Ben Roethlisberger has been basically been throwing bombs all season whenever he's been on the field, and presuming he plays coming off of a concussion suffered in Week 12, he should be in your lineups on Sunday, particularly if you can't afford Newton.

Through seven games this season, Roethlisberger has thrown for over 300 yards five times. The other two were one in which he suffered a bone bruise and MCL sprain and got carted off the field and the game returning from that injury from a four-week absence. He also straight lit up the fifth-ranked Seahawks' passing defense for 456 yards in Week 12. And while it's doubtful he'll reach that gaudy number again in Week 13, he should put on a show against the Colts' 23rd ranked pass defense. Moreover, the Colts have quietly improved their efforts against the run this season, currently ranked as the 13th best run defense per our numbers, meaning the Steelers should find more success through the air anyway.

With a plethora of weapons in the passing game against a weak secondary and an implied point total of 27, Roethlisberger should feast this weekend. Lock him in if you're inclined to try and squeeze a pricier receiver into your lineup and can't roster Newton.
