Redskins running back Roy Helu was expected to see more work in the offense heading into the Week 6 Sunday night loss at Dallas. While that did happen as Helu totaled 77 yards of offense, most of that came with the game already out of hand.
Helu has 88 yards rushing on 20 carries with one touchdown in five games. He's firmly behind Alfred Morris on the depth chart. That said, the Redskins have few other offensive weapons and Helu's speed and pass-catching ability could become coveted more and more down the line.
The Chicago Bears have struggled against the run this season. Brandon Jacobs of the Giants just scored twice against them last week and worked 22 carries into 106 yards. Chicago has allowed 100 yards a TD to a RB in two of the last three games.
Still, as far as Week 7 at home against Chicago goes, we still aren't expecting much from Helu. He's just not a central focus of Robert Griffin III and the offense at this time. He has value as a low-end flex in most Fantasy leagues but that is about it.
Roy Helu still not a recommended start
