Summary

Running Back Rank: #22
Overall: #50

Helu had a sporadic role much of the season but eventually emerged as the go-to back before his season was cut short because of knee/toe injuries. Helu had three straight 100-yard games from Week 12-14. He also had a 100-yard receiving game in Week 9, showing his dual threat ability. Helu finished the season with 1,019 total yards and three touchdowns. Even when he wasn't getting the chances to run the ball, he was a big factor in the passing game, catching 49 passes. He'll be a big part of the offense whether he is starting or serving as a change-of-pace back in 2012. There is a good chance he gets the most chances of the Redskins' backs, though. He is a very talented player. Helu has good size and speed. He hits the hole in a hurry and can reach the next level quickly. He showed off his receiving skills last season and should only get better in this area.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Helu is a concern in the Redskins' offense as they have a history of rotating backs at running back but he clearly has the most upside of all the backs on the roster. He is a high upside pick as a top No. 3 back or even a low-end No. 2. He can get 1,200 total yards and six touchdowns in an even larger role this season.

Notes

2011-12-24 11:41:00

Helu is out for Week 16.

2011-12-23 14:59:00

Washington Redskins RB Roy Helu Jr. (knee, toe) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 23, and is listed as questionable for Week 16. If he is not able to play, RB Evan Royster or RB Ryan Torain would start in his place.

Fantasy Impact: We would be a little surprised if Helu didn't play but even if active, he'll be limited some in the game.

2011-11-22 21:45:00

The Washington Redskins have been reluctant to start RB Roy Helu Jr. over RB Ryan Torain, despite the fact that Torain has just 71 yards in the last six games, compared to Helu's 122. 'I like Helu. He's doing some great things,' head coach Mike Shanahan said. 'I don't want to put too much pressure on him too early. He's not ready for that. But he's gaining experience, and I like what I see.' Torain started in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys, but Helu and RB Tashard Choice saw plenty of work. Shanahan isn't tipping his hand as to which running back will start in Week 12, but the team has started to roll with veteran players in the starting lineup recently. Shanahan doesn't want to rush Helu, but Torain isn't making the most of his opportunities to start games as the leading back.

Fantasy Impact: At this point, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to not give Helu a chance to start. It could still happen before the season is out, though.

2011-11-06 11:45:00

Washington Redskins rookie RB Roy Helu Jr. is starting against the San Francisco 49ers during Week 9, he replaces RB Ryan Torain.
