Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The message, according to Post-Gazette staffer Ed Bouchette : Don't assume the job Jerome Bettis left automatically will go to either Verron Haynes or Duce Staley. Parker wants it all. ... We wouldn't get too excited about Parker's goal-line prospects just yet, but will watch his progress; Parker's value would obviously rise if he secures more red-zone work than expected.
