    I'm in a keeper league and can only keep 2 of these running backs. I'm a bit concerned about fast willie parker dropping off in production with a new coaching staff.

    Reggie Bush
    Rudi Johnson
    Willie Parker

    Go with Johnson, a tough choice but Bush is very young and has great catching ability and Parker will be the focal point of a rush heavy offense

    Actually, from what I've been hearing/reading, the Steelers will be converting to a much more heavy passing offense, utilizing a bunch of 4-wide sets.

    I'd definately keep Bush, obviously because of his youth, versatility, and high scoring offense.

    Rudi Johnson has basically been Mr. Consistency the past four years:
    2004 - 1454yds, 12TDs, 15 catches
    2005 - 1458yds, 12TDs, 23 catches
    2006 - 1309yds, 12TDs, 23 catches

    It really doesn't get much more consistent than that

    Parker had 1494 yds, 13TDs, and 31 catches last year, but I'm expecting those numbers to go down quite a bit.

    I'd much rather have the sure thing than a guy whose done it one year

    This was almost exactly my thought process. I'm very surprised at the number of Rudi Johnson votes because as you say - he's be very consistent. In fact he was the one I was almost certainly keeping but I figured I'd throw him in just to "keep it real".

    Gotta go with Rudi. He fell off big time last year. It looks like his time in the fantasy spotlight is fading. Fast Willie and Reggie Bush are both just coming into their own.

    Can you explain to me how he "fell off big time"?????

    Because he had the same TD total as the previous two years and dropped an average of about 9 yards per game?

    That's not exactly a big drop off...

    He was solid, as always, for the first half of the season. Then he basically fell off the map.

    If you're worried about the amount of carries Larry Johnson had last year and think that it will hurt his production this year then you should be worried about Rudi who has the most carries over the last 3 seasons.
