WAS RB Rob Kelley - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Los Angeles Rams

Rob Kelley plays the Rams on the road, a Wade Phillips-led defense ranked fifth in our aFPA vs. PPR RBs. Kelley will always be a better standard league than PPR play, and his 10 carries for only 30 yards Week 1 in an easier matchup against the Eagles are a concern. If that continues, Samaje Perine could become more involved. Kelley is only a low-end FLEX consideration in standard leagues this week, and it's likely a touchdown-or-bust proposition. How lucky do you feel?

WAS RB Rob Kelley - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Rob Kelley was the No. 13 running from Week 8 on last season and beat out rookie RB Samaje Perine for early-down work, at least to start the season. Consider Kelley a FLEX option in standard leagues, where he'll always be more valuable than PPR leagues, due to the presence of pass-catching back Chris Thompson. However, if you drafted other RBs earlier than Kelley, they're likely better options for Week 1.

WAS RB Rob Kelley - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Kelley appears to have the starting early-down role for Washington, fending off rookie Samaje Perine, who has struggled with ball security and decisiveness in training camp. Last season, Kelley won the RB1 job in Week 8. From that point on, he was the RB15 in PPR leagues. The Redskins also return their entire offensive line that was a top-10 run blocking unit a year ago.

Fantasy Downside

Kelley does not add much as a pass-catcher, only hauling in 11 balls in his nine games as a starter from Weeks 9-17. His schedule will also be a bit more daunting this season, with six match-ups against last season's top-10 defenses in RB aFPA.

2017 Bottom Line

With Kelley likely starting the season as the starter in Washington, you'll have a difficult task finding a starting running back going later in drafts. His ninth-round ADP is worth a roll of the dice (even though Kelley is not overly high in our rankings), especially if you go WR heavy early or take a TE early and are looking for RBs late.

WAS RB Rob Kelley - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New York Giants
Rob Kelley rushed 19 times for 76 yards last week. After scoring a TD in his last two games, Kelley failed to score last week. But his 76 yards was the most he's totaled since Week 11 against Green Bay.

Kelley suffered a knee injury and was limited in the second half of last week's game. He is considered day-to-day, but didn't suffer any structural damage according to the MRI. He's a bit of a question mark, but is expected to play in what is a must-win against the Giants to make the playoffs. The bad news is the Giants are fourth in allowing fantasy points to RBs, but the G-men have nothing to play for in Week 17. Kelley comes in 14th on our list, making him a very solid RB2 option.

WAS RB Rob Kelley - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

It was a tough go running the ball last week for Rob Kelley. He carried nine times for 8 yards but fortunately for owners added a TD. He caught four balls for 47 yards, his best output of the season in the passing game.

Kelley has tailed off a bit since a monster three-TD performance in Week 11 against the Packers. Once again, this looks like a matchup the Skins will want to at least try to get the run game going. The Bears are 16th in allowing fantasy points to RBs and are statistically much better against the pass. Kelley comes in ranked as a higher-end RB2 this week at 15th. He hasn't really produced those kinds of numbers which makes him a risky play, but his workload is pretty safe so he should always be in consideration as a starter for your lineup.

WAS RB Rob Kelley - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Carolina
Rob Kelley ran 14 times for 63 yards last week and added a TD in a win over Philly. Kelley also caught two balls for 25 yards. It was a far cry from the 230 yards rushing the Skins put on the Birds the first time the teams met, but it was still an effective fantasy day for owners thanks to the TD. Chris Thompson also added a TD in the game.

Kelley is only averaging about 15 carries a game over the last three, as opposed to about 22 over the first three games he started after taking over for Matt Jones. This week, it's a tough matchup against Carolina, who is fourth in allowing fantasy points to RBs. Kelley comes in 18th on our list of running backs, as a middle of the road RB2 option. He should continue to get the workload, but it may be a tough game in terms of racking up yards.

WAS RB Rob Kelley - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Philadelphia
After three pretty impressive performances, Rob Kelley has hit a bit of a wall the last couple of weeks. Last week against the Cards, he carried 14 times for 63 yards, but the Skins had to play from behind in this one and didn't get to utilize Kelley as much as they would have liked. The team said it would like to see more from Kelley going forward.

They may get just that this week against the Eagles, who are 18th in allowing fantasy points to RBs. When the teams met earlier this season, Washington racked up 230 yards on the ground led by Matt Jones' 135. But Kelley carried five times for 59 yards as well in that contest, so there is certainly potential for Kelley to have a nice fantasy game. He comes in 17th on our list this week, making him a solid RB2 play.
