Per Pro Football Focus, Redskins RB Roy Helu graded out as the third-best RB in the league at pass-blocking.

Fantasy Impact:

Pass blocking is the main thing that the Redskins beat writers have been pointing to to make the case that Tim Hightower would start for the Redskins if healthy. PFF's number indicate that Helu is very capable in this area.

If healthy, RB Tim Hightower is the starting running back in Washington. HC Mike Shanahan just thinks he helps the most overall, as a runner, a pass-blocker and a receiver. But Hightower is coming off that ACL tear, and that could mean early-season opportunity for Roy Helu or Evan Royster.

Fantasy Impact:

Helu looked like the RB of the future for the Redskins late last year, but the team re-signed Hightower and plan to use him if his ACL rehab comes along well. He tore his ACL in late October, so he's less than a year removed from his surgery. We'll see how he progresses in camp.

Do the Redskins’ coaches favor Tim Hightower as the starting running back? We hear that might be the case, even though he is coming off a torn ACL. Durability concerns might keep Roy Helu a 10-15-snap player, and Evan Royster lacks the speed to be anything but a situational back. Even with rookie Alfred Morris (the only healthy back) impressing in minicamps, it appears to be Hightower’s starting job to lose.

Fantasy Impact:

Let the Shanahanigans begin. Hightower is less than a year removed from a torn ACL and there is already speculation that he's going to start over the very productive Roy Helu. (We're guessing that PFW meant 10-15 touch -- not 10-15 snap -- player.)
