I'm going $23 with a $100 budget.

I think anywhere for 1/4-1/3 is good. He obviously could lose his job if he puts up a stinker but they seem committed to him.
Da Man

Yeah we have a $200 budget and I was thinking around $45...
Run It Up
Footballguy
As good as they look, I agree.

I'm putting in $26 of $100 on him.

My gut feeling is telling me that Morris ends as a Top 10 RB this season. I honestly don't think 1100yds and 10+ TDs is out of the question as long as he stays healthy. Shanny loves the guy, that's pretty apparent. He may not be "fast" or "flashy" but he's what Shanahan likes. He runs hard, finishes every run, can pass block and has "seemingly" good ball security.He's off to a good start on that, if he stays healthy he'll be one of those guys that wins you a fantasy championship.

Same...and I just bid $46. May even raise it some later tonite. Not sure $46 gets it done. Remember, WW pickups are more valuable early in the season since they're on your roster for more games.

Won't be close to enough but good luck. Will likely take at least 60-70 to land him.

Agreed. This is type you invest in. Shanahan is loyal if you pass protect and don't fumble. He loves the one cut and up the field runners. As long as the Skins are winning, Morris will get the ball. He loves the guy for whatever reason.

excellent contribution.

nobody is offering me more than Cobb or Nate Washington right now.
Run It Up

Isnt Nate Washington gonna miss time?Cobbs perceived value is really high right now with the Jennings injury debacle. Still hard to get an idea of his value.

Great rebuttal there chief... if you could elaborate more on this
concept that would be nice. Otherwise, possibly a valid response as to why you disagree with the statement?

You do realize that 1100 yards is only 69 a game, right?

Nah, I don't think there are that many believers yet.

With a $100 budget? That's way too much. Leaves you little room to compete for anyone down the road. I might up my bid since I'm a Fred Jackson owner, but $33 would be my absolute limit. That was a decent first game, but I think we need to temper our enthusiasm here.

The waiver wire audible just posted.They have him 33%-50%.Im glad I picked him up sunday morning lmfao.As the above poster mentioned, if you intend on keeping him and think he can stick out the job - you are owning him for 15 games, gonna have to pay more.

Yea. I like Cobb and could use a WR with Garcon hurting, but with these offers, I would rather sit on Morris I think. If I trade him for a guy like this and he ends up top 10 I will be more upset than if I keep him and he ends up droppable.

I was offered Benson for him and it's 50/50 whether I take it.

After last year I learned that any RB in GB has zero fantasy value. I'd never make that trade.

I got offered Morris for Anquan Boldin. I declined.
I got offered Morris for Mario Manningham. I declined.
I think I value him too much, so I might just sit. If he offered me Mario Manningham, he won't want to do Morris & Decker for Victor Cruz (just an example, not really offering it).

Good chance they were just probing offers hoping for a low counter.

Hightower had 25 carries in Week 1 last year and then never got closer than 20 carries to that.
3.4 ypc is terrible. I know free agent RBs that produce at all can be hard to come by, but IMO he has little value and will still be in a RBBC all year. He doesn't have elite skills in any area.
If he's available, I'd MUCH rather have Dwyer.

I was thinking the same thing. That's why I'm not getting upset. I just hit decline and tell them I'm not interested in that player. I'll be content holding him especially knowing he's not being used on anyone else's roster. I'll wait for the right offer.
that's not even the value before last week
Run It Up
Footballguy
I didnt have a draft where Dwyer wasnt drafted. I also didnt have a draft where Morris was.3.4 is definitely not good, but he ran hard. He plowed through defenders especially in the redzone, which is his saving grace imo, even if he loses his job I think he still gets the short yards/redzone.

According to Fleaflicker, Dwyer is owned in 53% of leagues, Morris is owned in 39%. That's not a huge difference. Morris is obviously available in more, but Dwyer is out there in a lot as well.'Run It Up said:

I can't get much for him. In a deep 12 team league with a 2 RB/FLEX (with the best RB available on the WW being Hillman and then Joe McKnight) I asked for WRs. I wanted a player of Heyward Bey caliber but nothing so far. I asked a team (who starts David Wilson and Ryan Williams) for Stevie Johnson (they also have Bowe, Welker, Brown, Olgetree) and I would include Michael Bush and was laughed at. His value is so low that I think he is almost worth keeping.
Sorry for a lot of parentheses.

I dont dispute this nor was implying they werent available.I was just saying that going into the draft Dwyer was mega hyped, Morris was mentioned in passing barely.
Brutal.

Agreed. People are still skeptical of the Washington RB situation. Why trade him for a low end WR when he could have more long term value? If he strings a few good games together he could bring more.
Eviloutsider
Footballguy
What's brutal? His value? The run-on sentences? The guys's starting RBs?
Eviloutsider
Footballguy
I do agree that his value could be higher but I think this is about as high as he gets. Sell high was my thinking but nobody is buying high.

1+3. I realize Morris isnt in the best situation, but Idk how someone that in need of a RB would turn down Morris + Bush for Stevie (whom im really high on).Im watching the rerun of the Skins Saints game right now and its in the early 3rd QTR. I paid attention to Morris not Helu/Royster.He is handily outplaying both.

The farthest you'll look to is last year? There was this guy, his name was Ryan Grant, he ran pretty well.'fred_1_15301 said:

He also wasnt James Starks/Brandon Jackson. To of the least talented backs in the NFL. I do agree though, I think a RB will be huge for GB, just not for fantasy purposes.

12 Team Keeper..... 2 RB starters & 2 Flex.... picked up A Morris off waivers last week... elected to let him sit on the bench this week... started Tate in his place.... 19.6 pt difference.... lost by 19.2
Trying to decide if I will entertain offers.... I could use him as RB3
Murray/JCharles/Hillis/Morris/LeShoure
Can not trust Kevin Smith/LeShoure situation
With deep WR option as flex, having 2 good RB's are good
Lloyd/AJGreen/Cobb/Garcon/SRice/Jeffery
So, with offers out there like Cobb/Manningham caliber WR, what is a RB offer to consider? Or even a TE? I have O Daniels as TE1
The Shanny Experience is hard to overcome at this stage... too early to have faith, but that glimmer of hope he stays at the top of the RB depth chart is hard to resist.....
Temptation? To believe or not to believe.... that is our dilema!

I just traded Morris in a large keeper league (IDP, keep 18 players) with 9th & 12th round picks in the 2013 FA/rookie draft in exchange for a 2nd round pick in that draft. The team I traded him to will likely pick in the top 5 of each round, so I'm looking at moving Morris for a top 15 rookie pick.

For perspective, this year that draft slot would have been choosing amongst Bobby Wagner, Kendall Wright, Josh Gordon, Coby Fleener, etc. All guys would higher upside and longevity than Morris. The year before it would have been Demarco Murray, Patrick Peterson, Von Miller, Lance Kendricks, etc.
Note: the following successful bids were processed the Wednesday before the season started.
In my 12 team dynasty leagues where he wasnt'd drafted + we held a waiver period before the season he went for the following amounts on 9/5: $61, $61, $17, $10. None of the winning bids were mine.
(22-25 player in-season rosters, ppr, start 2RB, 3WR, 1RB/WR/TE flex)
