Redskins | Roy Helu misses practice

Fri, 24 May 2013 12:00:02 -0700

Washington Redskins RB Roy Helu (Achilles', toe) did not participate in organized team activities Thursday, May 23. Helu did get some work in on the side as he rehabs from a toe injury.

Fantasy Tip: It was thought that Helu would be a full go for organized team activities, so Helu should be ready to go as training camp gets closer.

Sun, 19 May 2013 18:32:41 -0700

The Washington Redskins have seven running backs on the roster right now, with only RB Alfred Morris guaranteed of a job in Washington this season.

Washington Redskins RB Roy Helu (foot) had surgery on Feb. 5, to correct a lingering foot issue. Helu said he expects to be back at full speed for the start of organized team activities.

Fantasy Tip: It does not sound like this will be much of an issue for Helu in the fall, but monitor his status the rest of the off season and adjust your draft boards accordingly.

Redskins | Ryan Grant adds depth

Tue, 25 Sep 2012 16:41:11 -0700

Washington Redskins RB Ryan Grant will add depth to the running back corps with RBs Evan Royster (knee, toe) and Roy Helu Jr. (toe) dealing with injuries. Royster is day-to-day with a strained patella tendon in his right knee, and he also aggravated a pre-existing turf toe injury. Helu is dealing with turf toe and had been limited with an injured Achilles' tendon in the preseason. Royster was limping around Monday, Sept. 24. Helu was wearing a walking boot following the team's Week 3 game, but he's listed as day-to-day, too.

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 18:07:01 -0700

Redskins | Alfred Morris posts 89 rushing yards

Sun, 16 Sep 2012 23:47:37 -0700

Washington Redskins RB Alfred Morris had 16 carries for a game-high 89 yards in Week 2 against the St. Louis Rams. RB Evan Royster had just one carry for four yards, and two catches for seven yards, while RB Roy Helu Jr. did not even have one carry, and he had one catch for no gain.

Fantasy Tip: Morris appears to have a strangehold on the top tailback job, but that can change at the drop of the hat with head coach Mike Shanahan. Still, fantasy owners can feel confident using Morris as an RB2 or 'flex' play heading into Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals in a very favorable matchup.

Redskins | Alfred Morris is the starting running back

Mon, 10 Sep 2012 12:18:03 -0700

Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan confirmed that RB Alfred Morris is the starting running back. Shanahan also said that he still believes in RBs Roy Helu and Evan Royster.

Redskins | Roy Helu, Evan Royster have limited production

Sun, 09 Sep 2012 16:32:31 -0700

Washington Redskins RB Roy Helu Jr. carried just two times for two yards in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints, and he added three receptions for 25 yards. RB Evan Royster carried just two times for 10 yards.

Fantasy Tip: Helu and Royster were definitely overshadowed by RB Alfred Morris, who rumbled for 96 yards and two touchdowns. If you're an unfortunate fantasy owner who has Helu or Royster on a roster, don't panic just yet. Head coach Mike Shanahan is very fickle with his RBs. However, the explosion by Morris likely gives him the majority of the carries in Week 2 against the St. Louis Rams, so Helu and Royster should be benched until further notice.

Redskins | Alfred Morris expected to start

Sun, 09 Sep 2012 07:53:52 -0700

Washington Redskins rookie RB Alfred Morris is expected to start during Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints. Morris was the team's most impressive back during the preseason.

Fantasy Tip: Don't get too excited. Coach Mike Shanahan is no stranger to using a committee approach during the game. Even if Morris starts, that doesn't guarantee he will be given the majority of the touches. He, Roy Helu and Evan Royster are all RB3 material with plenty of risk.

Redskins | Mike Shanahan keeping RB starter secret

Sat, 01 Sep 2012 18:10:22 -0700

Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan indicated Saturday, Sept. 1, that he has settled on a starting running back for Week 1, but he is keeping it a secret. He said RBs Roy Helu Jr. and Evan Royster have made "tremendous progession" in pass protection, so the starter is believed to be one of the two.

Fantasy Tip: Helu, Royster and undrafted rookie RB Alfred Morris are each expected to see touches in the opener against the New Orleans Saints. This type of secretive behavior by Shanahan gives fantasy owners fits. Look for Shanny to play the hot hand throughout the season, so be prepared to shuffle your lineup accordingly.

Redskins | Evan Royster legitimately leading charge?

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 17:38:18 -0700

Washington Redskins RB Evan Royster looked like the best back in the team's training camp last week, according to ESPN.com's Dan Graziano. People from the organization have given Graziano the impression that they believe Royster has a higher ceiling than RB Roy Helu, if each is healthy. They also think highly of rookie RB Alfred Morris, who isn't out of the mix, in part because health is their chief concern regarding both Royster and Helu.

If Tim Hightower (knee) is healthy, he remains the starting running back.

Head coach Mike Shanahan likes to give his backs something close to a full workload in the preseason in order to evaluate them, which probably means that Royster will play the majority of the Redskins' preseason game on Thursday, Aug. 9. It might be difficult to assess Royster in the upcoming contest because FB Darrel Young (hamstring), OT Jammal Brown (hips) and OG Kory Lichtensteiger (knee) are out, and OG Chris Chester (ankle) may not play.

Fantasy Tip: In other words, don't read too much into who's starting in the first preseason contest. Fantasy players should file the reported opinions of Washington personnel in their memory banks, however.

Redskins | Evan Royster wants to be No. 1 running back

Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:01:56 -0700

Washington Redskins RB Evan Royster is trying to take over the team's No. 1 running back duties. To win the starting job, he has to outperform RBs Roy Helu and Tim Hightower. "We're all trying to do that. So it's going to be tough," Royster said. "You can't tackle him," head coach Mike Shanahan said about Royster. "He makes people miss. He knows how to cut and he knows when to cut." Royster said he feels comfortable in the offense. He did note that the one thing he wants to improve on is his conditioning, as he felt he wasn't as prepared physically as he needed to be last season.

Redskins | Still have concerns about Roy Helu

Wed, 25 Jul 2012 07:14:36 -0700

Washington Redskins coaches still have some questions about RB Roy Helu. Helu struggles to consistently pick up chunks of yardage, and the team would like to see him do more than just take what's there and be able to make something out of nothing. There also are questions about his durability. Injuries hampered Helu late last season and kept him out of most of offseason workouts. Head coach Mike Shanahan said the questions about Helu's durability will remain until he can prove otherwise.

Redskins | Roy Helu inactive

Sat, 24 Dec 2011 08:44:08 -0800

Washington Redskins RB Roy Helu Jr. (toe) is inactive for Week 16.

Fantasy Tip: Evan Royster will start, and Ryan Torain will be active. Royster is the better fantasy football play since he has been in Mike Shanahan's favor as the backup, but would it really surprise anyone if Torain gets more touches? Royster is a decent flex play, but the Minnesota Vikings defense hasn't been kind to RBs; Torain is a last-ditch flex option as well for the even more desperate.
