Raiders formally release Roy Helu

ESPN

As expected, the Oakland Raiders formally released running back Roy Helu Jr. from the injured reserve list, where he was placed on Friday.

Helu, 27, underwent surgeries on both hips this offseason after rushing for 39 yards on 17 carries and catching nine passes for 75 yards and a touchdown in nine games in his lone season with Oakland.

“We hoped to get a little more last year out of him,” head coach Jack Del Rio said. “He elected to have some things done this year in the offseason, and at this point we’re going to move forward with the team.”

Fantasy Impact:

Helu was technically placed on IR in an earlier news item we had. But at this point, he's officially released. Fifth-round draft pick DeAndre Washington has assumed backup running back duties behind Latavius Murray, and already has had some positive press as the guy who will take over the RB2 role. Undrafted rookie Jalen Richard has also impressed early in camp as the No. 3 back.

Raiders waive Roy Helu

The Raiders put running back Roy Helu on the physically unable to perform list at the start of camp because he had surgery on both hips this offseason, but it’s going to be a brief stay.

Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said Friday that the team has removed Helu from the 90-man roster entirely and replacing him with defensive tackle Derrick Lott.

Fantasy Impact:

Helu signed with the Raiders in March 2015, but he was hurt during training camp and wound up getting just 17 carries and nine receptions in nine appearances with the team. His hip problems suggested more of the same could be on tap this season and the Raiders will look elsewhere for backs to complement Latavius Murray. They have 2016 fifth-rounder DeAndre Washington, Taiwan Jones, George Atkinson and Jalen Richard on hand to compete for that role now. We had a story earlier that Washington could be the guy to win the job as the backup to Murray.
