Robert Griffin III ran all over Minnesota's defense, so Morris rushing for only 2.9 yards per carry didn't hold back the Redskins on the ground. His backup, Evan Royster, only saw one carry.
Fantasy Impact: This was a tougher test for Morris, as the Vikings entered Sunday ranked sixth in the league in rush defense. Morris found some running room at times, but he was kept in check for the most part.
He'll take on the Giants' defense next Sunday. New York is a bit more susceptible to bigger yardage from opposing backs. Continue starting Morris each week.
