Alfred Morris scores twice for Washington, fantasy owners
The running back had a big day Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Morris ran the ball 22 times Sunday for 85 yards in the game. He scored on a pair of 1-yard rushes in the second quarter, taking the game from 7-0 to 21-0.
Fantasy impact: Morris has offered consistent yardage in the two games so far this season. He ran for 91 yards in Week 1 before putting up 85 in Week 2. It came on many more carries Sunday, though, as the third-year back’s yards-per-carry average fell from 6.5 in Week 1 to 3.9 in Week 2.
Regardless, and despite his complete absence from the team's passing game, Morris is an obvious must-start in fantasy, and he's a low-end RB1 at worst. The team's other running backs — Silas Redd, who scored a garbage-time touchdown Sunday, and Roy Helu Jr., plus fullback Darrel Young — get a handful of touches each week, but none of the three is fantasy-relevant.
