Alfred Morris...Really?!

I'm not worried at all about Morris over the last 2 weeks. The problem is the Skins were losing and needed to pass the ball and Morris is not used as a receiving back. However, if you look at his stats from both games he had 13 carries in both and averaged over 4.5 yards per carry in each and an almost 6 yards per carry against the Panthers. If he Skins can stay close in games or lead, Morris is golden, especially closing the game down in the 4th quarter. However, in PPR leagues, which many now are, if Morris doesn't score, his stat line leaves his owners feeling cheated as he's not going to catch anything (he has 9 targets on the year for just 5 receptions) and even rushing for 100 yards will only get 10 pts (more in bonus leagues). Morris hasn't scored over the last 3 weeks which is making his owners feel uneasy.

 

Now we just have to hope that, because the Skins aren't really in playoff contention, that Scally-wag doesn't go in a different direction at RB or start sharing the load more. Any carries that are taken from Morris and given to another RB, especially if they're at the GL, would be devastating towards his fantasy value because he's not active in the passing game.

Find me a running back that doesn't have a few bad weeks. There are only a few (Foster, Rice, Peterson) that don't really have down weeks - and even they can put up a stinker once in awhile. Morris is still seeing a decent amount of carries, and he's on pace for 1400+ yards rushing and about 9 TDs

He'll still probably score more than the my other guys.

 

 

Agreed. He'll probably still score more than the my some of the other guys.
