Shorts has been the #8 WR over the last seven weeks (since he moved into the starting lineup). Agree that Brown could still take it, but his owners will need to hope McCoy doesn't come back.

Snagged Morris with my- and the leagues first F/A move (just 3 apiece for the year) of the year week one, aaand nabbed Bryce with my 3rd move at our deadline as I fight for the last playoff spot in my division.

Cecil Shorts.
If anyone got Morris off the wavier wire they are in a hack league. Just saying.

I'm gonna call you out on this because posts like this are annoying as he'll, like you're some genius or something.Most people drafted a week or two before the season started, and Morris wasn't named starter until just before the first game.You say it like Morris was a no brainer, but the reality is that prior to the season the redskins had Hightower, Helu, Morris, and Royster.With the games shanahan plays it was anyone's guess who would be the starter, and even then the situation is always fluctuating. Don't come on here pretending that Morris was some no brainier draft pick that you knew was going to be the player he is today. You did not, we did not.He wasn't picked up in a lot of leagues until after week one, and even then people were waiting for the shoe to drop on him.So waiver wire darling he most certainly is.

Given Brown's production level, position and the timing of that production, it's almost a multiplier to his value. This is a paradox but how often do you find a Bryce doing what he's doing, when he's doing it and as well as he's doing it? I suspect he's already rocked the status quo in more than a few leagues...

Yep. Check this out - came out the day after our draft, and reflects what people were thinking at the time.

Bryce Brown is quickly making this Shorts/Cobb/Morris WW darling debate a moot point.
Yeah, if McCoy is out for the playoffs, we have a clear winner.

I don't consider any of the league I play in hack leagues, and Morris wasn't drafted once (out of 4). Our drafts were 2-3 weeks before the season started and at that time Roy Helu (primarily) and Evan Royster were getting all the love.Dodds' last set of preseason projections (Sept. 2nd) had Morris ranked as RB75, Helu at RB39 and Royster at RB44.For leagues that allow open transactions prior to week one, I think Morris was scooped up in a lot once it was announced he'd start, but the idea this guy had much fantasy potential, let alone was even draftable in standard size leagues prior to a day or two before the season started is hilarious.

Exactly. The whole discussion is ridiculous.

No quibbling about that. If Brown can be counted on weeks 14-16 to come anywhere near the numbers he's put up the past two, Brown gets my vote.

If anybody still has doubts, go read the homer thread. It's right on page 1 right now. Read the numerous links. No clue who in the 3-headed monster would be the lead back. Morris was announced on game day. Not the week of - ON GAME DAY.Can't believe bull####ters think they make stuff up.
and why not. Bryce brown may have gotten people some wins the past two weeks, but Morris has been steady for many teams, he gets my vote for waiver wire player of the year. Even more so considering he managed to turn Shanahan into a one back HC despite the doubts everyone had.
Meh. Brown was drafted in all of my leagues.By me!

Either way, the story is still being written but if Brown continues on his current vector for three more weeks, he's easily my vote.

Is this for real? No shark league left bryce freaking brown undrafted? This kid came out of nowhere once McCoy went down with a concussion. If you play in a 12 team league with 16 roster spots the only team that would even think about drafting brown would be the guy who drafted McCoy and even he might not think about doing that in the draft since McCoy has typically been very durable up until this concussion. Additionally there are leagues out there that have 14 roster spots. In a league like that the only "backups" that are getting drafted are Ben Tate and spiller. And I quote backups BC those guys have proven that they can produce even in a backup role and that if the starter goes down they can be top 10 backs.Perhaps I play in more competitive leagues than you guys.

ion Lewis has clearly won the Eagles' No. 2 running back job.A minor hamstring tweak briefly slowed Lewis, but he's back practicing and is expected to play against the Patriots Monday night. Virtually all reports have the second-year back well ahead of rookies Bryce Brown and Chris Polk. Lewis is the handcuff for LeSean McCoy owners, albeit a below-average one.

Source: Philadelphia Inquirer Aug 20 - 11:10 AM
He earned backup duties only after Lewis didn't recover we'll from his hammy, that was after week two.
Coach Andy Reid confirmed that rookie RB Bryce Brown has earned the right to move ahead of Dion Lewis on the depth chart.
Lewis was a healthy scratch while Brown rushed three times for seven yards in support of LeSean McCoy. If McCoy were to go down, the Eagles would likely turn to a committee spearheaded by Brown.

If you want to tell me brown should have been the handcuff after week 2 that's one thing, but don't try to insult people by saying he was drafted in ALL shark leagues, I'm calling bs. Did you leave your last jjob because your ff prowess earns you a six figure income, or are you just a regular guy like the rest of us non shark pool leaguers?

There is no debate. Shorts qualifies. Cobb/Morris do not.It's between Brown and Shorts and Brown is going to win by a long shot.

With his big game this week, Moreno puts himself third or fourth in this race. He's a mile behind Brown at this point, but if he stays hot and Brown comes to Earth, he'll merit consideration, especially if Shorts misses more than one week with the concussion. In my non-ppr league, Brown has 55.2 points over the last two weeks, while Moreno only had 19.4. Now Knowshon's up to 42.1. So he'll still be significantly behind Brown after week 14, but if Brown has a more pedestrain performance this week, things could get interesting. He's not going to average 8 ypc for too much longer, and none of us can accurately predict Shady's situation. It would be a stretch to think that Moreno could catch up to Brown with such limited time remaining, but if it's close, playoff success trumps the regular season in my book.For me the race is between Shorts, Brown, Alexander and Moreno. DX would need at least two very big weeks and he's facing some tough defenses going forward, but he's got his shot. In my eyes, Morris and Cobb are not candidates, but I'm not going to bother to check my league's rosters after our auction and report back here. Got no time for that.

Now that it seems McCoy might not be back its Brown so far
Shorts being out hurts
and behind them are Reece , Alexander and now Moreno. Moreno has a long ways to go to even be close and Reece has mcfadden back (Maybe) goodson back etc but Alexander can surpase Shorts . Still 4 more weeks to go. And yes , dont consider Morris or Cobb on this list.

I am very grateful for Alfred Morris helping me out in two leagues all season.
His unspectacular, above-average scoring was nice. But Bryce Brown has easily kicked him to the bench these last few weeks. Brown can actually win you weeks and possibly your playoffs. I could have patched in RBs all season to get somewhere near what Morris gave during the regular FF season, but Morris made the lineup call easy, he was convenient, but not special. I knew I could get a solid 85 yds with maybe a TD.
But what Brown's given the last few weeks is GOLD. If this keeps up, even at a 65-75% clip, it's a no brainer. Brown might end up the most important waiver wire add in years. The timing is reminding me of years when Mike Anderson and Jamaal Charles helped me win championships.
Let's be real, Morris didn't carry any of us to the playoffs, he won't win us any playoff games either. This time of year I need STUDS, Matchup busters, advantages. Morris is neither. When you're up against the Brown owner in the next few weeks it will hit you. With McCoy's 2012 in question, if Brown can keep up even two-thirds this pace, you'll be wishing you'd scored on Brown, not Morris. I promise.

And that's why it's a hack league.
Dodds' last set of preseason projections (Sept. 2nd) had Morris ranked as RB75, Helu at RB39 and Royster at RB44.
For leagues that allow open transactions prior to week one, I think Morris was scooped up in a lot once it was announced he'd start, but the idea this guy had much fantasy potential, let alone was even draftable in standard size leagues prior to a day or two before the season started is hilarious.

Alfred Morris is only the #10 rb for the season in standard scoring leagues. That's not terrible but it's super easy to patchwork that kind of production every week from various backups and waiver wire scrubs.:badposting:

Morris. At RB that kind of solid consistent persistent production for a RB2 or flex all season is gold.
Morris is not considered to be in the equation by most of us.
None of the McCoy owners in my league handcuffed him. In fact, in one league, the McCoy owner had the most remaining FAAB and still didn't bother to nab Brown. Brown then cleared waivers! and I scooped him up.
