With starter Alfred Morris averaging 17.5 carries per game, backup running back Roy Helu isn't a big-time contributor in Fantasy. But he has a clear enough role in the Redskins offense to give him some value in PPR leagues.
He caught four passes for 61 yards Week 13 at Indianapolis, scoring a touchdown on a 21-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter. It was the second time in three games that he scored a touchdown and the third time in four games that he had at least four catches.
Helu's 38 catches tie him with Ahmad Bradshaw for seventh among running backs, and obviously, he'll be passing Bradshaw before season's end. His 436 receiving yards are also third among running backs, but of course, that averages out to just 36.3 per game and has been fairly evenly distributed over his 12 games. Week 13 was just the second time he topped 60 yards through the air.
In other words, if you don't get points for the receptions themselves, Helu isn't productive enough to matter in 12-team leagues, but if you do, he's at least a usable player.
