The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... HC Mike Tomlin told NFL.com over the weekend that Roethlisberger still had a little bit of discomfort in his surgically repaired knee entering training camp. The quarterback insisted Monday that his knee is a non-issue. "It feels great," Roethlisberger said. "I was excited to get back here. Took a big break after the surgery, took a couple weeks off, and I did that on purpose so I could have time to rest."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Characterized by NFL.com's Chris Wesseling as "svelte-looking," Roethlisberger said he started his workout program earlier than usual this offseason. He's now "really focused" about "getting back to playing good football" after the Steelers stood on the sidelines during the playoffs last season. The departure of Mike Wallace and the uncertainty surrounding Heath Miller's knee seem to be creating some question in the minds of fantasy owners, but don't sell Roethlisberger short -- especially with Big Ben carrying an ADP of 15. You can do much worse at QB2.
