NFL
10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 4
On top of the injuries around the league, bye weeks have begun. Which fill-ins might be able to help in Week 4?

Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Ben Roethlisberger hasn't done much this year in the way of putting up fantasy points, having faced the Browns, Ravens, and Panthers. As of Sunday night, he was owned in 81.5% of ESPN leagues, so he doesn't really fit the criteria, either. But he was started in only 10.5% of leagues against the Panthers.

Frustrated owners might part ways with him, but that might be a bit hasty. Roethlisberger faces the Buccaneers in Week 4 in Pittsburgh. The Bucs allowed 230 yards and 2 touchdowns to Derek Anderson in Week 1 and were torched by Matt Ryan on Thursday night, allowing 286 yards and 3 touchdowns in just over a half of football.

Roethlisberger, though, was one of the best quarterbacks in the league in the second half of the 2013 season, throwing multiple touchdowns in six of nine games and twice throwing for four touchdowns. The matchup is right, and Roethlisberger also gets the Jaguars in Week 5 in case you're looking for a multi-week streaming option.
