Roethlisberger has completed 64% of his passes for 1,487 yards and a 10:2 TD:INT ratio.
Fantasy Impact: Big Ben gets banged up enough that he always finds himself on the injury reports, but it doesn’t usually stop him from playing. Expect him to be listed as probable in today’s reports later on.
Despite the Steelers’ injury issues, Ben remains a must-start fantasy QB, and should tee off on Cincy’s woeful pass defense this week.
