Roethlisberger, Derek Carr or Bortles?

I feel confident both Big Ben and Carr are better options this weekend than Bortles but which would you start?

Roethlisberger, though, has massive home-away splits over the past two years, where his passing-yard average dips from an incredible 347.6 yards with a 39:11 TD-to-INT ratio at Heinz Field to 287.4 yards with a horrific 14:14 TD-to-INT clip on the road. Losing Martavis Bryant is also a concern for Roethlisberger, who has averaged 331.2 yards with 43 touchdowns over his last 22 games with Bryant versus 269 yards with 35 TDs in Ben's last 22 games sans Martavis. And the matchup isn't quite as good as some may believe against a Washington defense that boasts an underrated pass-rush duo in Ryan Kerrigan and Preston Smith and might compete for the NFL's stingiest cornerback tandem in RCB Bashaud Breeland and LCB Josh Norman.
Food for thought.

I would go Carr here. Then Roeth.

I keep reading about GB is good with pass defense.

Then again who knows. First game.

I'd still probably go Big Ben since he's your best QB, but I wouldn't blame you at all if you start Carr against the trash arse Saints though. It's pretty much a toss up.

Bortles outscored both Big Ben and Carr last season by almost 3ppg. Big Ben only outscored Carr by .4ppg.

Just pointing out that Big Ben isn't some fantasy juggernaut. His best season was 2014 at 22.8ppg - a full 1.2ppg less than Bortles last season.

Both Bortles and Carr are going into their 3rd seasons with good weapons.

I think you just play the matchup here.
