Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (knee) officially out for Week 7

Oct 18, 2016

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been officially ruled out of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, coach Mike Tomlin announced Tuesday.

Tomlin won't speculate when Roethlisberger will return. Backup Landry Jones will get all the practice reps this week.

Fantasy Impact:

A source told ESPN that the Steelers are cautiously optimistic that Roethlisberger -- who had surgery for a torn meniscus in his left knee Monday -- can play Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens. Pittsburgh is scheduled for a Week 8 bye.

Rams RB Cam Akers is out Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, according to Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

It is best for Akers to be fully healthy before coming back, especially if he wants to compete for touches with Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson. It is a disappointing start to Akers' rookie season to say the least.

Saints WR Michael Thomas is out Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprise with Thomas being out. Emmanuel Sanders, Tre'Quan Smith, and Jared Cook will lead the Saints passing attack.

Jets WR Braxton Berrios is questionable to play Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, according to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.

Fantasy Impact:

Wayne Chrebet is going to have to suit up for the Jets at this point. Berrios managed double-digit targets starting last week. Even if he plays, he is not a starting-caliber player in fantasy.
