The Facts:
Parker has nailed down the job as the Steelers' starting halfback, no matter how healthy Jerome Bettis and/or Duce Staley get. "Willie's starting again next week," Bill Cowher said after Parker rattled off his third consecutive 100-yard game rushing. "He's our starter."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Parker, making his second NFL start, rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. He has 272 yards on 47 carries and two touchdowns in two games. Plus, defenses seem so unnerved by him that the Steelers' play-action passing game has never looked better. ... For the record, Staley believes he will be ready to play this week. What role he might play remains unclear.
