Hey all,

I drafted from the 7 slot this year and, predictably, I find myself the weakest at RB (Crowell, Ware, D. Martin, CJ Prosise, Perine, A. Morris).  While I'm cautiously optimistic about all of the players I drafted, I'm the most skeptical about A. Morris for the obvious reasons (Zeke's impending return & McFadden's seeming hold on the starting gig in the meantime). I had hoped that Morris would be a viable fill-in RB2 in the first 4 weeks without Martin, but I'm having my doubts.

My question is: if you had my roster (see below), would you drop Morris for a different RB now? Or would you wait until week 1 to see if his lotto ticket "hits"?  I've included some of the RBs currently available on the waiver wire below.  

Any insight you all could provide would be greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance.

Agreed with above - I wouldn't drop Morris for the guys you've listed.  Sit tight - McFadden injury history suggests Morris' number may come up after all.

 
I actually like Turbin more than Morris. I think he's firmly ahead of Mack, and Gore is even more likely to break down than McFadden, also once Elliott comes back, Morris is likely a cut, where as Turbin could have value all year.

 
I think you I would keep Morris but pay attention to reports on who will be starting.  Also watch Gore to see if he gets dinged.  I like Turbin a lot and if this was for a longer term situation I would rather have Turbin.  But since you are looking for Martin depth for the first three weeks I would wait and see what happens with the Dallas backfield a bit longer before making any moves.
