Ben Roethlisberger expected to miss at least four weeks

Ben Roethlisberger went down awkwardly in the third quarter against the St. Louis Rams, as a defender rammed his helmet into Ben's knee while his foot remained planted. Roethlisberger is expected to miss at least four weeks, but they are still unsure about the condition of his ACL. He will undergo an MRI Monday to determine the structure of his ligaments in his left knee.
Fantasy Impact:
Ben Roethlisberger was touted as a top fantasy quarterback coming into 2015, but this injury could be devastating to the Steelers and to your fantasy team. If Ben is out somewhere in the 4-6 week range, I would hold onto him because he will still have fantasy value as we approach the playoffs. If he is going to be out for eight weeks or more, I would drop him and try to add a Tyrod Taylor or Teddy Bridgewater if they are available on your waiver wire. Taylor could be added and immediately inserted into the starting role, as could Bridgewater.
