so please HELP!!!

Answer 1

Willie Parker is the only questionable one on your list.

The Steelers drafted Rashard Mendenhall and expect him to take some portion of the load off of Parker.

Parker is expected to be healed fully and back to normal from the broken leg that ended his season.

I never burn a keeper on a TE, even one as gifted as Gates.  San Diego under Norv Turner has gone away from him, and seem to favor Jackson and Chambers.

Maroney is a possibility.  He has shown flashes, and if healthy could be a force.  Trouble is, do you want three Patriots?  Tough on the bye week, and it puts all your eggs in one basket.

Hopefully you won't have to make this decision until the preseason is well underway, but I would lean Maroney.  Parker isn't a very good goalline back, and he'll lose carries.

Answer 2

im hearing the steelers are planning to use their rookie runningback mendenhal in goal line situatons so replace willie parker with the best tight end in the game antonio gates

Answer 3

I agree with Brady, Moss, and Edwards....Parker not bad not great, as for Maroney he is in a pass 1st O. thats not good for a Keeper back, and for Gates 1 of maybe 2 TE that a Keeper manager should think about keeping the other being witten, but if you dont have 1 of those 2 te NEVER keep a TE
