2020 Outlook
Depth Chart
Sure, some teams get hit with a rash of injuries, but what the Steeler offense dealt with last season was bordering on silly. After Roethlisberger went down in Week 2 with a season ending elbow injury, Pittsburgh lost their No.1 running back (Conner) and No.1 receiver (Smith-Schuster) for a total of 10 additional games and could simply not find any rhythm or consistency in the games they did play in. Combined with the injuries and inexperienced back-ups taking over for Big Ben, Pittsburgh plummeted from 4th in total offense in 2018 to 30th in 2019.

As we sit here mired in the tumultuous summer of 2020, there are a slew of unanswered questions revolving around the Steeler offense, and they start with the 38-year-old QB starting his 17th season in Black and Gold. His last full season was one for the ages, as he finished as the No.2 overall fantasy quarterback, with career highs in attempts, yardage, and touchdowns. Although guys like Brady and Brees make it seem 38 is young for quarterbacks now, Roethlisberger has much more wear and tear than the other guys around his age. The bevy of lower body injuries he's had over the years make him a statue in the pocket, and none of those other old fellas is coming back from a serious throwing arm injury. Heck, the jury is still out on how effective he can be without Antonio Brown, and the one full game he played last season was an abysmal 33-3 loss to New England.

With 16 years of numbers to analyze we know that more times than not Roethlisberger has been a QB1. The abundance of playmakers around him was always enough to ensure his numbers stayed consistent, but things have swung wildly in the other direction in just one calendar year. With health a bigger question mark than ever and a supporting cast still going through growing pains, can the vet return to piece it all together? I'm very skeptical. At his age, even fully recovered, there has to be a loss in velocity off his fastball, and it remains to be seen just how much formal work he will get with his teammates before the start of the season. Can Conner return to 2018 form? Can Ju-Ju ascend and play up to the #1 receiver gig? Can some of the young guys develop into reliable playmakers? Most of this hinges on the return of Roethlisberger. There is a boatload of fantasy value in this offense IF Big Ben is healthy enough to see it through. The spectra of injury, age and ineffectiveness is just too much for me to buy in as a QB1, but I would take a flier on Roethlisberger as my back-up in the later rounds.

Ben Roethlisberger to sit Week 17, Mason Rudolph to start
Steelers at Browns

Pittburgh Steelers
Mike Tomlin says they may also rest more starters, but will only acknowledge right now that Ben Roethlisberger will not play vs. Browns. Positional health will dictate who else gets a rest. May go more rotational at other spots than fully sitting other players. (Brooke Pryor on Twitter)

FFToday's Take: Any fantasy owners wanting to start the skill players from Pittsburgh will need to rethink their options. Mason Rudolph will get the start at QB. The Steelers (12-3) have clinched a playoff spot but the Browns (10-5) still need to get a win. It's quite possible that Diontae Johnson and JuJu Smith-Schuster could see limited action.
