I hope the guy is ok, but I couldn't help but smile when I saw him going to the locker room and heard the announcement of no return

Since Maroney was a GTD I am hoping that he has had time to heal and can carry the rock for the rest of the season. Does anyone else think that Maroney was being held out because Morris and Faulk were available. Now that Morris is out Maroney will be the man in NE?

I am not a doctor and I also didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express, but I wouldn't be surprised if the injury isn't a collar bone

He was laying on his side on the ground when the big OL landed on him and kind of just mashed him into the turf.

Any news on Morris? For some reason, the other thread was locked.

I doubt we'll see Morris until mid November, and there would not be many fantasy weeks left by then. I can't really guess if he's worth holding on to as I don't know what options people have. At this point I'd probably pick up Faulk and drop Morris (or another player that will see some touches).
Looks like you may be quite correct Mr. Yudkin. (Rotoworld) The Boston Herald confirms that Sammy Morris will miss at least this week and possibly a lot longer with a chest injury.Impact: Morris reportedly injured the bone connecting the sternum to the clavicle and left Dallas' stadium in excruciating pain. The good news is Morris didn't break a bone. But it could be a long while until Morris is ready to help fantasy teams again.But this is from Rotoworld... Not th most dependable when it comes to player news and analysis.

Even so, coming back after the bye shows 4 games at home (out of 6), 3 of which are throughout the playoffs. In the chance that Maroney never does get right, or gets injured again, he would be a tough guy to watch produce on someone else's roster. Hell, he may produce regardless in week 15 and 16 when the Patriots are by 21 at half...at Buffalo
Philadelphia
at Baltimore
Pittsburgh
NY Jets
Miami

SLBD, good point on the schedule. Expecting any Patriot player to be productive Week 15 and beyond is a little questionable, but more importantly, Morris might be a player to stash if you're 5-1 or so and looking very likely to make the playoffs. To struggling teams, Morris is a luxury they cannot afford.

After reading Yudkin's comments, I actually had Faulk cued up (dropping Morris) tonight. But after looking at the schedule a little closer, coupled with my record (4 - 2, not desperate), I withdrew it. We'll see how that one pans out...

Here's more....
According to the Boston Herald, Laurence Maroney's (groin) return is not guaranteed for Week 7.
With Sammy Morris (chest) out for up to a month the Patriots could really use Maroney back against the Dolphins this week, but the newspaper reports that they "will take things slow with Maroney." He's likely to be a game-time decision, but that's been the case for each of the three straight games he's missed. If Maroney doesn't suit up, Kevin Faulk will start and likely get nearly a full workload.

Is it safe to say whether Maroney or Faulk are in this weekend....that Heath Evans will be getting some goal line carries??
If Maroney is still out......is it still Faulk PPR league Evans TD league?

I should have more on this as the week progresses, but as I said in one of the opther Pats' injury threads, I'd look elsewhere fantasywise this week. I doubt they will need a Herculian effort from Maroney to beat MIA, so I'm guessing that they may have him play but not a full workload. Given the injury situation, I think they will need to have him available even if they don't use him much. And to clarify this is all MY opinion and is not based on any insider information.

David, what are the chances they sign Barlow in your opinion?
David Yudkin

I doubt they will sign Barlow, and even if they did he'd be buried on the depth chart and a fantasy non-contributor.

Oct 17 John Tomase, of the Boston Herald, reports New England Patriots RB Sammy Morris (chest) is out for Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins. He could miss up to a month. Morris injured the bone that connects the sternum to the clavicle when two players landed on him in the team's Week 6 contest. Preliminary tests didn't reveal any broken bones.

Devil's Advocate:The Pats will likely be 10-1 or so by the time that Morris is "estimated" to return, with such estimate based upon "average" return times of NFL players who have had an "average" injury of this type. Say that that "answer" is that a typical player will miss 4 weeks. Bill B views Morris as an important piece of his championship caliber team, as evidenced by his usage of Morris even when Maroney was healthy. It would seem to me quite logical and consistent with Bill B's prevailing approach to injuries to hold someone Morris out for ~~~ 2 additional weeks or so as a means of assuring a completely healthy asset for the post season, who can still get any needed tune up work during Week 16/17.After reading Yudkin's comments, I actually had Faulk cued up (dropping Morris) tonight. But after looking at the schedule a little closer, coupled with my record (4 - 2, not desperate), I withdrew it. We'll see how that one pans out...
I think Morris is a great buy low right now for those with running back or flex problems. He'll likely be returning after the Patriots bye in Week 10 and should shortly thereafter return to a workload of 10-15 carries per game. The key though is those juicy matchups in weeks 15 and 16 against the Jets and Dolphins.

As I have been mentioning throughout some of these threads, I expect Maroney to be ramped up and getting a decent workload by the fantasy playoffs. Although it may sound odd given his disappointing season to date, Maroney would be the buy low guy I'd be looking to acquire.
just looking at week 7 vs. miami, here are some of my thoughts and questions:brady is on pace to break the TD record. manning said that it was a team effort and everyone rallied around him. i suspect the same for brady and that he will get 3-4 TDs vs. miami.if at the goalline evans my get a one yard plunge, but just as likely we may see a fade to moss or a quick toss to vrabel, evans, TE.faulk seems like an intriguing play IF maroney is OUT. he'll get a lot of touches AND be involved in the passing game. he might break one from 20 yards out.....i don't really have the roster spot because i'd like to hold on to morris and maroney for the stretch run, but i'm seriously considering picking up faulk and inserting him into my lineup if maroney is a late scratch.david- any info you have a LM, get it flowing, plus i'd be interested in your thoughts on faulk should he get the start/majority of the touches. TIA
I don't disagree with you at all. But the price tag on Maroney is likely worlds different than what it would cost to acquire Morris. You may just end up with similar production, especially in cold weather blowouts weeks 15 and 16, with Morris as opposed to Maroney.

Is anybody having any luck trading for Maroney? I've been after him for three weeks thinking that with each missed game his owner will get more frustrated. But no luck. He won't budge. Maybe if he sits out again this week.
But I'm curious as to what people might be using to get Maroney in their leagues. Not trying to hijack, just curious.With regard to Faulk, I think he's a very nice sleeper pick this week regardless. He should be involved in the passing game and even if Maroney returns I'm not sure he gets 20-25 carries. Faulk probably will be involved and Miami's run defense is terrible. I like Faulk as a flex play in PPR leagues this week especially.

I think Faulk will get 10-12 carries and maybe 5 receptions with Watson out, so maybe 75-80 total yards and a 50/50 shot at a TD score this week.Is anybody having any luck trading for Maroney?

I acquired Maroney for Bowe a week ago. The other owner made the offer and he offered for Bowe right off the bat (FWIW, I also had Holt, Driver and Cotchery on my roster).packersfan said:Is anybody having any luck trading for Maroney?
