For the second consecutive weekend, a top-ranked fantasy quarterback went down with a significant injury.
After Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo suffered a broken collarbone in Week 2, Pittsburgh Steelers signal-caller Ben Roethlisberger sprained his MCL on Sunday and reportedly will miss four to six weeks.
His injury is a sizable blow, not just to Roethlisberger owners, but also to those expecting big things from running back Le’Veon Bell, wide receiver Antonio Brown and even wideout Martavis Bryant, who is set to return from suspension in Week 5.
So who should fantasy owners turn to at QB in Roethlisberger’s absence, and how does his injury affect the stock of Pittsburgh’s skill players? NESN.com’s Darren Hartwell was joined by FOX Sports’ D.J. Foster to answer that question and more, including a potential running back dilemma in Atlanta and the top targets on the Week 4 waiver wire.
