Dennis Dixon To See The Field…

The Steelers have come out and said that Dennis Dixon - who is ahead of schedule rehabbing his torn ACL - will not switch positions. The 6′5″ athlete will be Ben Roethlisberger’s primary back-up, but will also see the field occassionally to switch things up on a key play.

Bruce Arians is much more creative than Ken Whisenhunt ever was as Steelers OC, and he could definitely use Dixon on some trick plays, the same way Antwaan Randle El was incorporated from time-to-time. Arians also may simply sit Big Ben on a couple plays this year and let the athletic Dixon have a few game reps. This doesn’t impact Ben’s fantasy value at all.
