The Facts:
The Steelers spent the better part of their second week of voluntary offseason practices on something they usually don't get around to until a week into training camp — the no-huddle offense — for good reason. The Steelers want to incorporate even more of the no-huddle offense into their game plan after the success they had last year. "I think it's something that we realized where we can be and what we did last year, and where we were successful, so I think we'll use it more,” Roethlisberger said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Steelers enjoyed a lot of success with the no-huddle during the second half of last season because Roethlisberger was able to call the majority of the plays at the line of scrimmage. The Steelers ran at least 15 no-huddle plays in each of the final nine games of the season. The Steelers went 6-3 during that span and averaged more than 10 points more per game compared to the first seven games. Overall, the Steelers ran 239 no-huddle plays last year, or 23 percent of their plays. Roethlisberger was extremely successful in the offense completing 102 of 163 passes for 1,221 yards and 10 of his 28 touchdowns. Fantasy football owners should take note of that success and the plan going forward -- especially given Roethlisberger's low ADP (currently 19th among all QBs on MyFantasyLeague.com).
