Parker has good offseason: The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports Steelers RB Willie Parker is having a good offseason and feels ready for this year. "I'm getting that speed back like I had two or three years ago," Parker said. "I'm faster than I've been." The Steelers are counting on a healthy Parker — he missed fives games in 2008 with knee and shoulder problems — to bolster a running attack that ranked 23rd in the NFL last season with just under 106 yards per game. And after averaging a career-low 3.8 yards per carry Parker is returning to his roots in that he is carrying himself as the player who broke into the NFL as an undrafted free agent — not the player who has made a pair of Pro Bowls and nearly won a rushing title in 2007. "That's my mindset, man, just going back to my first year and doing the things I used to do," Parker said.

Fantasy Analysis

Parker wants to prove is that he is not entering the downside of his career, which can often be the case with 28-year-old running backs who have absorbed a lot of hits as Parker has. In that sense, it is a critical time for Parker and not just because he is entering the final year of his contract. Rashard Mendenhall, the Steelers' first-round draft pick in 2008, has fully recovered from a shoulder injury that prematurely ended his rookie season. There is little doubt that Mendenhall will push Parker if he stays healthy, something the latter said he welcomes. "I love to compete," Parker said, "and Rashard's getting it out of me." We still like Parker as a No. 3 Fantasy RB, and he's worth a mid-round pick. Hopefully he can stay healthy and hold off Mendenhall enough to be successful this year.

RB Willie Parker has adopted a different training routine. "I have been doing a lot of Pilates, stretching and things of that nature to get my body back," said Parker, who missed five full games and large parts of two others with knee and shoulder injuries in 2008. "I am feeling good. I am headed towards the right direction." 62/5/2009

Fantasy Analysis

July 2, 2009: All Over/Under Team: D'Q, Henderson at opposite ends

Browns LB D'Qwell Jackson gets big a shout-out; Jags DT John Henderson gets a big call-out. For better and worse, Pete Prisco goes team to team nailing a most overrated and underrated player for each.

June 30, 2009: Steelers RB: Willie Parker

In 11 regular-season games, Parker had 210 carries for 791 yards with five touchdowns. Parker will now be stuck with the injury-prone label after two years of coming up with tough injuries.
