I never hear anything about how bad this guy has been but he's killing me. He can't score, can't even have a good week against miami. I check the rankings every week out of curiosity and every week he's in the top 5 rbs. I don't think he'll ever be a good fantasy back. He doesn't play on the goal line and he can't catch a cold. Wish I'd have traded him or even outright dumping him would have been better.
He was supposed to get goal-line carries this year but the Steelers have either got a ton of bigger passes for TDs or play-action at the goal line. Davenport isn't stealing TDs; Parker just isn't getting in.
It's been bad luck more than anything that is keeping Parker out. He still is getting a ton of carries and has gone over 90 rushing yards in 7 out of his 11 games this season.
One thing I have noticed is that Parker struggles against bad run-stopping teams for whatever reason. I'm guessing it has more to do with other teams stacking the line and forcing the Steelers to throw, which the opposition thinks is the best way to counter the strong running game of Pitt.
His best fantasy game of the year was against the Bengals who are coming up this weekend. Apparently the field may be crappy again but I'm not convinced even that can help the Bengals do anything on defense.
You may be let down again but you almost have to start him this weekend. He does have some tougher matchups coming up though and if you can trade him still and get decent value, it may be worth it.

this topic should be, Mike Tomlin is killing me, not willie parker. I sick of Tomlin coming out and having Ben throw the ball all over and especially at the goal line. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen the Steelers have 1st and goal from inside the 5 and they throw the ball. Parker still gets alot of carries but allmost none of them are around the goal line.
