Fantasy Impact:

News about Roethlisberger's elbow has been positive all off-season. It's noteworthy that Pittsburgh hasn't signed a high-profile backup after some horrific quarterback play following his injury last season. Of course, that could be completely unrelated to Roethlisberger's health. Still, a fully recovered "Big Ben" would do wonders for all Steelers skill position players in fantasy this season. “As we sit here today, we are extremely confident in his readiness,” Tomlin said during an interview with NFL Network. “We are enjoying the process that he’s going through right now."
