Steelers lose QB Ben Roethlisberger, RB James Conner in Week 2

Sep 15, 2019

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their starting quarterback after Ben Roethlisberger suffered an injury to his throwing arm toward the end of the first half against the Seattle Seahawks.

During the fourth quarter, running back James Conner limped off the field and went into the medical tent.

Related players: Mason Rudolph, Jaylen Samuels, Benny Snell Jr.

Fantasy Impact:

No update was given on either player the story said. Roethlisberger appeared to injure is right elbow. Conner appeared to be holding his left knee. He did not return with a knee injury. Rudolph would take over if Ben can't go Week 3, while Samuels and Snell would battle it out for touches in the backfield.

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.
