Willie Parker? (1 Viewer)

[warren663]

What is the FBG consensus, should we FWP owners continue to hold him in hopes that he comes back or is he effectively done for the year?

Just for the record I have Barber and Lynch as my RB starters, but I am wondering if I should stop wasting this roster spot?

I'd try to trade him before I'd dump him, but personally I'd hold him for a while longer.

He'll be starting again at some point. You could certainly get something for him in a trade.

Im gonna dump, I'll be right back

See if you can trade him for Leonard Weaver

Slight hijack:

From the opposite perspective, I need a RB2. Is there any value left for Parker in TD only leagues. I was thinking of going after him with a trade offer of Driver or Royal.

Why are we dumping WParker?

Please, dump? Crazy talk in so much as an outright release, and trade, well, if you must but you wont' get value for him.

Was Mewelde tearing up the world today? Not from what I saw.

i own parker and there is no way i'm dumping parker. i traded for him back in week 3 and have no plans to dump him.

I have owned him since the beginning of the season but if he was not prepared to play in the biggest game for the Steelers up tp this point, why do we think he has any chance of coming back. I will not drop him because I have the roster spot for him. But I could see him being dropped in a league where I need to win and there is someone who is attractive on the WW.

Add that to the fact that Moore has looked good and at best will take 10-15 carries away from FWP per game.

I would love to trade him but no one wants him.

Is it just me or does anyone else believe that Moore is the best fit for the offense. They like to throw a lot, and he certainly fits the bill there, but he also runs damn hard. I'm a big fan of Willie, but I just think, in having seen Moore in there the past few weeks, that he gives them the best chance at winning games. And also opens the field up for others with his pass catching abilities...

 

[Addai's Adidas]

I just have a feeling that Willie's knee is not going to heal. "Bone on Bone" is coming to mind.

 

[SugarNuts]

You guys are mistaking Parker for Davenport. HE is the one that dumps.

To contribute, most of us have help Parker for THIS long, why not another week or 2? If Moore can run the way he has been, whats to say Parker wont be a stud when he comes back? Dont drop him now.

 

[Manster]

by dump, i'm assuming the OP means trade. i dont think anyone is just going to cut him, right?

i've got him and MM in my money lg. i'll hold onto FWP and see how it pans out. the Steelers o-line can run block, but their pass blocking sucks. whichever back gets the carries will be valuable, and MM might see an increased roll even if FWP is 100%

he shouldnt be dumped. that's rediculous. As a Mewelde owner, I am loving this little strectch. He single handedly won me last week's matchup and was a huge part of this week. If I was a Willie owner, this would make me nervous. Even when Willie comes back, Mewelde will get carries. He has earned it. Willie is undoubtedly better, but the coaching staff knows Mewelde can work, and why wouldnt they want to keep Willie fresh??

More importantly - Is Willie playing Week 9? What's his status?
