Fantasy Football News - According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette (which is not an official source, so keep your cool Roethlisberger owners), Ben is expected to start in week 14 versus the San Diego Chargers. Mike Tomlin later said that Ben will be given an opportunity in practice to prove he is healthy. I believe Mike, and we should all keep an eye on the reports starting with Wednesday’s practice.
FFLockerRoom Take - This would immediately upgrade fellow Steelers Jonathan Dwyer, Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace if Ben were able to suit up. Charlie Batch played his heart out and left everything on the field against the Ravens, and I admire him for that, but Roethlisberger gives the Steelers the best chance to win and gives his team mates the best chance to be fantasy relevant during the playoffs.
