Willie Parker Disappoints
Posted: September 11, 2009
“Our runner” disappoints in season opener.
After Mike Tomlin gave Willie Parker a vote of confidence going into the season, Parker managed a dismal line: 13 carries, 19 yards, 1 reception 5 yards. Not at all what most people expected, and a far cry from my prediction earlier in the week.
What does this prove on the fantasy side of the ball? 1) Parker’s injuries and age are catching up with him, 2) Rashard Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore — neither of whom were impressive Thursday — will see significant touches, and 3) The Tennessee defense is still one of the top run stuffing units in football, despite the loss of All-Pro tackle Albert Haynesworth.

Welcome to the Shack!
Fantasy Sports Shack is a place for stats, opinions, information and links to the important stuff that will help you win a fantasy title, with a focus on football and baseball.
We want to know what a player has done for the last few years, their trends and projections for this year. We want to know sleepers who are going to make a difference, rookies who will shine and veterans who will bounce back. We want to know about the impact of the latest injuries, retirements and… well, legal issues. We want to know it before the next guy (or girl – the Shack doesn’t discriminate!), and we want to share it with you!
We’re just a group of fans who love fantasy sports. Some of us are new to the game, others have been playing for more than 15 years, on a number of platforms, with a variety of people. And not to boast, but we do okay. We’ve got the 4-time king (including a 3-peat) of an uber-competitive baseball league, a 2-time defending fantasy football champion and a top 3 fantasy football finisher for 6 years running. Just want to let you know we’re not yanking your chain when we offer our opinion. And that’s what we’re here to do, give you our opinion.
Opinion is what the Fantasy Sports Shack is all about. We’ll give you ours, so don’t be afraid to give us yours.
