The injury bug hit the quarterback position this weekend, with three starters going down mid-game. The backup who can help fantasy teams the most right now is Charlie Batch of the Steelers, who didn’t miss a beat when he stepped in for Ben Roethlisberger by completing 8-of-13 passes with two touchdowns. Batch has been with Pittsburgh for five years, is familiar with the system and seems to have a good rapport established with Hines Ward, throwing both touchdowns to him.
Seneca Wallace struggled against a tough Vikings defense, and could limit Seattle receivers if Matt Hasselbeck doesn’t return soon.
Andrew Walter’s injury shouldn’t have serious implications, since Oakland has struggled all year.
