Fantasy Football Owners Are Hoping Ben Roethlisberger Drinks Plenty Of Milk This Week

It is getting down to crunch time for fantasy football players. Pretty soon the regular season will end and it will be time for the playoffs. So for those who drafted Ben Roethlisberger, his injury could not have come at a worse time. Healthy and active, he is one of the best in fantasy football as are his targets. With every win vital to making the playoffs his owners can't afford to go without him.

The problem, however, is that for the time being there is no clear indicator of whether he is going to be in or out.

Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks Roethlisberger self-reported a concussion after taking a hard hit (in the play above). Early word made it sound like he is going to be fine. He reported himself that he has passed the concussion tests and was fine, but according to the team he failed and does indeed have a concussion.

Roethlisberger says he thinks he aced the test today. Doesn's see any issue that would prevent him from playing Sunday

So--how bad is it? Hearing a player say he is okay is nothing new, but when the team corrects him you have pause for a moment and wonder. Is he so bad off he thought he could fake being cool and believe he actually got away with it?

We'll likely have to wait till the injury report comes out Sunday night. Maybe he should just start chugging milk. He said it helped his foot injury heal well enough to allow him to return without missing a game.

Sure would be nice if he didn't miss one now.
