5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 8

Ben Roethlisberger Is Averaging a League-High 28.29 Fantasy Points in Home Games

No other player has seen a bigger difference in fantasy points per contest between home and away games this season than Ben Roethlisberger. He leads all players with 28.29 fantasy points per home game, but that total drops by a whopping 16.18 points for his three away games.

Roethlisberger's 12.11 average fantasy points in three road games this season ranks 21st among all quarterbacks. He has thrown 12 touchdown passes and 2 interceptions at home compared to 4 touchdowns and 4 interceptions on the road. Of course, that does include Week 6, in which he missed part of the game due to injury. And the overall sample size is small, but the split is alarming.

According to the Rotoviz Game Splits App, he has averaged 6.54 more points in home games, compared to on the road since 2011.

He missed Pittsburgh's Week 8 game against the New England Patriots, but he could return from his knee injury to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9.
