Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers, $7,900

Stats: 3,202 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, 76 rushing yards, 3 touchdowns 

Ben Roethlisberger is having an MVP-like season in 2018. Roethlisberger is second in passing yards and third in rushing touchdowns. You heard us right, third in rushing touchdowns among quarterbacks. He travels to Denver in Week 12.

The Broncos defense hasn’t been anything to fear like it once had been. We don’t think it would matter, though, as Roethlisberger carved that elite Denver defense up as well, so why should we fear his road matchup in Week 12? Every team has a statement win during their season, a win where their team is defined. We believe Week 11’s win against their bitter rivals in Jacksonville, the Steelers got that inspiring win.

Roethlisberger has averaged 320 passing yards and two scores per game in 2018. He will go up against a defense that is 19th-ranked against the pass. Denver has allowed 375.5 yards and an astounding 128 rushing yards per game. This isn’t a good matchup for the Broncos defensively or offensively. Roethlisberger will have another big game at Mile High.

Prediction: 350 passing yards, 3 touchdowns
