Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger doesn't expect his knee to be an issue moving forward
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger told reporters after Week 9's win over the Dallas Cowboys that he doesn't expect his knee to be an issue moving forward.
What It Means:
If true, it's excellent news for Roethlisberger and the fantasy value of every single member of the Steelers, who all saw last season what happens when Pittsburgh is forced to turn to their backup quarterbacks. After suffering a knee injury near the end of the first half, Roethlisberger went to the locker room but returned for the second half and completed a comeback against the Cowboys. Next up for Ben and the Steelers is a meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10.
Roethlisberger completed 29 of 42 attempts for 306 yards and 3 touchdowns in Week 9, resulting in 25.04 FanDuel points. Our models project him to score 19.5 FanDuel points against the Bengals in Week 10.
