Roy Helu totaled seven yards on two touches in Washington's Week 14 loss to the Chiefs.

The touches were Helu's fewest since Week 2. Given sporadic playing time in Washington's increasingly-inept offense, there's little reason to keep Alfred Morris' handcuff around for the rest of the fantasy playoffs.

Roy Helu rushed for six yards on four carries in Sunday night's Week 13 loss to the Giants, adding four catches for 34 yards.

Helu saw heavy snaps in the Redskins' no-huddle offense and was used in all third down and passing situations. He got a rare goal-line carry in the first quarter, but failed to convert. Helu remains a pure handcuff in fantasy leagues. He has just 54 carries and 242 rushing yards through 12 games.

Roy Helu rushed for 26 yards on seven carries in Week 12 against the 49ers.

He added one catch for seven yards on his lone target. The seven carries were the most Helu's seen since Week 7, but he didn't do much with them. His most notable carry of the night came on a failed fourth-and-two. It was an odd play call to say the least. Helu remains a pure handcuff for Alfred Morris owners.

Roy Helu rushed three times for 39 yards and added three catches for 11 yards in Sunday's Week 11 loss at Philadelphia.

Helu broke off an explosive 24-yard run with the Redskins in all-out comeback mode, but was quiet once again otherwise. He's just not going to get any base carries with Alfred Morris playing so well. Helu has had six or fewer touches in four straight games.

Roy Helu rushed twice for eight yards in Washington's Week 8 loss to the Vikings, adding three catches for 23 yards.

Helu got a carry at the Vikings' eight-yard line, but couldn't turn it into his fourth touchdown of the season. Limited to 85 total yards since his three-score outburst in Week 6, Helu remains a pure handcuff for re-draft league purposes.

Roy Helu rushed two times for 23 yards and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's Week 9 overtime win over the Chargers.

Roy Helu rushed five times for 11 yards in Washington's Week 8 loss to the Broncos, adding one catch for 14 yards.

One week after vulturing three touchdowns, Helu got out-touched 17-6 by Alfred Morris, and out-gained 93-25. Morris scored the Redskins' lone rushing touchdown. Helu still has some appeal as an RB3/4 in PPR leagues, but is a low-end FLEX option in standard formats.

The Redskins' Week 7 gameplan called for more of the "turbo" package.

Roy Helu rushed 11 times for 41 yards with three touchdowns in Sunday's Week 7 win over the Bears.

We're not going to suggest that Helu is the Skins' new goal-line back because he's not. But they got going with the hurry-up and didn't substitute Helu out once inside the 10-yard line. The scores came from 14, 3 and 3 yards out. Helu won't have another game like this in terms of touchdowns, but he continues to earn a bigger and bigger role with impressive one-cut quickness. Over the last three games, he's averaging 12.3 touches for 69.0 yards per day. Helu will be on the deep-league flex radar against the Broncos in Week 8 because the Redskins project to be trailing. Helu is locked in as the passing-down back.

Roy Helu had six carries for 42 yards in Sunday night's Week 6 loss to the Cowboys.

Helu got the majority of yardage with the Redskins in comeback mode and was more of a factor in the passing game, adding four catches for 35 yards on six targets. He remains the preferred option on third downs and was even used as a receiver in some five-wide formations. Helu is one of the top fantasy stashes among backup running backs, but still isn't on the radar as a FLEX option in re-draft leagues.

Redskins OC Kyle Shanahan said he wants to get Roy Helu more involved on offense.

"I'd like to get Helu out there more," Shanahan said. However, the Redskins don't want Helu's increased work to come at Alfred Morris' expense. Morris is going to continue to carry a full load in the Washington backfield. Helu may get more looks on passing downs, but the best way to get him involved is to get a lead and burn clock. Helu is one of the better fantasy stashes among backup running backs. He's more than capable of carrying the load should Alf go down.

Roy Helu rushed 13 times for 41 yards and a touchdown, and caught two passes for 43 yards in Washington's Week 4 win over Oakland.

With Alfred Morris (ribs) shelved by a third-quarter injury, Helu took over as Washington's featured, every-down back. No other Redskins runner handled a carry outside of RG3. Helu ripped off physical runs in late-game clock-killing mode, including a 14-yard touchdown to put the game away. Helu has been one of our favorite bench stashes because he offers even more upside than Morris due to his passing-game role. Unfortunately for Helu owners, the Redskins have a Week 5 bye. It's unclear if Morris will be back for Week 6.

Roy Helu was held without a carry in Washington's Week 2 loss to the Packers, and caught just one pass for two yards.

That's despite the fact that the Redskins were behind all afternoon, which in theory would increase the need for their third-down back. Zero threat to starter Alfred Morris, Helu isn't worth more than a back-end bench spot in PPR leagues.

Roy Helu rushed for five yards on one carry and caught one pass for 11 yards in Washington's Week 1 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.

Helu operated as the third-down and obvious passing-down back behind Alfred Morris. He saw plenty of action in the second half when the Redskins were in comeback mode, but was mainly used to pick up blitzing linebackers. Helu has some PPR value. He won't really be on the fantasy radar unless Morris goes down.

Roy Helu was officially named the Redskins No. 2 RB Tuesday.

Finally healthy, Helu earned the job by rushing 27 times for 157 yards with one touchdown and adding two catches for 35 yards in the preseason. An explosive one-cut runner that's an ideal fit for the Redskins' zone-blocking scheme, he'll start off as a third-down back and direct handcuff for Alfred Morris. If Alf were to get injured, Helu would explode. He's a decisive cutter that bursts off his plant leg.

Roy Helu rushed for 70 yards on 13 carries in Saturday's preseason game against Buffalo.

Helu added one catch for 21 yards when he roasted Bills LB Bryan Scott on a wheel route down the left sideline. Helu's strong preseason continues to roll on, and he looks fully recovered from toe and Achilles' injuries. Through three preseason games, Helu has 27 carries for 157 yards (5.8 YPC) and one touchdown. He also has two catches for 35 yards. Alfred Morris owners, here is your handcuff. Helu also holds stand-alone value in 12-team PPR leagues.

Roy Helu has locked up the Redskins' third-down job and No. 2 back spot behind Alfred Morris.

Alfred Morris owner? Here's your handcuff. "I was real excited about Roy," said OC Kyle Shanahan. "He's looked healthy since he came back and he showed that to all you guys vs. Tennessee. Roy is a legit back. He can help us a lot." Helu caught 49 passes as a rookie, before missing all but three games due to toe problems in 2012. He could flirt with standalone value in PPR leagues.

Roy Helu rushed 13 times for 57 yards in the Redskins' preseason opener Thursday night against Tennessee.

A solid 4.38 YPC clip. Helu got the start for Alfred Morris (rest), confirming he's leading the battle to be Morris' fantasy handcuff. Helu flashed second-level speed and cutting ability on his 13 carries, and is also the favorite for third-down work in Washington. He's worth a late-round fantasy pick.

Roy Helu continues to "have the edge" for the backup job.

Per the Washington Post, Helu is being used on standard run plays, option pitches and as a receiver out of the backfield. He's finally over the toe and Achilles' tendon issues that have bothered him since late in the 2011 season. If Helu can sustain health for another month, he's going to enter the season as the Redskins' passing-down back and direct backup to Alfred Morris.

The Washington Times notes projected third-down back Roy Helu's "speed and elusiveness on the second level sets him apart" from Alfred Morris.

Helu offers considerably more straight-line speed and arguably just as much or more second-level wiggle than Washington's starter. Helu is vying to be the Skins' third-down back two seasons after racking up 49 receptions and rushing for 100 yards in three straight games late in his rookie year. Helu is the early favorite for Morris "handcuff" duties. He's worth a late-round fantasy pick.
