Pittsburgh Steelers

Ben Roethlisberger, QB - After his motorcycle accident before the 2006 season, many wondered how he would play. After the first few weeks there were whispers that he was not as good anymore. Yet he ended the season with career highs in yardage (3,513) and TD's (18). The down side was that he over doubled his interceptions from any of his previous two years. Yet that could also be a by product of him throwing nearly a hundred more passes than any other season as well. The Steelers do not rely on the run as much as they used to and with the extra pressure on Big Ben, he will tend to throw a few more picks. It would not surprise me if he duplicates his numbers from last year though I would expect his IT's to drop a little. Look for 3500 yards and 18 TD's with only about 16 to 18 IT's.

Willie Parker, RB - Parker has allusiveness and a whole lot of speed. Many wondered if he could handle the full load of the every down back. His critics have been silenced. With a monstrous 1,494 yards and 13 TD's, he also added 222 yards receiving with 3 TD's. To expect him to eclipse those numbers in 2007 might be asking too much, but 1300+ yards and 10+ TD's is very attainable.

Hines Ward, WR - Not much can be said about Hines Ward. If he stays healthy he will end up with around 1000 yards and 7 TD's. He usually does.

Santonio Holmes, WR - In his rookie season, Holmes put up very respectable numbers. 49 grabs, 824 yards and 2 TD's. Considering that in his forst 4 games he never eclipsed more than 30 yards, you can expect him to build on those numbers in 2007. Look for something in the realm of 1000 yards and 6 TD's in 2007.

Heath Miller, TE - Miller seams to have settled in at somewhere around 400 yards and 5 TD's. Likely he will get somewhere in the same ballpark in 2007.
