There is concern QB Ben Roethlisberger has broken foot

Oct 03, 2011

Ben Roethlisberger limped out of the locker room with a boot on his left foot, and there was concern it might be broken. X-rays were not immediately revealed and Roethlisberger said he was unaware if it was broken.

"I don't know," Roethlisberger said of the prospect of playing against Tennessee Sunday at Heinz Field. "You know me, if I can be out there I'm going to be out there. That's so for next week, too."

Fantasy Impact:

Backups are Charlie Batch and Dennis Dixon. Obviously this puts a bit of a hit on Mike Wallace's value. The Steelers would normally turn to their running game, but their offensive line is banged up to the point it hasn't been successful at all this year.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

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.
