Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has come crashing back to Earth following one of the best two-game stretches of any quarterback in history, passing for six touchdowns in Week 8 and Week 9.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 13: Ben Roethlisberger
Ben Roethlsiberger has cooled off since his consecutive two six-TD games. Can he get hot again on Friday?

In the past two weeks, he only had one TD in each game and one of those was particularly bad because it came against the easiest matchup in football, the New York Jets.
This week, he'll get another nice matchup against the New Orleans Saints, who rank as the 11th-easiest matchup to fantasy quarterbacks on the season. They tend to blitz a lot and the Steelers are prone to giving up sacks, so Roethlisberger isn't a completely safe option this week. Still, the Saints are awful on the road.
He is entering the week with basically his whole team healthy and another week of practice with his young receiver corps should help.
Fantasy impact: Ben is better at home and his fantasy owners should have him locked in this week.
