sunysteelfly76 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 He has been awesome all season with the exception of a couple of weeks. One of the exceptions was last game vs Baltimore where he had 22 yards on 10 carries. Are you in the the "always start your studs" camp or the "he wont produce against the awesome BAL run D" camp? I think I'm going to sit him, but I'll probably change my mind 127 times before Sunday. I love this game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Having been burned for 22 yds by the ASYS earlier, I'm looking at sitting him in favor of FGore and maybe RBrown if I hear good things about RBrown's anticipated return ...

DMD Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Parker never has fared well against the Ravens and while he usually has big games at home, he only had 63 yards on 14 carries when the Ravens came to Pittsburgh last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 With good options I think I'd give him a rest but don't forget that every single time he touches the ball he is a threat to go all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 With good options I think I'd give him a rest but don't forget that every single time he touches the ball he is a threat to go all the way. Agreed. I have MJD and providing he is healthy his matchup is way better than FWP's. I think FWP is a certain first rounder next year but right now in week 16, MJD is my choice.

Nice to have a top 10 fantasy scorer available on the bench to fall back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunysteelfly76 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 every single time he touches the ball he is a threat to go all the way. This is my biggest concern keeping him on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Rising Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I dont think he'll pull in a huge game but could possible provide around 8-10 pts. Im putting him in my flex ....but had to really think between him and andre johnson.......did I mention I hate Carr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I don't like the match up either but you never sit your studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjpro11 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 he has a decent chance of racking up some nice receiving yards. there should be a number of dump off and screen passes because the ravens bring the house so often. however the steelers will probably use davenport a bit more to stay in and block when they are in passing situations. parker didnt do too well blocking the ravens last time. its a tough call.

Pitbull739 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Parker never has fared well against the Ravens and while he usually has big games at home, he only had 63 yards on 14 carries when the Ravens came to Pittsburgh last year. That's 4.5 per carry and the Steelers won that game if I remember correctly. What kind of role did Bettis play that game? Willie is not looking over his shoulder any more, although the Steelers never seem to run well against the Purple Browns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with Sammy Morris getting the start and Ronnie sharing carries, I'm back to starting Fast Willie vs the Ravens alongside Gore in my championship game -- with Brown, Morris, Dayne and Rhodes languishing on the bench ... C'mon, FWP!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellsworth187 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I want to get the sac to put him on the bench and leave in Addai and probably S Alexander. since Addai looks like a go and is close to a 1,000 milestone i may bench fast willie for those two. but i'm changing my mind every hour.

Skippy Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I'm doing my share of flip flopping here also. Addai looks like he is going to be playing so where I was going to start Rhodes and give Willie a rest looks like I may go and switch them.
