Might be too late to buy now.

Morris is a start regardless if matchup guy. They just are going to use him all day.
Cliff Clavin

Not selling him anymore. I can't think of many RBs I'd take for him straight up now. Foster, Peterson, Rice, MJD, Charles, McCoy. After that, a few guys you could argue (DMC, Richardson, Forte) but thats about it.

Where's that ####### that's been constantly telling people to sell. Where is he?

Haha props for poppin' in here SSD, I still wish he'd catch some more passes but Alf showed some shimmy today and at least caught a screen pass.Where's that ####### that's been constantly telling people to sell. Where is he?
I have been saying all along that Shanahan loves Morris. Morris has been riding the bench for me all season. I am starting to think he is a must start each week, even over McFadden and McCoy. I am already starting RGIII over Matt Ryan.

I'm likely to do the same. Already been platooning RG3 and Ryan - I've chosen correctly all 4 weeks, luckily.McFadden as my #1 and Bradshaw as (I thought) my #2 is probably going to be changing very soon.

Just moved Alfred Morris for RG III.
yeah i benched him. probably won't happen again.

Yeah, believed in him from Week 1 and happy I did. He's the #3 RB in my league right now. Here's hoping for more than my original projection thoughts. Unless he gets hurt I don't see how his production slows down, this was arguably one of his worst matchups left on the schedule and he torched them.

A Morris!
Was offered Morris for my 2013 1st/2nd rookie draft picks....chewing on it

Conventional wisdom says that the time to sell is when everyone is buying in (so to speak). As warren buffett says... "Be greedy when others are fearful, be fearful when others get greedy"
Personally I wouldn't sell Morris right now however, his arrow is still pointing upwards.

I was surprised at the trade value of this guy being so low from what I've seen posted here over the past couple of weeks. RG3 has this whole offense clocking, Morris is one of the few RB's that you can actually start every week regardless of the matchup/situation. Congrats to those that drafted this guy late and held on or to those that bought while the price was very reasonable.

I have heard the Terrell Davis comparisons and honestly did not see it until this week. He had a little 3 yd run in the 2nd half where I was finally like.. "hmm that's what people have been talking about".
Good to see that he's getting targets on screen passes as well, though it'll be awhile, if ever, that he gets worked into the passing down sets.

Likely finishes top 10 in non-PPR, top 15 is a sure bet. Based on what I've seen from his owners it's gonna be nearly impossible to buy for a reasonable price now.

Not crazy about it but I see why you pilled the trigger.

Well that really is selling high and buying low. Hate it.

In PPR Morris has outscored Nelson by 7 points on the season.

They sure did in this trade. Absolute theft! Nice job

Seriously... did you break into the guys house and beat him with a pipe until he logged into his fantasy account?

I really liked what i saw from Morris in these past 2 weeks. Plus with defenders having to worry about RG3 being a dual threat, i think this will open up even bigger holes for Morris to run through. Only thing i am worried about morris is Shanahan.
Im holding onto Morris mostly because McFadden and Martin havent lived up too their potential this year. Im hoping Morris and R. Bush can carry my team until those 2 get their act together if at all.

Top 10 RB for a top 5 TE seems okay.
Haha no it was offered to me too and like 4 other people in the league were giving me crap about it today

That's insane, I look at that trade and besides the loss of Wayne you upgraded at every single spot of the trade. Amazing. Also yeah... I agree. Morris for Graham is completely reasonable now. Had you tried to buy after Week 1? You could have probably gotten Morris for like Jacob Tamme though. I think I need to get a return on my statement that there are no shanahanigan's to be had here. Clearly there are, people could have gotten a Top 5-10 fantasy RB for the price of a 2 liter bottle of Coke earlier in the season and now they're finally coming to realize they really missed out and now the price is way to high.

Wayne isn't a scrub and he's outscoring Morris. He also has job security that Morris doesn't have. If you break it into separate trades it's rather fair:Rodgers for McFaddenMoore for VickMorris for WayneLaFell for Brown

For this year he does, but next year anything could happen. Wayne may be another year older but he'll still be Indy's #1 WR.

Just flipped CJ0K and Colston for Al Mo. and Fitzy. Sorry to see Colston go, have to try to get him in a league but Al. Mo for CJ was too good to pass up. Here is to you guys being right about him and CJ ROS.

He is the #5 RB after 4 games in my league, so yeah, he has a lot of value.

No, it really isn't.

I agree, I wouldnt trade Alf for Murray at this point, or last week (or the week before).

Couple of tough weeks coming up for him, thinking of benching him for T Smith vs KC. My fear is Wash falls behind early and Morris is taken out.

Atlanta I would not consider a tough matchup at all... they're currently next to last in the league in yards per carries allowed. I'm surprised alot of pundits haven't noticed this, but Atlanta can be run on very easily.
Hey guys for all I know Alf may be the next Terrell Davis for Shanahan. He's had a good run so far but I personally have barely seen him at all. With DeMarco I know without any doubt what I have. They have their center coming back and a bye week to work out their problems. That's the fun of this game, we don't really know for sure how they will do and only time will tell. I'm certainly not going to root against the guy just because I traded him. Good luck to everyone that is rooting for Alf to take you to the super bowl.

Yeah, they have been but mostly by tandems and a tentative J. Charles, so it may have gone unnoticed.

Run It Up

I didnt meant to imply that it was a bad trade. I just felt like even a week ago it was at best a lateral move, cant deny at all that Murray could outplay Morris for the rest of the season easily, I just think its too close and leaning towards Morris.

The experts in Vegas have it only as a 3 point spread. I tend to look at the spreads when considering who to start. Keep in mind Washington was getting hammered by the Bengals but Morris still got 17 rushes. Atlanta's weakness, as mentioned, is running the ball on them. Another tidbit is that Vegas has this over/under at 50, the 3rd highest for the week. It would seem that, by Vegas logic, there will be plenty of opportunity for running the ball and scoring opportunities. I'm not going to argue him vs Torrey, but I'm just stating that it seems Morris may have a solid shot at some good stats this week.In other news, I remember after week 2 of the pre-season when he had 10 carries for 34 yards and I just picked him up for the hell of it because anything goes with Shanahan. My oh my, how that has paid off. I've tried to cash in on his current value, but my league mates still aren't giving him much respect. I guess I'll just keep riding this as long as I can (that sounds wrong).
I own Morris and Fitz and would never do this deal. You made out well.
