![]() ![]() Projection: 101 carries, 445 yards, 4 TDs 15 catches, 164 yards, 0 TDsĪt the point in the draft where Morris becomes an option, the difference between taking him and the hundred other names becomes relatively small.īut here's a few names I'd easily take Morris over in most draft formats: James Starks, Mike Goodson, Isaiah Pead, Jahvid Best, Evan Royster and Alex Green. It's a bland, generic projection, but guessing this backfield is a fool's errand anyway. Probably not to make Morris anything more than a full-season backup, however. He's going to be a spot starter during some weeks and matchups, and unplayable others, whether it's because he fell out of favor or the matchup isn't right.īut overall, there will be some production to live off of. Given the uncertainty of touches and playing time, projecting a season's worth of stats for Morris almost isn't worth the attempt.īut here's my best guess: Morris will play well some weeks, struggle mightily during others. That certainly doesn't give much help from a fantasy perspective, but it is the reality of the Washington backfield in 2012. The rest will bottom-feed off whatever is left of the carries and touches. Whichever back is playing the best during a given week or stretch of weeks will play. The Redskins backfield in 2012 will likely be a fluid, week-by-week situation. Who really knows who will play and who won't? This really is the unanswerable question when talking about a Shanahan backfield. ![]() Still, expect a defined role for Morris in the opener. Roy Helu and Evan Royster played well in the preseason finale with Morris out, so this situation remains fluid. Morris was a healthy scratch during Washington's final preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a decision from Shanahan that may signal a big role set aside for him in the Redskins' season opener in New Orleans.Ī week earlier, Shanahan said that Morris was definitely in the running to be the team's starting running back to open up 2012, according to Chris Russell of ESPN 980 in Washington, D.C.
