Same here. Really glad I didn't try and trade him now.I'm going to start Andy Dalton. Thanks for asking.
I have Antonio, and it sucks that Ben is hurt again. At least Landry doesn't completely kill Antonio's value like Vick did.I think if anyone is more frustrated it's Antonio owners.
2-3 weeks? What is the diagnosis again?
Cam or Carr for me. For once I have options at QB. I'm more worried about what this does to Brown.I'll play Cam. I'm not dropping Ben.
Cousins at NO looks like the sneaky start there...Wash. should be down most of the game, and Saints D has stopped no one as yet...I have Ben, Cutler and Matty Ice. Ben is 99% out, Ryan is on a bye so it looks like Cutler vs Rams which I am not thrilled with.
WW options for me are:
Nick Foles vs Chicago
Landry Jones vs Cleveland
Teddy Bridgewater at Oakland
Kirk Cousins vs New Orleans
Matt Cassel @ Tampa Bay
Actually a couple of those aren't bad alternatives to Cutler.
I really like Cousins against the Saints this week. Cousins plays better at home. The Saints have allowed 10 passing TDs the last 2 weeks. Seems like a good move to me.I have Ben, Cutler and Matty Ice. Ben is 99% out, Ryan is on a bye so it looks like Cutler vs Rams which I am not thrilled with.

I am not a Big Ben owner, so no dog in the race for me, so just curious . . .I think you guys are right: Cousins is the play here.
You are right: they all have favorable matchups. I like Cousins cause New Orleans pass defense is truly awful and the game is at home.I am not a Big Ben owner, so no dog in the race for me, so just curious . . .I think you guys are right: Cousins is the play here.
Do you prefer Cousins (vs. NO) over Landry Jones (vs. Cle) and Matt Cassell (@ TB)? I think all three are decent fill-ins this week who are likely available on most WWs
Waiting for him to get the "OUT" (tick-tock/ tick-tock) tag so I can put him in one of my IR spots and pick up Hoyer for now.
Come on ... we all know you're not playing!Ben Roethlisberger - QB - Steelers
Ben Roethlisberger refused to rule himself out for Week 10 against the Browns.
"The bye will come at a good time, but I’m not even going to rule myself out this week," Roethlisberger said. "I’m going to take it one day at a time." Ben will almost certainly sit out this week, but his optimism suggests he has a good chance to return following the Week 11 bye. Landry Jones should start against Cleveland.

Landry Jones also has a good matchup at home but he will only be making his 2nd start and Ben is saying that he hasn't ruled himself out yet.
Cassel has a very good matchup but he is the only one of the three on the road.

Thanks for the reply.
I agree Cousins has the best matchup. While his volume of attempts was still up this Sunday, the game against TB is starting to look like an outlier as far as production. Cousins has failed to throw for multiple TDs in any other game. Then again, he is playing at home against the porous Saints' pass D. If Cousins maintains his volume of attempts, it seems likely he will have a good statistical day for fantasy purposes.
Does you no good this week thoughHasselbeck? He didn't look bad when he filled in previously
freaking bye weeksDoes you no good this week thoughHasselbeck? He didn't look bad when he filled in previously
I'm going with Cousins unless I hear for sure that Ben is playing. Even then I might stay with Cousins but it will be a tough decision.Regardless of his status this week, I'm rolling with Carr.
