Week 7 - Helu vs. Tennessee
Roy Helu had five touches last week, rushing three times for 26 yards and catching two passes for 40 yards. His yards per play was impressive but five touches equates to a very risky start. Helu is only averaging just over six touches a game. He's a high upside handcuff.
Week 6 - Helu vs. Arizona
Roy Helu had two rushes for minus-one yard but added five catches for 59 yards on seven targets last week. Outside deeper PPR formats, Helu remains a fantasy risk, even with back-to-back weeks of catching five balls and producing double-digit points in PPR leagues. He's averaged seven touches the last two weeks and outside of one game that's been about his average.
Week 5 - Helu vs. Seattle
Roy Helu ran twice for eight yards but added five catches for 78 yards last week. It was by far his most productive fantasy game this season. That doesn't make him a safe play this week even though Washington could end up falling behind and playing catchup, creating more chances for Helu. Seattle is 16th in allowing fantasy points to backs but Helu should probably stay on your bench. His workload is inconsistent behind bell cow Alfred Morris.
Week 4 - Helu vs. NY Giants
Helu had just two touches last week against the Eagles but made the most of them: one was a one-yard TD run while the other was a 55-yard reception. Two targets just isn't enough to warrant putting Helu in your lineup, even in PPR leagues. Washington just doesn't seem to be giving him a lot of looks as Helu is averaging just over 5 touches a game and playing on 34% of the snaps.
Week 2 vs. Jaguars
Roy Helu ran four times for 46 yards and caught two passes for 15 yards on three targets last week. It was a pretty decent performance from someone we weren't sure was going to get the role coming into camp. Only getting six touches makes Helu a risk for typical fantasy lineups, though, even in a great matchup at home against the Jags. He's a player to keep an eye on especially if he can start to catch more passes.
Week 1 vs Texans
Roy Helu again emerged with the Skins RB2 job and should again see time on third downs and in passing situations. He ranks just 72nd on our list though so even in typical PPR leagues, Helu is a risk until we see just how HC Jay Gruden uses him.
