Parker

Chiefs other inactives:D. Huard - 3rd QB, CB Benny Sapp, LB Kawika Mitchell, T Brett Williams, T Kevin Sampson, TE Kris Wilson and LB Keyaron Fox.

The receiver position is becoming a major problem for the Chiefs. With Parker out, the team has only Eddie Kennison, Richard Smith, and Dante Hall totally healthy right now. They need Johnny Morton to be ready for week one or make a move.

No big surprised here. Ryan Sims is active. Johnnie Morton and Eddie Kennison start at wide receiver.

Really? With Johnnie Morton likely gone, Parker has major sleeper potential.

The speedster is exactly what Kansas City is missing. Depending on how the Chiefs handle free agency and the draft, Parker could be set up for a huge boost next year.

He finished with two catches for 14 yards. The Chiefs didn’t play their first-team offense for too long.

This follows news that Javon Walker recently underwent another knee surgery, but Parker isn’t going to have fantasy value regardless. Between 2004-07 with the Chiefs, he was one of the worst starting wide receivers in the league. He didn’t play in 2008.

Parker’s career has gone downhill swiftly since he caught 41 balls as a 15-game starter in 2006. He’s reached a new low getting cut by the Raiders.

Like all Chiefs’ starting skill position players, Parker’s value will decrease considerably if Trent Green is lost for any amount of time.

The rookie speed demon will be listed as questionable this week. He’s unlikely to have a major role in the Chiefs offense this season.
