Ben Roethlisberger (COVID) preparing to play for Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (reserve/COVID-19 list) is preparing like he's going to play Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers, per offensive coordinator Matt Canada.

What It Means:

The expectation for most of the week has been that Roethlisberger will be back on the field versus the Chargers after he missed Week 10. Mason Rudolph will draw another start if Roethlisberger winds up not getting cleared in time.

The Chargers are allowing the sixth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the quarterback position this season and they have the eighth-best pass defense in our power rankings. Big Ben is the QB27 in numberFire's Week 11 fantasy rankings.
