Steelers Fantasy Depth Chart

Ben Roethlisberger set a franchise record with 32 TD passes last season, elevating him as a top tier fantasy quarterback. See how the rest of the Steelers rank in this depth chart summary.

Star-divide

PITTSBURGH STEELERS
         FANTASY DEPTH CHART

 

Key:

PTR = Position Tier Rank. This is the tier level where the player should be slotted in drafts.

1 = Elite Player.

2 = Solid Performer

3 = Backend starter/Bench fill-in

4 = Roster filler or long-term prospect

0 = No value

ITR = In The Rotation

PB = Position Battle

S = Starter

 

QB                                          PTR
Ben Roethlisberger - S           1
Charlie Batch                           4
Dennis Dixon                           0
Summary: Big Ben had by far his best season statistically.  The Steelers offense has evolved from a run heavy attack to a more balanced approach.  He may not repeat his impressive 32 TD performance from last season, but 26-30 is attainable.  His mobility out of the pocket may even get you a couple of rushing TDs too.

RB                                           PTR
Willie Parker - S                       2
Rashard Mendenhall - ITR    3
Mewelde Moore                      4
Summary: Parker had 1,316 yards before a broken leg ended his season, but is fully healed now.  The only reason he is not ranked as tier 1 running back is due to his low 2 TD production.  That total will not increase much with the addition of first round draft pick Mendenhall, who has the size to be an effective short yardage option inside the five - an area where Parker has not excelled.  Moore will be used as a receiving threat out of the backfield and will also return punts.
