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 ...
