The 34-year old Fred Taylor is entering his second season with New England, though he is not considered a lock to earn a roster spot. He is 15th on the NFL’s all-time rushing list (11,540 yards), but the Patriots have two other players at his position who are over age 33, and if it comes down to a numbers game — Taylor cannot contribute on special teams — he may be the odd-man out.
Fantasy Impact:
Word from Patriots camp is that Laurence Maroney is the established "lead dog" in the backfield and is doing well.
