Ben Roethlisberger News
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) practiced in full the last two days and will play on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs in the wild-card clash, which could be the final game of his storied career. The 39-year-old just doesn't have a whole lot left in the tank, as he ranked 15th in the NFL with 3,740 passing yards this year, throwing only 22 touchdown passes in 16 games. He also averaged a career-low 6.2 yards per attempt during the regular season and went over 300 yards in a game just twice. Roethlisberger has been a low-upside QB2 all season, but he's cheap in DFS as a contrarian play this weekend and will be facing a Chiefs defense that allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing QBs this year.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday, a day after he was listed as a limited practice participant. Roethlisberger has been managing pectoral and shoulder injuries for most of the year, but they won't keep him from playing in Sunday's wild-card playoff contest against the Kansas City Chiefs in what could be the final game of his career. The good news for Big Ben is that he will be getting receiver James Washington back from the COVID-19 list and potentially JuJu Smith-Schuster(shoulder) from Injured Reserve, but the bad news is the 39-year-old QB has been a low-ceiling, dink-and-dunk QB2 all year for fantasy purposes. He's merely a low-cost contrarian play in DFS at his $5,200 DraftKings salary for this weekend. Roethlisberger threw for only 159 yards with a TD and a pick back in Week 16 against the Chiefs.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Roethlisberger has been managing these two injuries mostly all season long, so he'll be fine to play in what could be the final game of his storied career this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs on wild-card weekend. There's a reason why Big Ben is the lowest-salaried starting QB at DraftKings for this weekend's games. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer continues to dink and dunk underneath and is averaging a career-low 6.2 yards per attempt in 16 games this year with 22 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 16 games. Roethlisberger will be lightly owned in DFS, but he will come cheap, and the Chiefs defense has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to QBs this season.
