FWP To Lose Carries In 2008?

As if a broken fibula wasn’t enough, the Steelers are now saying that 27 year old running back Willie Parker may lose a significant amout of carries in 2008. New free agent signee Mewelde Moore will see a lot of time on third downs and other passing downs, while Najeh Davenport will come in to pass protect and take away more short yardage opportunities. PPR league owners should be a bit concerned.

Don’t forget, FWP only scored two TDs last season. If that production - or lack of production - continues, he’s more like a fantasy RB3 in 2008 than the fantasy RB1 he was in 2006.
