Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Roethlisberger suffered a separated shoulder in the Steelers' regular-season opener on Sept. 7 against Houston. He was intercepted three times in the Steelers' 24-20 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday. Tomlin said Roethlisberger's ability to throw the ball down the field was not affected as the game progressed against the Colts. ... Parker, meanwhile, has denied reports he has a torn labrum, but it's not impossible to play with such an injury. ... Stay tuned. We'll have more on both men in coming days.
