Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger puts in full practice Wednesday

Maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers can beat the Cleveland Browns this week much like how they beat the St. Louis Rams last week: Without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. But if Wednesday's practice report is any indication, Roethlisberger will be starting in week 17. Roethlisberger practiced fully on Wednesday, and it looks like he's ready to play again after resting his sprained left ankle in week 16.

Fantasy Analysis:

Of course, there are already reports that the Steelers want Ben to play only 25-30 snaps versus the Browns, so Charlie Batch @CharlieBatch16 will probably still have a role this week. While he's just about ready to play again, I can't recommend Roethlisberger this week while he's on a pitch count against, statistically speaking, one of the best pass defenses in the league. He may play a half at most.
