Ben Roethlisberger

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger turns 33 in March but he is still playing at a high level, and general manager Kevin Colbert said he has never seen the Steelers’ franchise quarterback look better.

“I think he’s had as good a spring as I’ve ever seen him have,” Colbert told ESPN.com on Monday. “I think he’s continued to move that into training camp and right now he’s getting acclimated to the young guys we have at wide receiver and at running back.”

Roethlisberger has been nothing if not engaged when working with the wide receivers, and he has coached them during training camp as much as he has thrown to them.

Fantasy Impact: 

Ben is ranked 16th and makes for a real nice QB2 with a chance to start him in certain matchups, especially if you wait at the position and address other needs. The Steelers are supposed to use a no-huddle offense this year and WR Markus Wheaton appears to be a break-out candidate.

During spring practice, Steelers OC Todd Haley remarked that he had trouble getting his own workouts in because WRs Markus Wheaton was hogging up the team practice facility.

Apparently, it’s working.

Wheaton was listed as the No. 2 receiver behind Antonio Brown on the Steelers’ initial depth chart released Sunday. Although it’s hardly surprising, Wheaton says he relishes the chance to hold down that spot.

“I’m glad they’re pushing me to take that spot,” said Wheaton, who had six receptions for 64 yards as a rookie. “Obviously, I want that spot but there’s lot of great guys competing for that spot.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Our very own scout Dale Lolley Tweeted that Wheaton was the WR2 on the Steelers initial depth chart Sunday. We consider him a breakout candidate and think the Steelers could run a lot of 3WR sets giving him a ton of chances. GMs are taking a flier on him with an ADP of the 15th round in 10-team leagues. Steeler WR2s have averaged 65-848-4.5 the last four years.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger has made it known for some time that he would like to have a big receiver. During a team third-down period, Roethlisberger's wide receivers were Dri Archer (5-foot-8), Antonio Brown (5-10), Lance Moore (5-9) and Markus Wheaton (5-11).

So who did Roethlisberger throw the ball to? How about 6-7 tight end Matt Spaeth. Spaeth beat rookie linebacker Ryan Shazier on a third-and-7 out pattern that resulted in a first down.
