 rushing yards against the Lions. Roethlisberger is a middling fantasy QB2 that lacks any upside. He'll fill that role once again on Sunday night against the Chargers.

Injury Ben Roethlisberger placed on Covid-19 list, Out Week 10
Mason Rudolph will start
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Nov 13, 8:00 pm

Pittburgh Steelers
Ben Roethlisberger is being placed on the Reserve-COVID list and is out Sunday vs. Lions. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)

FFToday's Take: The NFL Covid protocols strike again. Mason Rudolph will step in for Big-Ben against the Lions. He played in Week 17 last year going 22-39, 315-2-1 against the Browns. You can argue that Rudolph isn't much of a downgrade from Roethlisberger thought Diontae Johnson and TE Pat Freiermuth probably carry a little more risk in Week 10.
