Roy Helu’s success last week gives Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan confidence in the rookie, but it doesn’t guarantee a similar timeshare every game.

“It all depends on the flow of the game and how things are going,” Shanahan said. “I think we obviously will be more encouraged to get [Helu] in there more. But it’s just a feel with how Tim Hightower is doing, what the defense is doing and how the game goes. There’s not a lot of consistency with it. But when you have those backs and you’ve got Ryan Torain, three guys we feel are capable of being starters, you really can’t make a wrong decision.

Redskins RB Roy Helu said it took him a little bit of time to get used to being a one-cut runner and how to press the hole. He had to train his feet to do what the coaches needed him to do.

“Coming from a different scheme in college, I didn’t do that as well,” he said. “So when I got here I had to discipline myself, ‘OK, keep going there’s nothing there? Keep going.’ If there’s nothing there so be it but if something shows up, cut.”

Though Helu consistently makes defenders miss, he said he wants to do more downfield. Told him he always seemed to fall forward when tackled, partly because he’s difficult to hit straight on.

“That sounds like a compliment, but finishing better is something I need to do,” Helu said. “[I need to] accelerate my legs on contact so when I do fall forward I’m coming out of the tackle.”

Chris Russell on Twitter: BEFORE tonight's game, a well placed source told @ESPNRadio980 that the #Redskins were leaning towards Evan Royster over Ryan Torain. Royster's concussion could alter that.

Fantasy Impact: 

If the Redskins were truly considering cutting Torain, it would appear that Tim Hightower is locked in as the starter with Roy Helu as his primary backup. Draft him with confidence in the 6th (or even 5th) round.

Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan all but anointed Tim Hightower as his starting running back for the Sept. 11 season opener against the New York Giants, a result both of Hightower’s performance in the first three preseason games and the inability of Ryan Torain to play yet because of a broken bone in his hand.

"He’s done a good job," Shanahan said of Hightower on Saturday. "I’m not going to say he’s our starter, but if you were betting in Vegas, you’d probably go in that direction."

Hightower has carried 25 times for 170 yards and two touchdowns since being acquired in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals at the start of training camp.

Fantasy Impact: 

Hightower has gone from fantasy afterthought in Arizona to being on the minds of many fantasy owners as a mid-round sleeper. The downside is that Mike Shanahan changes his depth chart frequently and Roy Helu and Ryan Torain could cut into Hightower's upside, but for now, Hightower is worth a gamble on draft day.
