PFT: Good chance Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger misses Week 11

Nov 15, 2021

There’s a good chance that Ben Roethlisberger will miss Week 11’s trip to face the Chargers as well and the Steelers will need more than a chance to win that game in order to boost their position in the AFC playoff race.

Fantasy Impact:

If that's the case, it would appear Rudolph gets another chance to start in Week 11. The story said Rudolph did what the team expected him to do, which was give them a chance to win against the Lions, which ended in a tie. Rudolph was thrown in when Big Ben tested positive for COVID on Saturday so he didn't have a lot of time to prep. Rudolph probably did enough to earn the start over Haskins if Ben isn't cleared for Week 11.

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.

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.
