Big Ben's Schedule (1 Viewer)

Does Roethlisberger's late season schedule worry anybody else?

@Buff, @Bal, Cin, NYJ, and Car

All of those teams finished in the top ten in passing yards against last year.

Is Ben a guy that matchups don't matter or is this a real problem for the coming year....especially come fantasy playoff time.

well, whoever got ben, got him late, so he's most likely paired with another "weekly starter" QB

You don't worry about matchups with Peyton or Brees do you? You shouldn't with Roethlisberger either - he has proved that

 

[doogiej]

I suppose that was more my question. Is he of that ilk? He had seven of his fifteen starts last year with either zero or one passing tds.

I generally don't worry too much about strength of schedule because it is so hard to predict defensive effectiveness from season to season.

Brees, Rodgers, & Manning had 6 games with zero or one passing TD's.

Ben's best matchups have less to do with the ranking of the pass defense he's facing than it does with the ranking of the run defense. Pitt is not a great running team anymore, but will happily run all over a team if they are capable. If they are not, they will turn Ben loose and I'd say that is likely the case vs the late-season teams listed above.
