Pros: A consummate veteran, Morris is capable of a little bit of everything. He has averaged at least 4.5 yards per carry each of his seasons with the Patriots, and last year he even chipped in 17 catches in 13 games. Morris scored a career-high seven touchdowns in '08 and should have a reasonable chance at garnering meaningful playing time this season.

Cons: Morris is 32 years old and hasn't played a full season since 2005. He is one of several capable running backs vying for carries in a congested backfield. The Patriots prefer to pass the ball as much as possible, and Morris isn't likely to see much third-down action.

Fantasy tip: Drafting Morris is almost a wasted pick, unless you spend a final choice on him. He's on the wrong side of 30 and isn't likely to see enough touches to warrant a draft selection. On average, he is going in the early 14th round, which we can't endorse.
