Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger plans to practice in full this week and hopes to play

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger intends to practice in full this week. He wants to try to give it a go Week 7. Big Ben says he wants to tape the knee up and see what he's got. "We're going to tape it and brace it and I'm going to see what I can do," Roethlisberger said. "My plan is to go out Wednesday and practice. We'll see what happens. I know I've got to be smart about it. I've got to be able to defend myself. We're just going to take it day by day."

Fantasy Analysis:

With Michael Vick possibly sidelined, the Steelers really need Roethlisberger back.
