No surprise here, huh? It's only one game but I can see the fantasy masses cringing after passing on Parker due to his low 2007 TD productivity. :x

Actually, I've been surprised by the number of people who still took him high this year. I would've bet $100 he would have an off year stats-wise because of shared time w/ Mendenhall. But, I've talked to tons of FF players who thought otherwise. I was even going to buy a Mendenhall jersey. Thank God the shipping got screwed up, I cancelled that order for a Parker on Monday :)

Nice!

Godfather, I am right there with you on the stats analysis from a FF standpoint. I think Mendy's share will slowly increase over the year though. I also thought that the WR/TE power of the team would lead to increased TD production from Benji's arm. In total, I still don't value Parker as a top notch FF starter but I'd love him to prove me wrong! :subngtowl:

I would not bank on the running game or passing game having huge stats this season.
If we opened against dallas we could have easilly thrown 35-40 times if dallas was scoring alot, which in turn would have had the media saying the stillers have shifted to a throw the ball on every down offense.
when all is said and done this season I think there will be an even amonut of games where we see the ball in the air 35 times and an equall amount of games where we see 15-20 passing attempts.

Saw on ESPN yesterday that FWP won the AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. Congrats to Fast Willie on a job very well done. He most definitely deserves it.
