Alfred Morris

Cowboys' Alfred Morris outperforming Darren McFadden in preseason

Dallas Cowboys running back Alfred Morris has racked up 102 rushing yards on 21 carries through 3 preseason games.

What It Means:

Once firmly on the roster bubble, Morris has emerged this preseason as an option to help Darren McFadden in the running game while Ezekiel Elliott is suspended. Morris has averaged 4.9 yards per carry, compared to McFadden's 4.5 in the preseason, giving the Cowboys' confidence that he can be another option to start at running back early in the season. While McFadden is the player you want, don't forget about Morris in deeper leagues.

Our models project Morris for 95.6 carries, 419.9 rushing yards, and 3.0 touchdowns this season
