If you did not know his name by now just drop over on the Analysis tab and you will quickly get introduced. I have yet to find a fantasy analyst who has not recommended him as a pickup this week if he is still available. While Helu is clearly coming off a game when he was the focal point of an offense, 17 targets for 14 catches and 10 carries, he still only netted 12 fantasy points. Thanks to not being able to find the end zone and a fumble is day was solid. Of course when you get 27 potential targets we might expect a little more. The schedule coming up is not great, with the next three opponents ranking in the top 10 in holding down opposing RBs from a fantasy perspective. After that he gets the Jets, Pats and Giants so expecting the world from this guy is probably not to be expected. If he continues to get 20 touches a game he is likely a top 20 back, but with Shanahan as his coach and the team struggling to put up points (averaging 11 points a game over the last month) the praise of the fantasy world might quickly turn to boos. If I were an owner I might be looking to sell now and give the headache of the Redskins’ running back to someone else.
