ANALYSIS
Morency was brought in last season with the possibility to be the starting running back, but injuries and inconsistent play left him expendable. He'll likely get a look from another team in the league.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2008
2007
2006
2005
Morency was used primarily as a pass catcher and third down back in 2007. He should resume that role in 2008 behind Ryan Grant.
Morency impressed in limited action last year, averaging 4.6 YPC. However, he experienced fumbling problems in the past, and the 91 rushing attempts were actually a career-high, so he has to prove he can hold up as a feature back. There's a chance Morency is given a bigger role in the offense with Ahman Green's departure, but Green Bay also drafted Brandon Jackson in the second round. Jackson is a similar runner to Morency and knows the zone-blocking scheme from college, so he could challenge Morency for the starting job. A timeshare is likely with Jackson having more upside.
Domanick Davis' knee injury, which forced him to the injured reserve list in Sept. 2006, gives Morency and Wali Lundy a chance to share the running back job. Head coach Gary Kubiak will begin the season rotating the two with Lundy the starter. The position is still in flux, so we could still see Morency emerge as the go-to guy. We might even see a red zone specialist emerge. Bottom line, keep an eye on this job as it could change.
In one of the most-watched position battles in training camp, Morency is competing with Tony Hollings to become the backup to Domanick Davis at running back. Texans coach Dom Capers is looking to lighten the load on Davis, so his backup could have some fantasy value.
