Healthy RG3 and WR weapons = major holes to run through

gruden runs a wide open down the field offense though

Edit: Helu is more suited for that offense

All he needs is 15 carries a game to have a shot at 1200+ Rush yards. TDs will be there since he is a bruising goal line back

Definitely not a top RB, but a high end RB2

Yardage wise and average ypc he is a beast, one of the best in the league.

I had him last year and the amount of times he got taken out at the goal line and Helu scored was ridiculous.

Hopefully he gets better rewarded this year.

Earlier in the spring, it was reported he was working out with RG3 and other WRs. Seemed that he and the team wanted him more involved. However, more recently, Gruden was quoted as saying that Morris does not have natural hands, but they still want him to catch passes, and think he might catch 20-25 balls this season.

That sounds to me like he's been working on catching, but just isn't that good at it.

They are also moving away from the zone scheme he's been used to.

All of that makes me think that, in a ppr league, I might grab him if he happened to be there in maybe the 6th round. Which he likely won't be.

I am no professional athlete...


But how is it fricking possible that you can make it as a running back in the NFL and can't somehow be able to catch a simple pass?

ehh he may not be fluid in the way he catches. Any athlete is able to catch the ball with pitch and catch, but running routes adjusting to the ball is a process. That maybe where he struggles, it just doesn't come naturally to him.

Yap

Morris is a 1 cut back. He's not meant for Gruden's scheme at all.

Helu will outscore him by a lot IMO
