BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues
Owned in 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Roy Helu remains one of the better running back handcuffs to have in fantasy football. In fact, he's become more than just a handcuff to Alfred Morris. Helu is the passing down back for the Redskins, in addition to stealing some carries from Morris. On Sunday, we saw what Helu can do with just a couple of touches, as he took a Kirk Cousins' pass 55 yards to the house. And if Morris should ever go down, Helu would immediately step into a Knile Davis type of role for Washington, and would likely be a top-15 or 20 RB on a weekly basis, especially in PPR leagues. I would look to add Helu is all leagues, especially as the BYE weeks begin to kick in. He is one of our favorite waiver wire sleepers and stashes for Week 4 and going forward, given his upside and potential if he were to ever take over as the lead running back in Washington.
