#28 Maurice Morris   Pos: Running Back NFL Team: DET Injury: OK Experience: 10 College: Oregon Height: 71 Weight: 216 Born: 12/1/1979  Year   Tm   Gm   Rush   Yds   TDs   Fum   Catch   Yds   TDs   Tgt  2010 DET 15 90 336 5 0 25 170 0 31 2009 DET 16 93 384 2 0 26 210 0 38 2008 SEA 13 132 574 0 1 19 136 2 - 2007 SEA 14 140 628 4 1 23 213 1 - 2006 SEA 16 161 604 0 1 11 46 0 - SUMMARY Running Back Rank: #94    Overall: #426 Morris found his way in the starting lineup late last season because of injury and performed fairly well in that role. He had double-digit carries six of the last seven games and scored five touchdowns during that stretch. Morris also had a 100-yard game and caught 18 passes in those seven games. Morris proved he can still help as a backup in the NFL. He has starting experience and can produce when called upon. Morris is 31 years old, though, so he doesn't have much time left in the NFL. Morris has averaged more than four yards per carry in all but two NFL seasons. He ran for 600-plus yards just twice in eight seasons, though. Morris is best served in spot duty. He still has good speed and plus moves in the open field. He isn't a very big back, which is a reason why he hasn't started much during his career. FANTASY OUTLOOK Morris has been pretty consistent through the years. He'll get you about 400 total yards and around 15 receptions. He is an OK No. 4 or 5 back for fantasy teams. Don't reach for Morris too soon. His upside is limited compared to younger backs. 2011-12-11 15:43:12 Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions RB Maurice Morris (chest) returned to the game after missing some time with a chest injury. Source: KFFL.com 2011-12-11 15:13:10 Detroit Lions RB Maurice Morris (chest) suffered a chest injury in Week 14 and is considered questionable to return. Source: KFFL.com 2011-12-05 01:13:11 Detroit Lions RB Maurice Morris had 12 carries for 28 yards in Week 13 against the New Orleans Saints, and he added five receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown. Morris saw an increased workload with RB Kevin Smith (ankle) departing early. Fantasy Impact: Morris got more work with Kevin Smith getting hurt. He hasn't done to bad in a starting role but isn't anything more than a flex play. Source: KFFL.com 2011-11-30 08:33:12 Detroit Lions RB Maurice Morris could start in the team's Week 13 game if RB Kevin Smith (ankle) can't go. Fantasy Impact: At this point, we don't expect Smith to be able to play. Morris should get the start. Source: KFFL.com 2011-11-24 16:53:09 Detroit Lions RB Maurice Morris rushed for 39 yards on seven carries against the Green Bay Packers in Week 12. He also caught nine passes for 81 yards in the game. Fantasy Impact: Kevin Smith was hurt, so Morris could get more work going forward. He has done pretty well with this chances.

Morris also added a 6-yard reception. Fantasy Impact: Morris didn't get a whole lot of chances but did alright with his 11 touches. Source: KFFL.com 2011-10-30 20:03:13 Detroit Lions RB Maurice Morris carried 13 times for 58 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos. He also added a seven-yard reception, getting a team-high 14 touches in the absence of RB Jahvid Best (concussion). Fantasy Impact: Morris did well with his chances. He has total yardage potential in this offense as long as he is starting. Source: KFFL.com
