Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger (rest) officially ruled out for Week 17's game against Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (rest) is ruled out for Week 17's contest against the Cleveland Browns.

What It Means:

Roethlisberger will not be active on Sunday after the veteran was ruled out for rest reasons. Mason Rudolph will make the start under center in an underrated matchup against a Browns' defense ranked 23rd in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks.

Rudolph's current Week 17 projection includes 23.2 completions for 242.3 yards and 1.1 touchdowns.
