2012 Outlook: Quality Backup

Last updated on Aug-08-2012 by Ben Standig

Following Tim Hightower's injury, Helu went from deep sleeper to electric fantasy star before his own late season ailments sidelined him. The dual threat topped 1,000 yards from scrimmage and finished with four 100-yard games, one coming as a receiver. The former Nebraska stud Is best suited as a situational option, the Shanahan's seem to understand this, which is why early training camp depth chart talk has Helu not on the starter's line. If overworked with 20+ touches, could break down, but if used appropriately, could be viable RB2. Tricky scenario, but Helu remains the one Redskins runner to own.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	4.09	Draft Countdown
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	5.07	FFToolbox.com (Ben) - Frank Gore is an obvious option and Reggie Bush's value rises in PPR, but both of those runners play in crowded backfields. Helu, not so much (yeah, let's just say I'm not a believer in Tim Hightower or ready to buy an Evan Royster jersey). After racking up points as a rookie starter last year, I expect more the same out of Helu.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	5.10	CBSSports.com - I have no idea what Shanahan is going to do, but I do know Helu is the best RB on his roster. Hopefully talent rises up here.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	5.09	FFToolbox.com (Matt) - Helu has some upside despite the smoke and mirrors game played by Mike Shanahan. Hate to leave some of these WRs on the board right now but you've got to secure your starters at RB pretty early.
