Fantasy Football: 5 Historical Vegas Trends You Should Know for Week 16

Start Ben Roethlisberger as a Home Favorite

The Pittsburgh Steelers are favored by 5 points against the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day. If the Steelers -- who have a one-game lead on the Ravens -- win, they win the AFC North division title. Obviously, there is plenty on the line for both teams.

While you are sitting around the dinner table enjoying your Christmas ham, Ben Roethlisberger may be going HAM on the Ravens' stingy defense. Roethlisberger has been an absolute monster playing at Heinz Field. According to the Rotoviz Game Splits App, Since the start of 2014, Roethlisberger has averaged 30.38 fantasy points per game at home. This is an unbelievable track record. When the Steelers have been favored at home, he has averaged 29.19 fantasy points per game over that same time span.

The Steelers are 9-5 against the spread this season while the Ravens are just 6-8 against the spread.

There is some risk involved in starting Roethlisberger against a quality defense like the Ravens defense, so he's probably best suited for tournaments. His upside is undeniable, and his ownership should remain low because of the matchup and also because he does not play until Sunday. Roethlisberger is currently priced at $7,900 on FanDuel, which ranks 9th among quarterbacks.
