Steelers' Landry Jones: Filling in for Roethlisberger

Jones is in line for fill in at QB for the Steelers in place of Ben Roethlisberger, who ESPN.com suggests could miss four to six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

Analysis:

While Roethlisberger's recovery timetable is not necessarily cemented, it is known that Jones will start Sunday's game against the Patriots, at a minimum. Jones has much to prove before being considered a reliable fantasy option, but working in his favor is that the Steelers do boast a pair of top-notch pass-catching options in wideout Antonio Brown and running back Le'Veon Bell.
