Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (knee) leaves Week 6, expected to return

Oct 16, 2016

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger injured his left knee midway through the second quarter on a pass that was eventually intercepted by Dolphins safety Reshad Jones. As Roethlisberger rolled right, he was tripped by defensive lineman Jordan Phillips, but maintained his balance just before throwing downfield on a pass intended for Sammie Coates.

Roethlisberger limped from the field, and moments later, limped under his own power into the locker room. The team announced that Big Ben had sustained a left knee injury and that his return to Sunday's game is questionable.

Fantasy Impact:

NFL Red Zone showed Ben on the sideline with what looked like a wrap around his knee, but he appeared ready to go. Steelers Burt Lauten, the teams director of communications, announced Ben will return to the game.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

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.
