elmanx Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I have Parker in two leagues. League One (points for yardage, TDs and receptions) I have LT vs Denver Rudi vs Minnesota Parker vs Houston Which two would you start? League Two (points for yardage, TDs, but NO points for receptions) I have Deuce vs NY Giants J. Lewis vs Tenessee Parker vs Houston Which two would you start? My head says to bench Parker in both leagues, but my gut says to start Parker over Rudi in League 1 and over Deuce in League 2. Any suggestions?

BeerBuzzard Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Parker we'll do great with Hou, but I agree with Onbrake, Start your studs and let Parker slide on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbull739 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 You did not draft Willie in the first or second round for a reason. Studs vs. gut feelings & matchups is always a dilemma. I say run, Fast Willie, run!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Man Inc Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Parker we'll do great with Hou, but I agree with Onbrake, Start your studs and let Parker slide on these. 993912[/snapback] Ditto, I also think Parker will have a good game against the Texans but you have studs in both leagues that have good mathups. Besides, Parker needs to do a little more to prove himself. One good game against TEN, running behind the Steeler O-Line, does not make you a stud. He might become one soon but not quite yet.

admtahoe Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I would avoid Parker too. I guarantee you with Roth having a possible knee issue, the opposing team will run a RUN DEFENSE all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombs Away Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I would avoid Parker too. I guarantee you with Roth having a possible knee issue, the opposing team will run a RUN DEFENSE all day long. 994017[/snapback] I guarantee you that he'll get a few more passes coming out of the backfield, and we know what he can do in open field. I guarantee you that Houston's defense won't be able to stop Parker with or without Rothlesberger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? 993887[/snapback] I think you should see what you can get for Parker... but that's me Start your A RBs unless you want to the RISK/REWARD of calling your shot and making your point.

Walker in one league), but no one is interested enough. What I've found is that people who actually own Parker tend to overestimate his value, while people who don't own him underestimate his value and claim that he is just a one week wonder. If he has another good week I might be more successful in making a good trade. Thanks everyone for the good responses. Based on the replies, I am going to definitely bench him league 2 and most likely bench him in league one also (need to think a little more about that one).
