Ben Roethlisberger Throws One TD, One INT In Loss
Ben Roethlisberger turned in another pedestrian outing in a 27-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 4. Roethlisberger completed 26 of 40 passes for 232 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the loss. The veteran quarterback's downward trend continues as he has yet to throw for multiple touchdowns in a game this season and has only topped 300 passing yards once in four contests. His lone score was a 45-yard hookup with wideout Diontae Johnson. Roethlisberger will look for better results at home in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos.

Ben Roethlisberger Back To A Full Practice Thursday
Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday, a day after he was listed as a limited practice participant. Roethlisberger has been managing pectoral and shoulder injuries for most of the year, but they won't keep him from playing in Sunday's wild-card playoff contest against the Kansas City Chiefs in what could be the final game of his career. The good news for Big Ben is that he will be getting receiver James Washington back from the COVID-19 list and potentially JuJu Smith-Schuster(shoulder) from Injured Reserve, but the bad news is the 39-year-old QB has been a low-ceiling, dink-and-dunk QB2 all year for fantasy purposes. He's merely a low-cost contrarian play in DFS at his $5,200 DraftKings salary for this weekend. Roethlisberger threw for only 159 yards with a TD and a pick back in Week 16 against the Chiefs.

Ben Roethlisberger Limited In Practice Wednesday
Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Roethlisberger has been managing these two injuries mostly all season long, so he'll be fine to play in what could be the final game of his storied career this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs on wild-card weekend. There's a reason why Big Ben is the lowest-salaried starting QB at DraftKings for this weekend's games. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer continues to dink and dunk underneath and is averaging a career-low 6.2 yards per attempt in 16 games this year with 22 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 16 games. Roethlisberger will be lightly owned in DFS, but he will come cheap, and the Chiefs defense has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to QBs this season.

Ben Roethlisberger Throws One TD In Week 17 Win
Ben Roethlisberger completed 24 of 46 passes for 123 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 26-14 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 17. In what he himself called his final regular-season game at Heinz Field Roethlisberger threw plenty, although his anemic 2.7 yards per attempt was painful to watch. His lone touchdown pass was a quick five-yard slant to Diontae Johnson in the second quarter. Roethlisberger will be a low-end QB2 against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18 to finish out the regular season.

Ben Roethlisberger - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Ben Roethlisberger will take on the Cleveland Browns at home in Week 17's Monday Night Football contest. Roethlisberger did not perform well against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16, throwing for just 159 yards and one touchdown. He will try to bounce back against a Browns team that he threw for 266 yards and a touchdown back in Week 8. Cleveland's defense is allowing the 16th-fewest fantasy points per game to the quarterback position this season. Roethlisberger has not been a very inspiring fantasy option for much of the season and will remain a low-end QB2 for Week 17.
