Washington's third-down pass-catching role obviously entails a lot of protection work as well. That gives Roy Helu an edge, despite his rough showing Thursday. Chris Thompson has been sidelined with a sprained ankle, which hasn't helped him.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story began talking about Helu under-performing in a pass-protection drill. It's something the WAS backs are all struggling with. We've had many a story about the Skins third down job and not much has changed. Helu looks to be primed for the role because Thompson can't get on the field. Helu may have some value in deeper PPR leagues but his potential seems a lot less exciting than it was before camp began.

Redskins Beat: 'Not sure' about 20-25 catches for RB Alfred Morris

The Redskins rookie running backs have some flash, but none are ready to be a third-down back. Lache Seastrunk is a fast back, but loves bouncing it outside a little too much. His hands are questionable and he needs work in protection. But that speed is dynamite. Silas Redd, an undrafted free agent, ran with power in the opener. But he, too, is not a third-down back.

So that means Roy Helu should be the third-down back for a second consecutive year. He’s not bad here at all, but they will try to groom someone, perhaps Seastrunk, for this job over the next year.

Alfred Morris is still good. There’s a big gap between Morris and the other runners. But 20-25 catches? Not sure about that one.

Fantasy Impact: 

Morris’s outlook doesn’t change too much. He still isn’t much of a player in the pass game, so his PPR value is on the low side, though he’s a fairly safe start in any format given his steady workload. We are currently projecting 20 catches for Morris, which is just over one per game.

Redskins HC Jay Gruden is right when he says that running back Chris Thompson needs to find a way to stay on the field.

Though Gruden did not draft Thompson, he apparently liked him before the 2013 draft. But the knock on Thompson is durability and if he continues to miss time, then he will be in trouble.

Running backs Lache Seastrunk and Silas Redd both have a lot to prove in the pass game, especially in protection. Seastrunk has had some rough moments in this area. But Thompson’s lack of durability opens the door for others.

Fantasy Impact: 

It also could mean Roy Helu Jr. ends up with the third down job. That was something some beat reporters were questioning even before camp. Some thought Helu would be challenged by Thompson for the job.

Washington running backs Roy Helu (knee) and Chris Thompson (ankle) did not work because of injuries that coach Jay Gruden termed mild. Both worked on a side field.
