After scoring three touchdowns against the Bears in Week 7, backup running back Roy Helu has become an afterthought in the Redskins offense with starter Alfred Morris performing so well, getting just a handful of touches per game. He remains the team's perferred pass-catcher out of the backfield, though, which could work to his advantage if the Redskins' trip to Philadelphia in Week 11 goes like their Week 1 matchup against the Eagles, when they were down 26-7 at halftime.
Unless they get in an obvious passing situation, as happened then, they'll likely just stick with Morris, who has run for at least 90 yards in four straight games. The Eagles have fared well enough against the run -- allowing 110.5 yards per game, 14th-fewest in the NFL -- that you probably shouldn't expect big numbers for both Morris and Helu. Helu has a better chance of contributing in this game than most, but he's still no better than a desperation play in points-per-reception leagues.
