ESPN's Bob Holtzman is reporting that Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (ribs, shoulders) has "a less than 50 percent chance" of playing in Week 13 against the Ravens. Big Ben suffered a dangerous, life-threatening rib dislocation in Week 10 and it's the biggest issue remaining in his recovery.
Ben Roethlisberger ‘less than 50 percent chance’ to play Sunday: Fantasy implications

The Steelers are expected to let Ben try to gut it out in practice this week, but it’s far from a sure thing.
Fantasy Impact: It’s still a touch-and-go situation. Ben is a tough player, and if the dislocated rib hadn’t threatened his life he may have suited up last week.
We’ll keep monitoring the situation this week as the Steelers face a “must win” game against the AFC North leaders. The offense is a complete mess without him.
