Against the Giants, Morris carried the ball 22 times for 120 yards. The downside about Morris’ performance was that he coughed up the football and failed to score a touchdown.
Fantasy Analysis: With a terrific offseason for the Redskins, the young running back emerged in his first year with the team as the starter. Morris won the job and has been doing a pretty nice job for Washington’s new-look offense. Mike Shannahan likes to run the ball and Morris carries the load for the team.
Having not been drafted in a number of leagues, Morris has become a pretty nice waiver wire steal. Continue to start Morris as a high-end flex option.
