Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers offense have not been as dominant as we all expected, but they have been good enough for Ben to remain an elite fantasy quarterback.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 12: Ben Roethlisberger a must-start vs. Colts
Big Ben is an easy call vs. a Colts defense getting gashed by nearly every quarterback they face.

Entering Week 12, Ben ranks seventh in fantasy scoring among quarterbacks. Even with his meniscus tear earlier in the season, Ben has managed to throw for 20 touchdowns and 2,524 while adding a rushing score.
It also helps him this week that the Colts’ offense may find it tough staying on the field with Andrew Luck (concussion) likely out. That should lead to Ben getting more chances to light up a defense he has owned in recent years.
In his last two games vs. Indy, Ben has thrown for 886 yards, 10 touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Ben as the fifth-best quarterback in Week 12. He faces a Colts defense allowing the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.
There is no doubt Ben should be in your starting lineup this week.
