WAS RB Alfred Morris - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
If you’re looking for the ultimate RB2 for your fantasy team, Alfred Morris might be the guy. Throughout his career he’s been pretty consistent, even through the tough times when the Washington offense struggled. He’s gone over 1,000 yards in each of his three seasons and recorded 13-7-8 TDs over that same span. Bill Callahan’s arrival should keep Morris as a consistent fantasy RB, and we’ve had news reports that the team wants to run the ball more to set up the pass, keeping the pressure off QB Robert Griffin III.

Fantasy Downside
The biggest downside to Morris is his lack of use in the passing game. That’s been holding him back from the status of RB1, and that probably won’t change this year even with Roy Helu out of the picture. Matt Jones looks to be the team’s third down back heading into the season.

Bottom Line
Of all the RB2 backs rated between 13th and 24th, we project Morris to gain the most yards of anyone in that group (1,163). We know he’s not going to contribute a whole lot in the passing game, but being available late in the third round of 12-team leagues, you can do a lot worse than Morris as your second RB. In fact, even going WR-WR or WR-TE with your first two picks, Morris should give you some stability at the RB position to help balance your lineup.

WAS RB Alfred Morris - Week 17, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 - Morris vs. Dallas

Alfred Morris had his best fantasy game since Week 12, running for 83 yards and a TD last week against the Eagles. It was Morris' eighth TD of the season. It was a decent enough matchup against the Eagles, but Morris had struggled the previous three contest, not getting more than 67 yards and also not scoring a TD so there was a little risk in playing him.

This week, Morris gets a nice matchup on paper against Dallas. While the 'Boys say they will play their starters Week 17, you have to imagine at some point Morris may see some time against backups. Morris should give you solid numbers in Week 17.

WAS RB Alfred Morris - Week 16, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 - Morris vs. Philly
Alfred Morris ran 14 times for 49 yards last week and for the first time since Week 7, didn't catch a pass. Morris is again an RB2 option this week, but it's only an average matchup. The Eagles D has been pretty decent at stopping the run, coming in ranked 16th in allowing fantasy points to RBs, and have held DeMarco Murray to under 100 yards twice this year. Morris put up a 23-77 line back in Week 3 against the Eagles.

WAS RB Alfred Morris - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 - Morris vs. NY Giants

Alfred Morris had just eight carries for six yards but added a catch for 11 yards. It was a season low for Morris in attempts and yards, but we knew it was a tough matchup coming in as the Rams were fourth in allowing fantasy points to RBs.

Morris should bounce back this week as the Giants are 27th in allowing fantasy points to RBs. While the QB situation is kind of up in the air, the Skins should be able to ride Morris no matter who is under center. Also keep in mind, Morris was playing pretty well coming into last week's game. Back in Week 4, Morris had a 12-63-1 line against the G-men in what was actually a blowout loss for Washington on a Thursday night. We rank Morris as an RB2 but there's at least some upside here.

WAS RB Alfred Morris - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 - Morris vs. St. Louis

Alfred Morris saw his four-game mini-streak of productive fantasy weeks come to an end last week. He carried 17 times for 67 yards and added three catches for 16 yards. Prior to that, he had four TDs over four games and was averaging about 95 yards on the ground in that same four-game span.

This week's matchup is a tough one, but pretty much the final difficult matchup, on paper at least, for the rest of the regular season. The Rams rank seventh in allowing fantasy points to RBs and are coming off a shutout of the Raiders at home in Week 13. Morris is still ranked as an RB2 and being at home should help his cause a little. Morris finishes the season with the Giants (27th), Eagles (24th) and Cowboys (21st).

WAS RB Alfred Morris - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 - Morris vs. Indy

Alfred Morris had his best fantasy game last week in a tough matchup against the 49ers. Morris ran for 125 yards and a TD against the top ranked team in allowing fantasy points to RBs. It was shades of the Alfred Morris we knew from last year when matchups didn't matter a whole lot and he put up consistent numbers just about every week.

This week, Morris gets Indy which on paper is a much easier matchup. Still, the Skins defense is going to have to keep this game close against Andrew Luck and company. With Colt McCoy back under center, Washington will likely try to establish the run with Morris, but it will really come down to whether the defense keeps it close. Morris is still a solid RB2 play.

WAS RB Alfred Morris - Week 12, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 - Morris vs. San Francisco

Alfred Morris had a pretty good game for fantasy owners last week, all things considered. He finished with 20 carries for 96 yards and added two receptions for 36 yards. He's cracked the 90-yard mark back-to-back games for the first time this season.

Unfortunately, Morris and owners get a very tough matchup Week 12 on the road in San Francisco. The Niners defense ranks first in allowing fantasy points to RBs, so Morris falls down our rankings into the lower-end RB2 range this week. He's probably still a guy to put in your lineup based on workload, but it could be a long day for the Washington offense.
