The Facts:
Dillon says there's room for both him and rookie first-round pick Laurence Maroney in the New England Patriots' backfield. "There's no competition," Dillon said of what is expected to be a battle for the team's starting running back job. "We're here to help the team win, period. I don't care who's in there, me or him."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Even if he isn't the starter, Maroney is expected to ease some of the burden on Dillon, who turns 32 in October. Nevertheless, Dillon said it was "realistic" to think he could replicate the career-high 345 carries he had in 2004, when he rushed for a franchise-record 1,635 yards. ... We'd view that as a more realistic possibility if Maroney wasn't there.
