When the Dallas Cowboys signed Alfred Morris this offseason, he looked destined for a career revival after falling out of favor in Washington.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 13: Alfred Morris an easy call vs. Vikings.
Alfred Morris is still nothing more than an Ezekiel Elliott handcuff for fantasy owners.

Then Ezekiel Elliott happened, and Morris has been riding the bench ever since. In what little work the veteran has gotten, he has done very little to help fantasy owners, who probably have him as nothing more than a handcuff for Elliot.
In 11 games, Morris has 60 runs for 220 yards and two scores. Do not expect him to see the field much when his Dallas Cowboys face the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Morris as the 57th-best running back in Week 13. He faces a Minnesota defense allowing the 12th-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season.
There is no question you will be keeping Morris on the bench this week. The only question is if you will continue to keep him as a handcuff for Elliot, or if you will make room for a different player once the fantasy playoffs begin.
