With Duce Staley (hamstring) able to practice both Wednesday and Thursday, it appears likely that he will get the start against the Redskins in Week 12. Assuming that happens, Jerome Bettis (knee) will return to his No. 2 role. Avoiding any controversy, Bettis said, "This is Duce's job".

FANTASY ANALYSIS
Bettis has rushed for over 100 yards in each game the last three weeks but it appears coach Bill Cowher will give Staley his job back. This hurts the value of Bettis and now he should only be used as a No. 3 option.
