Around the NFL: Alfred Morris

Working on the Cowboys writeup over the weekend, I didn't really consider it likely that the Ezekiel Elliott situation would turn ugly. And maybe it hasn't and maybe it won't, but if Elliott fired a shot by vacationing in Mexico, the Cowboys have responded by signing Alfred Morris.   more »

Around the NFL: McKinnon out for season

A couple of weeks ago, with Jerick McKinnon and Matt Breida nursing injuries, Alfred Morris came out of free agency and turned in a strong rushing performance against the Colts: 17 carries, 84 yards. Impressive enough that we thought he'd probably start for his old boss Kyle Shanahan. That looks even more likely tonight, with McKinnon now out for the season.   more »

Factoid: 30-something running backs

It’s been a good preseason for older running backs. Adrian Peterson looks like he’s going to lead Washington rushing. Alfred Morris looks like he’ll have a role in San Francisco. Marshawn Lynch carried the ball only once in the preseason, but it went for a 60-yard touchdown (that was nullified by a penalty). Can any of these guys help fantasy teams?  more »

Around the NFL: 49ers sign Alfred Morris

I am an Alfred Morris fan. He made us look good back in 2012. He was just a sixth-round pick, but he worked his way up the depth chart in August. I remember a home game with the Colts, when they trotted him out with the first-unit offense and he really nailed down the starting job. We jacked him way up on our board, all of our subscribers drafted him, and he delivered big time, running for 1,613 yards and 13 TDs.  more »
