SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #66   
Overall: #282

Morris was slowed by injury early last season, but ended the year getting the bulk of the carries in the Seahawks offense. He had double-digit carries in five of his last six games and broke the 100-yard mark twice during that stretch. Morris has averaged 602-rushing yards the last three seasons. He isn't a lead back but can do alright when forced into his action. Morris is best served as a change of pace option or third-down back, a role he should serve with the Lions this season, backing up Kevin Smith. Morris has a lot of speed and ankle-breaking moves. He isn't a very big back, though, which is another reason he isn't suited for starting duty.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
His numbers have been eerily similar the last three seasons, so you know what to expect from Morris. He'll get you about 600-rushing yards and around 15 receptions. He is an OK No. 3 or 4 back for fantasy teams. Don't reach for Morris too soon.
