Fantasy Football: 10 Players Who Won't Live Up to the Hype

Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been on the brink of boasting the NFL's best offense for years now, but it never seems to line up all at once. That's the case again this year, as Martavis Bryant is suspended for the season. Still, Ben Roethlisberger is being drafted at the end of the sixth round despite throwing to -- aside from Antonio Brown -- Markus Wheaton, Sammie Coates, and Eli Rogers.

We all hope that Ladarius Green's health returns, but if not, Roethlisberger downgrades from Heath Miller to Jesse James at tight end. Big Ben will benefit from Le'Veon Bell's receiving ability after Bell's three-game suspension is served, but mountains of question marks surround the Pittsburgh passer, yet he's being drafted as a sure thing.

Per Rotoviz's game splits app, Roethlisberger has averaged 25.3 fantasy points per game with Bryant in the lineup and just 20.4 without him since 2011. Further, since 2013 (and regardless of whether Bryant was in the lineup or not), Roethlisberger has averaged 19.1 points per game on the road but 26.1 at home. The upside is there, but you aren't getting a no-doubt, every-week passer with Roethlisberger, and there's no reason to waste a sixth-round pick on him.
