Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder) and his leading receiver, Santonio Holmes (ankle), head into this Sunday's game banged up. Adding salt to the wounds, they will play against Jacksonville in weather projected as a nasty mix of rain and snow.

Commentary: There was some concern during the week that Roethlisberger wouldn't be able to play. Likewise, Holmes remained questionable after his return in Week 14 against the Patriots, a game in which he caught only one ball and looked slow. They both practiced Friday, indicating they will play Sunday.

Fantasy Football Impact: What's "wintry mix" plus "bum throwing shoulder" plus "slow wide receiver" equal? It's best to avoid the Steelers' passing attack this week against the Jags.
