The last time Shanahan had a legit RB, he gave him carries. Clinton Portis I want to say. The guys the last few years have been shitty, no stand outs

Fast forward to today. Morris 61 carries (4th in NFL), Royster 5, Helu 2.


He had 28 carries in W1 and 33 combined in W2 and W3.

This would be me my only worry with Morris.

The other guys Shanahan had (other than TD early) had physical breakdowns during the years they were running. Plus, Morris came from FAU where the level of opponents are weak in comparison to the rest of CFB. I could see Shanahan splitting some carries with the other RBs as the season progresses to try and keep him healthy.

That means what, exactly?

He's obviously not going to get the same amount of carries every week.

He's gotten 90% between the running backs. The only guy who's going to steal his carries isnt even a RB.

Well, they were playing from behind in week 2 and 3, no?

Not much in W2 to abandon the run.

It was 24-24 before a couple of late scores by Cincy in the 4th last week.

ETA: And my biggest concern would be 61 carries and only 1 target in the passing game through 3 games. If they continue to play in shootouts, or get behind significantly, he loses value.

33 combined in 2 weeks?

So 17 a week? I'll take that in today's NFL

Besides Helu was their 3rd down back. He's gone. Morris may see more time in passing situations, or as he becomes more comfortable in pass pro

I can put someone in a McGahee or Ryan Williams..will package with Maclin for a RB or WR upgrade.

A RB2 and WR2 can't equal an upgrade?

What RB1 or WR1 would be a fair swap for those players?

I hope someone wouldn't try and give you the league just to improve their chances at cracking the top 6.
