At least Kurt Warner and Ben Roethlisberger did not leave their fantasy owners hanging in week 11.

Both players hung fat numbers on the live scoreboards across fantasy leagues on Sunday before exiting with head injuries. Warner left late in the first half against St. Louis, giving way to Matt Leinart. Roethlisberger, meanwhile, played into the first series of overtime but was replaced by Charlie Batch after taking a knee to the head.

As for the status of these players this weekend?

If you ask Warner or Roethlisberger, both quarterbacks would tell fantasy owners that all systems are go as of today. Warner claims to have no effects of a concussion following getting smashed to the turf in St. Louis. He added that he does not think he suffered a concussion nor has he had one in the last six years. Warner expects to play this weekend.

Meanwhile, sources close to the Steelers claim that Roethlisberger is fine and should suit up to play this weekend. Complicating matters for the Steelers is the fact that Batch, Roethlisberger’s backup, will miss at least six weeks due to a wrist injury.

Neither player has to suit up this Thursday so fantasy owners have some time to see how these guys progress throughout the practice week. Keep close watch, fantasy owners.
