SUXBNME 1,324 Posted October 24, 2005 All i've heard mon. morning for the past 3 weeks is how much FWP sucks.. (at least from a couple moronic posters..i.e. NB81) Where are all the haters now?? I know that yesterdays game doesn't make him the "next comming", but give the man some credit...

mdubz 0 Posted October 24, 2005 i love all of these "where are you haters now" posts today. portis has one good game and everyone is on his nuts. where were you the first 6 weeks? and FWP breaks a 39 yard TD run and now all of the sudden hes back to being a top 5 back. FWP is a nice little fantasy option but he is a borderline #2, good #3 back in 12+ team leagues and a slot guy at best in 10 team 2RBs and 1RB/WR leagues.

Guest Loose Circuits Posted October 24, 2005 All I know is, for RB's FWP is ranked 11th in one league (bonus points for long TD's) and 14th in another. I got pretty good value for a 13-14th round pick while everyone else was picking up mediocre D's and Kickers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FWP is a nice little fantasy option but he is a borderline #2, good #3 back in 12+ team leagues and a slot guy at best in 10 team 2RBs and 1RB/WR leagues. Nobody ever claimed he was a top 5 back. You have to admit, whoever acquired him via draft/waiver wire got good value. I would never have traded for him, unless I wasn't giving up much... Which most people wouldn't offer much for him anyways. What do you think we are using him for? I have him and Droughns as my #3 option in my 10 team flex league (they make a good combo based off match-ups BTW) and I have him as my #2 (w/ C. Brown/M. Shipp) in another league- started out w/ C. Mart. I am not sold on him being the #2 guy there and am constantly trying to add depth. So for you to say, I hate these posts...blah...blah...people claiming he is a top 5 back. No one is doing that. We (FWP owners) are all realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdubz 0 Posted October 24, 2005 all im saying is people are way too influenced week to week. many people on this board were saying FWP so going to be top 10 all year. then all of the sudden he had acouple tough games and bettis is the goalline back and people were talking about dropping him. and now this thread comes where you guys are all over him again because of a long TD run. i was just stating what he is a borderline #2 good #3 back. this will not change b/c he has a great week or a terrible week. thats just what he will be all year. and by the way Loose Circuits , i am a FWP owner and i think i am pretty realistic.

I just think all the bashing was unfounded because he had a few bad games. Those same people were saying Staley was going to take back his job, etc...etc... Every RB in the league has bad games. I never said he was going to be top 10. I don't rank players that way because you never know what's going to happen, but I wasn't about to drop him. I still think he will continue to have some good games and some bad games. When playing against bad rushing teams and bad teams altogether he will be the man because they want to save Bettis. I like what the Steelers are doing with the rotation and actually choose to keep him over Caddy in 2 different leagues because I had a feeling Caddy would break down... I think you are being realistic and we pretty much agree. I ignored most of the threads hyping him, so maybe I didn't see the same amount of hype you did....

hadji 0 Posted October 24, 2005 all im saying is people are way too influenced week to week. many people on this board were saying FWP so going to be top 10 all year. Technically, wouldn't 9th in rushing yards be in the top 10? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdubz 0 Posted October 24, 2005 yes hes 9th in rushing yards but hes 14th (RB) in fantasy points and most of that was in the first couple games without bettis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vols 0 Posted October 24, 2005 I could see him staying around the #10 spot for rushing yardage. With Pitt, you know he'll get the touches every week and will be playing from the lead a lot. I've got FWP and he competes for my #3 RB slot with Ronnie Brown (SA and Tiki start). Anyone who has him slotted as a #1 or #2 must be decimated by injuries.

kiwimango 0 Posted October 24, 2005 Why all the talk about his 37 yard run? Without that carry he had 17 carries for 94 yards. My calulator shows that to be a 5.5 YPC. There isnt one team in the NFL that wouldnt sign up to have their RB getting 5.5 YPC. He had 3 tough games against 3 tough defenses and I dont care what the numbers show. He is a solid #2 and win will more games for you than he will lose! I guess the thing that shocks me is that the team with the most run heavy offense (That doesnt include a QB wearing #7) and a schedule that is not too strong on RUN Defenses: Baltimore, GB, Cleveland, Baltimore, INDY, Cin, Chi, Minn, Cleveland & DET Why is everyone bashing FWP. If you can get him, get him and just dont tell anyone, we will forgive you! He will win a lot more games for people this year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Busted by the Feds 9 Posted October 24, 2005 FWP haters, where are you now? They're bookmarking this thread for the next time FWP has a 30 yd. 0 TD day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captian America 0 Posted October 24, 2005 Parker has had 3 games out of 6 for rushing for over 100 yards and is ranked 9th over all in yardage and he had a bye week with a couple of guys ahead of him not having their bye week yet so there's a good chance he could move up a couple more slots. He has a total of 539 yards with only 461 yards to go in 10 games to be a 1,000 yard rusher which is the measuring tool of a good running back or receiver in the NFL. I went through this same thing with these people who went out and drafted Benson and where saying Thomas Jones will be benched you don't here from them anymore. People have got to realize that it's not what the owners pay the players it's the coach, his job is on the line if he doesn't win and he will play the best players if he wants his job.

NewbieJr 540 Posted October 24, 2005 FWP is definitely not an every week starter, but he's been a great fantasy pick. His inconsistency is a little bothersome, as is Cowher's tendency to juggle the workload of his backs, but, at times, he looks like the real deal. Hell, other than the stud backs (LT, SA, Edge, Priest) who HAS been consistant this year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell, other than the stud backs (LT, SA, Edge, Priest) who HAS been consistant this year? Last I looked LT and Alexander didn't exactly blow up the scoreboard this week. Nobody is consistent, everyone has bad weeks. Parker is going to tear up lesser competition though, and there is a lot of that left on his schedule. When the match-up is right, I would start him over a number of backs. Now that's a tough call this weekend v. Baltimore, especially if Ray Lewis is out. The Pitt D will shut down Baltimore and there will be plenty of carries to go around.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
