The next few report sregarding Willie Parker's broken leg will be key. Broken fibulas can vary widely in recovery time. For some players, it's a simple break and they are fine in six-to-eight weeks. Considering Parker's huge workload this year, getting 80 fewer carries this season might not be the worst thing in the world for him long term.

Some breaks, especially if they include the ankle, are much trickier. As a Parker owner in a dynasty league that was planning to build my offseason by dealing him when his value was still high, I am hoping for the best.

I don't think the Steelers should be overly concerned about the injury. With poor passing game skills and a 4.1 average on the ground, Parker is pretty easy to replace. We've seen all season that running backs are the most easily replaceable position in football. Pittsburgh's sagging defense looks a lot more vulnerable.
