I own him in all the leagues that I'm in and no one has approached me yet. Based on comments made by people on here, I'm going to try to pacakge Willie with a half decent WR and go after TO.I was offered brandon lloyd(wr)..........i laughed at him.
I want a wr for him on the lines of d.branch-chad johnson-j.horn-s.smith.
Dude take the money(moss)and run.I was offered R Moss + Givens + filler for Parker + Staley + Mi. Clayton + Delhomme. Team offering lost J Walker, has Bettis and no QB.
Leaves me extremely thin having to start a WR at the flex position the rest of the year. So it's a tough spot. This is exactly what I was hoping for in the sell high scenario but now I'm second guessing myself after watching him play. Why? If I think Parker starts the rest of the year, I likely turn it down. If I think RBBC then it's a no brainer. Again, tough spot after this huge week from Parker.
Man I feel like I need to for even contemplating not making this deal. This Parker kool-aid is killing me.
That's giving up way too much for Moss since he won't put up that many more points than Clayton.I was offered R Moss + Givens + filler for Parker + Staley + Mi. Clayton + Delhomme. Team offering lost J Walker, has Bettis and no QB.

That's just the thing. Everybody thinks this is a sell-high moment for Willie Parker, but what if this is actually a buy-low moment? There was a time Priest Holmes was in a similar position Willie Parker is in right now. People doubted Holmes on the assumption that he couldn't sustain that success for an entire season, wouldn't you have liked to acquire Priest Holmes back then rather cheaply relative to what he sold for once he really became established in the Kansas City offense? This could be a great time to buy Willie Parker or hold 'em if you got him.....not sell.Man I feel like I need to for even contemplating not making this deal. This Parker kool-aid is killing me.
Trading away the Steelers rushing game, a good QB and a top 20 WR for Moss?Dude take the money(moss)and run.I was offered R Moss + Givens + filler for Parker + Staley + Mi. Clayton + Delhomme. Team offering lost J Walker, has Bettis and no QB.

Wait wait wait... what exactly is this trade???? Who are you giving up, and who are you getting?I was offered R Moss + Givens + filler for Parker + Staley + Mi. Clayton + Delhomme. Team offering lost J Walker, has Bettis and no QB.

1 starter for 2 sounds good enough. Depends on what you have at WR and RB.Parker for JJ Arrington and Boldin
Thoughts?
I like itParker for JJ Arrington and Boldin

That may be the trade with the other team, but it is not the trade in your lineup which is the correct way to analyze the trade.Was Parker starting? If not, Arrington is going to bench?Parker for JJ Arrington and Boldin

Just had a flashback to my week two trade of Barry Foster. Foster outperformed the so called studs I kept.Trade Willie Parker?
Maybe we should just start the thread now;
"Hi, my name is _______ and I traded Willie Parker. I have a problem. I thought he was good, but all the sharks told me to sell him high. My name is _______ and I have a problem hanging on to fantasy studs."
GROUP: "It's OK _______. The first step to recovery is acknowledging the problem. We're all in this together."
Do you want to be part of this GROUP?

Sorry to hijack, but you have Branch and C Johnson in the same tier of WRs?I was offered brandon lloyd(wr)..........i laughed at him.
I want a wr for him on the lines of d.branch-chad johnson-j.horn-s.smith.
Well said! I would like to thank the members of footballguys.com to really making me aware of Parker. Drafted him with a 17th Round Pick. The Risk to keep em here is worth the reward. I believe the same goes for LJ.Swinging for the homerun might payoff with Parker, I hopeWith Pittsburgh's rushing attack, I'm with the collective that thinks he could be lightning in a bottle.
While my plan a couple weeks ago was to stash him and sell high, I don't need a mid-level receiver right now, so I'm switching gears and trying to acquire Staley as hype insurance.
Parker is definitely manageable risk, folks.
I think the sample is large enough to take it.
LJ is different. LJ is part of a 2 man RBBC and its the best RBBC situation in the league. And he is one Priest injury away from being the #1 RB in all of FF. Parker will be part of a 3 man RBBC when everyone is healthy. He and Duce will split carries between the 5s and the Bus gets the goalline work. And even if the Bus gets hurt, then I think Staley would get the goalline carries.I'd sell now.Well said! I would like to thank the members of footballguys.com to really making me aware of Parker.

Happy ending?I got offered Ronnie Brown, a ham sandwich, and a backrub from his wife. I took it.
No. That would've cost me Warrick Dunn as well, and this is a PPR league we're talking about here.Happy ending?I got offered Ronnie Brown, a ham sandwich, and a backrub from his wife. I took it.
Not my team involved reporting what happened in my league. Parker was on the bench this week (team has Rudi, Julius, & Cadillac) and has a need at WR. While team getting Parker has McGahee, LJ, & D.Foster.That may be the trade with the other team, but it is not the trade in your lineup which is the correct way to analyze the trade.Was Parker starting?

Boldin replaces who?
PS - aren't most of these posts in the wrong thread? Should be in Asst Coach
Combine that with Maddox not getting his job back when he recovered fromhis injury and it seems pretty clear that #2 is the determining factor.what's going to happen to FWP when the Bus and Staley returns is definitely the $20K question. some have said before, and i agree that when the Bus returns he will be the goalline back, so the real question is with Staley.
i just remember last year when Staley went down and the Bus took over. When Staley was healed up, he didn't get his carries back. Cower kept the Bus in and the Bus ran and ran and ran. I remember thinking Staley should go back in b/c the Bus wasn't ALL THAT ... but he didn't. In fact it wasn't until the playoffs when the Bus got hurt that Staley got back in.
this kinda makes me think that
1. Cower loves the Bus to a fault
2. Cower goes with the hot hand
if FWP continues to shine i don't think he will be pulled. and as far as the Bus stealing the TDs ... that's if the Steelers are on the 3, 2 or 1 ... other than that ... we saw FWP has some power and speed.
i've got him in my dynasty and will not trade him. i haven't been offered anything anyway.

Foster, De'shaun CAR RBJohnson, Andre HOU WRHave any of you traded or traded for Willie Parker today, or seen someone else do it, and if so what did Willie Parker go for? Post if you've seen any Willie Parker trades.
If you have good RB's and really aren't going to use FWP, take the sure thing in Ward.I've been offered Hines Ward for Parker (straight up) and my team is pretty weak at WR (Clayton/Coles/Moulds).
I'm also in talks with the TO owner of a package of Parker + Coles for TO + Caldwell. The only problem is that he's saying he wants to wait 1 more week before pulling the trigger on the trade.
If I wait a week, Staley could be ready and Parker's starting role could vaporize. If I cash in now, I get Ward - a solid top 15 WR, but miss out on potentially getting TO. I guess these are the decisions that make or break a fantasy owner.
So you're going to wait and see if KJ and FWP suck and then trade them for Alexander?A guy in my league only has Alexander, Staley, and Shipp as RB's. I'm thinking of offering him K Jones & Parker for S. Alexander AFTER this weekends games. I want to see how Jones performs. I also have Dillon, LJ, & Chester Taylor as RBs so I can still start a 3rd RB as my flex position as long as LJ stays out of jail. Does this look like a fair trade on my part? I'm thinking if I offer it he jumps on it since hes low at RB and a Lions homer.
