Fantasy football owners were probably not happy with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger last week. He came in as the hottest quarterback possibly ever with back-to-back games of six touchdowns. Well, he and the Steelers were shut down by the New York Jets in a stunning loss.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: Ben Roethlisberger
Ben Roethlisberger had one of the biggest letdowns of the season in Week 10. Should fantasy owners just forget about it and use him again?

Although, with a garbage-time touchdown to receiver Martavis Bryant, Ben was able to salvage a day of 343 passing yards, one score and two interceptions. Not thrilling, but that's a serviceable line and most fantasy owners wouldn't complain had Ben been coming in with no momentum.
This week, he'll be on the center stage against the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football. The Titans have surprisingly done a tremendous job against fantasy quarterbacks as the 10th-toughest matchup this season after being one of the easiest in 2013. They've only allowed one passing touchdown in each of their last four games and have allowed multiple touchdowns just twice all season.
Fantasy impact: Ben was just too hot before last week to bench this week. He’s a top-eight play even in a sub-par matchup.
