September 22, 2008 Sammy Morris started in place of the injured Laurence Maroney (shoulder), and was ineffective in Sunday's loss to Miami as he only mustered 27 rushing yards on nine carries, according to the Boston Globe. LaMont Jordan was dealing with a foot injury, but managed to handle six carries for 22 yards. Our View:Morris struggled as a starter, but it was only one game, and he should continue to hold fantasy value as a goal-line threat. He has scored two touchdowns over the first three games of the season. |

September 10, 2008 Patriots running back Sammy Morris was impressive in Week 1, running for 53 yards and a touchdown, and his tough inside running means he may see more goal-line carries, according to Sporting News Today. Our View:If this news holds true, it not only increases Morris' fantasy value, but Laurence Maroney's will take a dip. Fantasy owners who have Maroney on their squad would do well to ensure that they have Morris as well. |

May 26, 2008 Sammy Morris is going to be used as a bruising chance-of-pace rusher while he serves as Laurence Maroney's backup this season, according to the Boston Herald. Our View:Morris could steal some goal-line touches away from Maroney and should hold some fantasy value this season. He scored three touchdowns in 2007 and topped 100 rushing yards twice over his six games before getting hurt. Speaking of that, he is believed to be fully recovered from his sternum clavicle separation injury. |

The running back feels he’ll be ready to go today when passing camp starts in Foxboro. |
