After suffering a minor knee injury in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, running back Alfred Morris was still able to return to action and rush for 77 yards on 23 carries. He did miss some practice time heading into Thursday's matchup against the New York Giants, but he'll be in the starting lineup.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 4: Alfred Morris
Alfred Morris had a knee injury cost him some carries in Week 3. Will he be able to get it turned around against the Giants?

Morris had a huge game in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars with 85 rushing yards and two scores in an easy win. On the down side, he doesn't have any catches and he's only been a two-down back in coach Jay Gruden's system.
The Giants rank in the middle of most rushing defense stats, but they haven’t faced many strong opponents on offense. Morris will get the home crowd behind him and should have no problem getting his 20 touches.
If you’re in a PPR league, he’s more of a low-end RB2 while he’s a must-start option in standard formats. If Morris’ knee acts up again, Roy Helu would be in for a bigger role.
