The bye week certainly helped Morris last week, and he won’t miss any games. The full week of practice is really all the confidence you’d need to assume he’ll resume a full workload. The second-year back hasn’t had a signature game yet, but his 5.3 yards per carry so far this year suggest a big game is on the way. The Cowboys haven’t been too stout on D, so it could come this week.
If Morris can’t get a full allotment, the team could call upon Roy Helu to get a few extra snaps. He’s been terrific in the passing game and has been much better in pass protection.
Fantasy impact: You can go ahead and put ALF in your lineup. The Skins should be able to cure their ailments on offense in what could be a high-scoring game on Sunday Night Football. Helu is still a nice handcuff, though.
