can't see how anyone gets a bump with a 3rd string Qb starting
I don't doubt he'll get looks, but will the Steelers be able to sustain any drives and get close to the end zone? Could see a 6 catch, 40 yard night.

I agree. I would not start any of the Wrs/TE unless my other options are completely useless.
Define useless. Like Austin Collie? Antonio Bryant? Or worse than that?
I would start Bryant over him. Collie maybe. I really don't think the Pitt WRs will do much. I'd rather be proved wrong and have sat them than have known better and still played them.

I had Ward as my starting #2 WR and Nate Burleson starting at my flex. Just bumped Burleson up to #2 and benched Ward. With Portis out, this leaves Cadillac Williams or Bernard Scott (if Benson doesn't play) at my flex. Yikes!
Just a little insight to what a fellow Ward owner is doing.

Did I miss something somewhere? Sounds like Big Ben is officially out?

Yes he was ruled out by lunch yesterday.

I think this is a good week to bench Ward if you have options. Unfortunately, in one league both of mine played Thursday. 
I do have Burleson, but not sure that is an upgrade. Leaning toward sitting him for Cotchery in other league.

I'm benching Ward for Meachem and Miller for Carlson in a TD only league.
I read in the paper today that Arians says they wont change what they are doing on offense drastically.
Actually how could they? They will have to score. The Pitt D will give up points especially without Troy P.
If anything the Steelers could find themselves down and having to throw to get back in.
The Steelers are no where near a lock for a playoff spot yet so this game is really important.
I don't know, but I think Ward and Miller are strong plays here. Security blankets for an inexperienced QB.

FWIW, Matthew Berry just gave them both a slight upgrade. Doesn't like Holmes, though.

The Steelers sure as heck can't run the ball.

Fabian Washington is out, Suggs is a game time decision... I would double think benching all Steelers.. Dixon isn't Ben, but he stuck on the roster for a reason. If they didn't have a love for Batch, he would be the backup no problem.
Sounds like he is due.
Who is this Lunch you speak of?

Ward is a Top 10 fantasy receiver this season. I'm starting him despite the matchup and QB situation.

Dixon really didn't impress me much in preseason. Going against Baltimore on the road in prime time for a game with playoff implications is not a good time to make your first start. I am hoping he will surprise us but I think Dixon starting is a downgrade to all Steelers WRs.
