Roethlisberger: 'I'm going to try' to play Week 13

Nov 26, 2012

"I'm going to try," injured quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said when asked if he thought he could play against the Ravens. "It's killing me to watch."

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers suffered a bad loss to the Brown after trotting out Charlie Batch as the starting QB. Turnovers cost them a game that should have been a win. With Baltimore looming in Week 13, Pittsburgh needs Roethlisberger to play this week. Even if he does, he'll likely be at the very least somewhat limited, so throwing him right back in your starting fantasy lineup may not be the best idea until we see what he can do.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
