Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Batch was injured during Friday night’s preseason opener and will apparently be out for an extended period of time. After Ben Roethlisberger, the team had no other veteran quarterbacks on the roster, with only Dennis Dixon and Mike Potts behind Batch on the depth chart. As PFT's Michael David Smith notes, both Leftwich and Culpepper have been unable to find work this offseason, or at least unable to find work they deemed worthy of accepting. Now that the preseason has begun, they seem to have accepted that they’re not going to be offered any starting jobs, and competing for a backup position is their best bet.
