Ben Roethlisberger Fantasy Outlook Soars Following Latest COVID Update

The Pittsburgh Steelers and fantasy football managers alike were holding their breath this week when Ben Roethlisberger was put on the COVID/Reserve list.

Thankfully for both groups, he's been activated, meaning he should be clear to play against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

This news makes him a great fantasy option this week. He draws a primo fantasy matchup against the Bengals, who rank No. 26 in Football Outsiders' Pass pass defense DVOA metric.

Big Ben is fresh off a season-high 25.0 fantasy point performance in Week 9, and he's eclipsed 20 points three times this season. A matchup with Cincy puts him in a great spot to do that again.

Roethlisberger checks in at No. 7 among QBs in our Week 10 fantasy football rankings.
