Culpepper or Leftwich to Steelers? : The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is reporting the Steelers are interested in signing either Daunte Culpepper or Byron Leftwich to back up Ben Roethlisberger after Charlie Batch was injured Friday night. Batch, who suffered a broken right collarbone in Friday's 16-10 exhibition victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, is expected to be out four to six weeks, according to coach Mike Tomlin. That leaves just rookies Dennis Dixon and Mike Potts on the roster to be the backups if they don't sign another. And Roethlisberger, who was sacked 93 times the past two years, takes more hits than almost any passer in the NFL.

Fantasy Analysis

The backup quarterback position is crucial for the Steelers and whoever wins the job, be it from outside the organization or one of the rookies, would be a waiver-wire pick up should Roethlisberger injure himself at any point.
