Week 3 at Kansas City Chiefs
It’s good to see Alfred Morris getting carries—12 in Week 1 and 14 last week—but he’s averaging only 3.3 yards per carry and seems relegated to two-down work in a time-share with the explosive Matt Breida. Morris did catch a pair of passes for 32 yards last week against the Lions, but that’s likely to be the exception, not the norm, for the veteran.
This week, Morris will face a Chiefs defense that has given up the second-most fantasy points to the running back position through the first two games of the season, but most of that has been in the passing game. With the Chiefs offense likely to score fast and often, Morris’ touches may not be plentiful, making him a risky option in most leagues. He has some low-end RB3 value in standard league formats, but fantasy owners should look elsewhere this week if possible.
