Morris or Gio

[SecondString]

Very important decision to get into the finals. I may be over-thinking this, but here it is. Gio Bernard goes against Pittsburgh, had a good game against them last time, should be close to a lock for 50-60 rushing yards plus whatever he gets in receiving, and may find the end zone.

 

My other choice is Alfred Morris. I know, Atlanta sux vs. the run, and they should run it a lot with Cousins in. But Morris has only scored one TD in the last five games. They keep falling behind, and in the last three games, his carries have gone way down. I'm leaning GIO.

 

Thoughts?

Nobody has any opinion on this whatsoever??? Zero, count 'em, zero replies. Maybe it's a coin flip.

It does seem like a coin flip, and you clearly like Gio - so you should probably just go with what your guts telling you.

 

But to play Devil's advocate for a little bit - Washington's last three games were against the Niners, Giants, and Chiefs. All three of those games were much tougher defensive match-ups than the Falcons will be. Plus Cousins is actually a pretty decent QB - so the Redskins could be better on offense this week.

Good points...just made it a bit tougher. Will probably change my mind five or six more times before kickoff.

 

Thanks for the response.
