3 years agoPittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report. Roethlisberger hasn't been practicing on the first day of the week for most of the year, even when the team is playing on a normal week. The 39-year-old could be rested even more on a short week with a game coming up this Thursday against the Minnesota Vikings to kick off Week 14 action. Big Ben should be just fine to play this week, and he'll be facing a Vikings defense that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to QBs in 2021. Roethlisberger has looked better in the last three weeks, throwing for 772 yards on 116 attempts for six touchdowns and two interceptions. He'll be a midrange QB2 on a short week.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
