It’s always tough when you spend a high pick on a quarterback and they go down. Chances are you don’t draft a backup because you want to get more depth at running back or receiver, so you’re in a tight spot.
Fantasy football start/sit, Week 8: Ben Roethlisberger is back
Ben Roethlisberger is back! We break down the fantasy implications.
Well, fantasy owners of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had to go on without him since Week 4, but he's finally back. Big Ben will take on the Cincinnati Bengals at home and he'll also have his first game of the season with receiver Martavis Bryant for the first game of this season.
The Bengals are right in the middle for matchup difficultly, sitting at No. 16 for the toughest matchup for QBs. They haven't allowed more than one passing touchdown in any game since Week 3 and are coming off a bye. However, they really haven't faced receivers like Bryant and Antonio Brown.
Fantasy impact: You almost have to play Ben this week. He is already cleared to go and should be a QB6-8 in a must-win game.
