Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Subsequent reports confirm the deal is done. ... Battle is familiar to Steelers special teams coach Al Everest, who had the same job in San Francisco for the last three years. He also has a reputation as a solid downfield blocker, something that is important in Pittsburgh. With recent reports suggesting the Steelers are ready to give up on Limas Sweed (team officials are said to be disappointed in his lack of toughness), Battle could provide the team with a viable fourth WR in addition to his special teams work.
