Mason Rudolph, Diontae Johnson's Fantasy Outlook with Ben Roethlisberger Out

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions, meaning backup Mason Rudolph is in line to get the start.

Rudolph hasn't started a game since Week 17 of the 2020 season. However, he might be a solid add for fantasy managers in need of a quarterback entering Sunday's slate of games.

The 26-year-old has appeared in 15 career games and is 5-4 in nine starts. Rudolph has completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 2,089 yards and 15 touchdowns against 10 interceptions for his career.
