72dolfan 5 Posted October 4, 2017 If Zeke's suspension is upheld, will the primary back, in your opinion be Morris or McFadden? When his suspension was first announced, all fingers were pointing to McFadden, but Morris has been the back up so far. Personally, I think it'll still be McFadden, but wondering if you have some insight being a Cowboys fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
72dolfan 5 Posted October 4, 2017 Is it worth stashing Morris just in case, or a waste of time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 399 Posted October 4, 2017 Morris is the guy who has been spelling Zeke this season while McFadden hasn't suited up. I don't know why they would all of a sudden start McFadden and have him leapfrog Morris. Morris broke off a 70 yard run Sunday so he can still play, not sure McFadden can that well. They both will likely see a few touches in that scenario but I highly expect the majority to go to Morris. I can't say as to if it's worth stashing him, just depends on how the court case goes and your bench. If Zeke is playing neither will see the field much at all.

Texas10 15 Posted October 4, 2017 I think if Zeke isn't there McFadden is the starter with Morris as situational. They dress Morris because they have Zeke, compliment is different. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted October 4, 2017 I think if Zeke isn't there McFadden is the starter with Morris as situational. They dress Morris because they have Zeke, compliment is different. I heard or read somewhere that it's because McFadden doesn't play special teams, so if the dress him they give up a spot for that. It doesn't really indicate RB pecking order, just team needs with Zeke still around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoOnAtIk 75 Posted October 5, 2017    Moris doesnt play special teams either.. so its bs Are you sure? I'm pretty sure Morris USED to play special teams with the Redskins. Not as a returner but a coverage/tackling guy on punts and kickoffs. Not sure if he still has any role on ST but I know he used to. So there could be some truth to McFadden being the actual "backup".

Flgatorguy87 160 Posted October 5, 2017 I genuinely don't know, but stashed Morris when he hit the wire. That's too valuable of a handcuff to leave sitting around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,452 Posted October 5, 2017 I would pick up Morris. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He may have played ST in the preseason his rookie year, but beyond that Morris was the bell cow for the redskins, no way he played ST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Mojo 3 Posted October 6, 2017 Any more insight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 399 Posted October 6, 2017 Any more insight? Zeke will play this week at least, no ruling from the court so this topic isn't so relevant for at least two more weeks Cowboys have their bye in Week 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
72dolfan 5 Posted October 6, 2017 Zeke will play this week at least, no ruling from the court so this topic isn't so relevant for at least two more weeks Cowboys have their bye in Week 6 It's relevant if one or both of these players are on the WW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 399 Posted October 6, 2017 It's relevant if one or both of these players are on the WW. I just mean Zeke is playing this week so neither of them are going to get many touches Sorry for the confusion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Mojo 3 Posted October 6, 2017 In my case I picked up Morris and a day later another owner dropped McFadden... Don't think many owners can roster both for extended time with limited bench and byes approaching Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
