Ben Roethlisberger is still suffering behind a below-average offensive line (he was sacked three times Sunday), but he managed a decent fantasy football effort with 200 passing yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars.
Roethlisberger struggled to find any kind of consistency prior to Week 5. Then, in an outburst against the Tennessee Titans, he completed 70 percent of his passes and found the end zone five times compared to just one interception. Still, even with the stat-padding Roethlisberger's numbers are still relatively disappointing this season. Prior to last week's win, Roethlisberger had just three touchdown passes to five interceptions.
According to Yahoo! Sports, Roethlisberger would probably be a borderline starter in most leagues, coming in 10th in their fantasy rankings. How much stock you put in one great outing compared to the four prior mediocre performances is up to you.
