Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (ribs) doesn't start second half

Dec 09, 2018

The Pittsburgh Steelers started the second half of Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Roethlisberger suffered a rib injury in the first half and remained in the locker room for evaluation, the Steelers announced. Roethlisberger is questionable to return, and backup Josh Dobbs opened the third quarter under center.

Fantasy Impact:

The exact point when the Roethlisberger suffered the injury is unclear, but he took a shot at the 5:15 mark of the second quarter when Raiders defensive tackle Clinton McDonald sacked him for a 6-yard loss. FOX Sports' replay showed McDonald land on Roethlisberger after the hit, the story said.

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
