In general I would say put in Brown and Parker and just leave them in... Dillon hasn't been as good since he left Cincinnati and the Pats offense in not centered around him.... His match-up this week does make him playable though...as stated above... the Bills Suck. If you decide to play Dillon I would go with Parker, Big Ben is out this week, so he should get a lot of touches where as the dolphins are going to have Culpepper throwing to Chambers more.

Start Willie Parkere because he's going to get some chances at goalline carries against Miami's soft defense. Then I would start Ronnie Brown over Corey Dillon, though that is difficult, because Buffalo is awful. Dillon though might lose carries to Laurence Maroney.
I see Parker scoring around 15-20 points, and Ronnie Brown getting 12-15 points. Dillon could score higher than that, but you don't know how he'll be used his first week.

Sit Parker. Ronnie Brown should start every week and while Parker will probably score more points this year, Dillon is a near lock to get into the end zone against the hapless Bills team this week.

I'd go with Dillon and Parker.
Dillon is an excellent goalline runner, and with Maroney injured, he won't be sharing touches. Also (and importantly), Buffalo sucks.
It's a tougher call between Parker and Brown. I'd side with Parker because the Steelers are really tough to run against. The biggest issue with Parker is that there are questions on whether he can last a full season, but for week 1, you really don't care about that.

Parker and Dillon. Pittsburgh has too good of a rush defense. The other 2 will produce more TD's and yards than Ronnie Brown vs. Pitt. Remember, Pitt defense practices against a rush offense.

Dillon and Parker.
None of your choices are great matchups. Parker is now expected to get goal line carries, and he will get the rock a lot with Batch filling in for Big Ben.
Dillon has a nose for the end zone. He's the main man until Maroney gets healthy. He might not get a lot of yards, but should punch at least one TD in.
Brown is just unproven. Against the Pittsburgh "D" I think he'll struggle more than your other choices.
You'll be okay with any of these, no worries...

Ronnie Brown and Willie Parker. Dillon is soon to be replaced by Maroney. Brown and Parker will not share time.

willie ought to do well against the miami D which is good but not great. corey dillon played well the last time the pats palyed the bills and it looks like maroney wont be playing this week so he wont be taking carries. ronnie should do good all season since he will be getting the bulk of the carries but the steelers D is quality so he might not do a lot this week. i would start willie parker and probably dillon but ronnie could surprise.

I would also say Parker and Dillon, just because Buffalo's D is awful, and Pittsburgh's Rush D is fantastic
