    Default Ezekiel Elliot suspension - pickup McFadden or Morris?

    With Elliot set to serve his suspension starting week 7, which back would be the better option: McFadden or Morris?

    Right now this is a 50/50 toss up. Preseason indication would favor DMC but regular season would favor Morris (being as DMC has not had a touch yet this season). With the Cowboys on a bye this week, the situation won't likely clarify until next week. If I were to gamble, I'd shoot for Morris. But without any clarity this is a crapshoot to guess.

    Agree with the above in that it's a crapshoot and I would go for Morris first. Real crappy situation.

    I'd go Morris, but McFadden not touching the ball all yr makes me think they had him sitting so there was 0 chance of injury when Elliott was suspended.

    As a Panthers fan.... and watching Stewart get injured the passed couple years... they didn't go to the backup on the field... they went to the guy that was on the practice squad (healthy scratched) in Artis-Payne.

    Running back is such a multi-dimensional position. The Panthers didn't dress Artis-Payne in games that Stewart was playing because he played a similar type of game. Instead they dressed other backups that were better at things that Stewart wasn't as good at. But when Stewart got injured... Artis-Payne came in and took the bulk of the carries.

    So based on this thought-basis I would almost pick up McFadden. And I do like the point 2014OG makes above... that they were making sure McFadden was healthy when Elliot did get suspended.

    Would've been nice if the NFL could've announced this on a Tuesday when all players were on waivers in fantasy.
    Bah.

    I'm reading a few Twitter Fantasy guys saying DMF is the pickup over Morris.

    McFadden for me - it's risky either way. I think he'll come out of it with more touches...though he's likely eased in.

    I scooped up Morris, but I may just drop him for McFadden. I like what PenguinHunter said above which makes good sense when you think about it. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

    NFL is saying that the suspension will remain intact, that being said, another decision will be made by the courts on Tuesday from what I read on the score.

    Looks like Zeke may be good to play for the next two games.

    OMG, this league is a joke. If you're legit a star you get away with anything. Now it's coming up to a more important part of the schedule (49ers, Redskins, Chiefs, Falcons, Eagles, Chargers, Redskins, Giants, Raiders, Seahawks, Eagles to close out the season) so the "No Suspension for Zeke" team is going to push to have it likely be dismissed all year again.

    This is honestly the most stupid way to handle a suspension by the league/NFLPA, taints everything to me. They're just lucky the USA is focusing on kneeling during the anthem instead of this circus.
