Mendenhall ready to push Parker: The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall is prepared to push starter Willie Parker for carries this year. Mendenhall, the Steelers' first-round draft pick in 2008, has fully recovered from a shoulder injury that prematurely ended his rookie season. The Steelers are hoping Mendenhall can make the kind of jump that 2007 first-round pick Lawrence Timmons did in his second season. Coach Mike Tomlin is noncommittal, however, when asked how Mendenhall will factor into the running game this season. "I'm just simply asking him to have the savvy and awareness of a second-year player," Tomlin said. "How he plays will determine his role." 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."

Fantasy Analysis

We like Mendenhall to take some carries away from Parker this year, and Mendenhall comes into the season as a low-end No. 3 Fantasy RB. He's worth a late-round pick in all leagues, and don't be surprised if Mendenhall has some outstanding games playing in tandem with Parker.

RB Rashard Mendenhall, a first-round pick in 2008, is in many ways a rookie all over again. He'll be the primary backup to starter Willie Parker. "Rashard, I am simply asking him to have the savvy and the awareness of a second-year player, even though his rookie year was cut short due to injury," coach Mike Tomlin said. "He has been around here, around his teammates and he knows what this culture is. I expect him to display that with his actions as we push forward. How he plays is how he plays, and that will determine his role." 61/8/2009

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: Rashard Mendenhall

Rashard Mendenhall is back and ready for 2009 as his shoulder has healed and his legs are more than ready. The complement to Willie Parker should ultimately be in line to take on close to 30 percent of the workload.
