Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger to get MRI on knee

Oct 16, 2016

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger missed most of the second quarter of Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins after suffering a left knee injury.

Roethlisberger told reporters after the game he would get an MRI on his "black and blue" knee Sunday night, according to NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala.

Fantasy Impact:

Roethlisberger was caught from behind on a second quarter interception by Dolphins defensive end Jordan Phillips, who nicked the quarterback's foot during a rollout. Roethlisberger sat uncomfortably on the ground for a few moments before limping off the field. He was officially listed as questionable to return and eventually returned in the second half but reports said he didn't look 100-percent. The Steelers have a bye in Week 8 and if Ben can't go next week, Landry Jones would get the start.

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.
