| Footballguys view: Morris is back with the Giants to give them veteran depth in the backfield. The Giants say there's a chance Saquon Barkley will be ready for Week 1 of the regular season. If he's not, then they could turn to Devontae Booker and Morris to run the rock. |

Giants | Alfred Morris catches on with NY Giants Tue Sep 29, 06:01 PM
Free-agent RB Alfred Morris was added to the practice squad of the New York Giants on Tuesday, Sept. 29.
| Footballguys view: Morris was with the Cardinals last year but only appeared in one game (one carry, four yards). He did spend two seasons with the Cowboys (2016, 2017) under then head coach (and current Giants OC) Jason Garrett. Morris joins Devonta Freeman in the Giants backfield (along with Wayne Gallman and Dion Lewis) as the team tries to find an answer to replacing Saquon Barkley. |

Cowboys | Alfred Morris joining Dallas Mon Jul 29, 09:36 PM
Free-agent RB Alfred Morris (49ers) agreed to terms with the Dallas Cowboys Monday, July 29. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Morris has experience with the team and they are carrying a lot of inexperienced players at running back. He's probably there more to soak up reps while Ezekiel Elliott is out than threaten for a regular season spot, but you never know. |

Saints | Alfred Morris visiting New Orleans Mon Jul 29, 02:40 PM
Free-agent RB Alfred Morris (49ers) is reportedly meeting with the New Orleans Saints on Monday, July 29.
| Footballguys view: Morris might be a threat to Dwayne Washington or Devine Ozigbo, but he won't push Latavius Murray for touches if he is signed. It is notable that the Saints are sniffing around free agent running backs. It could indicate some questions about the bottom of their depth chart. |

49ers | Alfred Morris still No. 2 on the depth chart? Thu Oct 18, 01:43 AM
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated that RB Raheem Mostert seeing time ahead of RB Alfred Morris was not a permanent switch and instead related to what they felt was the best matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
| Footballguys view: Mostert showed more burst than Morris has at any point this year. If the 49ers have to turn to a backup, Morris may get the first call, but Mostert will get enough work to show that gap again. Mostert is the one to carry in deeper leagues despite Shanahan's sentiment. |

| Footballguys view: Breida was downgraded from full to limited practice from Thursday to Friday so he and Morris are both risky plays this week. Breida's workload this week will hinge on how his knee feels, which could be subject to change during the game. |

49ers | Alfred Morris productive in road loss Sun Sep 23, 06:10 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Alfred Morris rushed 14 times for 67 yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Morris ran well in this one and converted at the goal line, but the whole offense is in for a collapse if Jimmy Garoppolo is done for the year. Morris would be droppable in short bench leagues if that's the case. |

49ers | Matt Breida listed as first-team running back Tue Sep 4, 08:30 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Matt Breida was listed ahead of Alfred Morris on the team's depth chart Tuesday, Sept. 4.
| Footballguys view: Breida had a shoulder injury that knocked him out of the final three preseason games. It was not serious but the team wanted to be cautious with their young back. Even though he is listed as the starer, we should see the 49ers implement a RBBC with Breida and Morris. |

49ers | Alfred Morris a lock? Wed Aug 29, 02:37 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Alfred Morris appears to have made the team's 53-man roster, based in part on comments by head coach Kyle Shanahan that Morris may not play much in the club's final preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
| Footballguys view: Morris was the lead back for the 49ers in the dress rehearsal for the regular season. With Jerrick McKinnon and Matt Breida still working back from injury, Morris may begin the regular season as the starter or lead back. Stay tuned. |

49ers | Alfred Morris a pleasant surprise Sat Aug 25, 06:43 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Alfred Morris ran for 84 yards on 17 carries in his first game as a 49er Saturday, Aug. 25, against the Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: Matt Breida and Jerick McKinnon are out so Morris gets the nod and shows why he still could be a value for NFL teams and Fantasy GMs. He's not being drafted at all in standard redraft leagues which makes sense as McKinnon is expected back in Week 1, but he's someone worth a very late flier or keeping an eye on off the waiver wire if he makes the roster. |

Jets | NYJ meeting with Alfred Morris Sat Jul 28, 03:43 PM
Free-agent RB Alfred Morris (Cowboys) is meeting with the New York Jets Saturday, July 28, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Jets have to add depth at the RB position after losing Eli McGuire to a foot injury. His status is unknown at the time, but the second-year back is expected to miss significant time. Morris is quite unlike McGuire in many aspects. He's not the receiving threat that McGuire is and would be more of an addition for veteran depth at the position. |

Free-agent RB Alfred Morris (Cowboys) is receiving interest from several teams and will not re-sign with the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source.
