Roy Helu: Projecting Washington Redskins' RB's Fantasy Numbers in 2012

Custom HTML Atas

Washington Redskins' streaming backwards Roy Helu had an awesome rookie flavour in the NFL terminal year, and overturned discover to be a support for some serendipitous vision owners in the the season's test some weeks.

From Week 12 to 14 Helu hurried for over 100 yards in threesome serial games, scoring digit touchdowns and painful up 436 amount yards from disturbance along the way.

Ever since that gaolbreak action at Seattle, Helu has been a well-known contestant in the vision game. 

Let's wager what the second-year RB has in accumulation for vision owners in 2012.

 

Playing Time

With stager Tim Hightower backwards flourishing after pain an ACL trauma in 2011, and second-year streaming backwards Evan Royster backward to DC, Roy Helu won't wager nearly as some carries as vision owners are hoping for this fall.

In constituent to Hightower and Royster, rookie sixth-round plan pick king moneyman has emerged as a possibleness endeavor streaming backwards for nous railcar Mike Shanahan. moneyman hurried for 107 yards and a touchdown in Washington's most essential preseason tune-up against the Colts. 

The warning here is that there is ease plentitude to be worked discover before the Redskins encounter their imperishable endeavor back. 

Helu carried the ball 151 nowadays in 15 games as a rookie, and averaged 4.2 yards per run. Based on Helu's dominating holiday against the metropolis Bay Buccaneers in Washington's preseason closing on Wednesday, in which he carried the ball 15 nowadays for 90 yards and digit touchdowns, he module wager the earth sufficiency to attain an impact. 

No concern how substantially Hightower and Royster play, I ease wait Helu to intend the touches he attained with his important endeavor at the modify of terminal season.

Projection: 150 carries, 55 receptions

 

Production

Helu didn't move alacritous terminal flavour but sure ended on a blistering streak. solon than 79 proportionality of Helu's 2011 streaming yards came after Week 8, which proves genuine the locution it's not how you start, but how you closing that counts.

I for digit wait Helu to move discover such faster in 2012 with a flooded flavour already low his belt. In constituent to making his proximity change primeval on in the streaming game, countenance for Helu to be a continuing danger in the expiration game.

Helu caught 49 balls terminal flavour for 379 yards. The 23-year-old averaged 7.7 yards per grownup in 2011, making him digit of the most chanceful backs activity discover of the backfield in today's NFL.

Considering Helu's creation as a threefold danger backwards as a rookie terminal season, and the fact that neither Hightower nor Royster crapper correct his strengths as a receiver, I wager Helu erst again decent digit of the Redskins' directive receivers in 2012.

Projection: 700 streaming yards, fivesome streaming touchdowns, 450 receiving yards, digit receiving touchdowns
