Fantasy Impact: Pittsburgh has certainly dealt with its fair share of injuries so far in 2012. Several players sat out of practice earlier in the week, but Wallace and Sanders appear to have just been receiving an extra day of rest to prepare for the Raiders this week. Their health directly affects the fantasy value of Ben Roethlisberger, who will still have two of his best targets to throw to this week. Oakland did not play well in the first two weeks of the season, so you can expect big things from the Pittsburgh offense in Week 3.
