Keep an eye on Evan Royster (1 Viewer)

[Thumper]

With Roy Helu banged up and very questionable a guy to really keep an eye on is Evan Royster. He has cleary taken the backup slot from Ryan Torrain (a healthy scratch last week) and would be in line for a major role should Helu not be able to go.

I have read that Helu's status for Sunday is very up in the air at this point...If you have room and need a rb Royster may be worth a shot in the dark.

"very" questionable?

"very" questionable?

According to an ESPN report Roy Helu may be out and Evan Royster may start today vs Minnesota.http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/224492/report-evan-royster-may-start-over-roy-helu

 

[munygon2]

When will we know if Helu is out?

 

[jurrassic]

Helu just declared inactive

 

[Halvo]

anyone know anything about royster? better play at flex than than K Bell or Demaryius Thomas?

 

[Swanny]

So anybody rolling with Royster? Just picked him up and am thinking of starting him over SGreene.

Yep. Have no choice. Starting him over Burleson/J Jones in the flex.

 

[Stinkin Ref]

is it really confirmed that Royster is ahead of Torain.....I could see Shanny pulling a Shanny here....

Can you count on Royster being the man for the Skins? What is the chance that Ryan Torain gets in there?

 

[Jimboozie]

either rolling with him or sammy morris instead of lynch vs the brick wall defense.

i don't think u should always start your studs when they have a brutal matchup.

Nope and good chance. #### IT. I'm all-in.Did I mention I have VJax and Chris Johnson as well? I am going to punch the wall before I even get to the in-laws...

 

[Cheech1974]

Hate this...how much to trust that Torain is a non-factor and roll with Royster or just stick with Steven Jackson against the Steelers...

Was counting on Helu; now counting on Royster, over the likes of DeAngelo, Nate Washington, Brandon Lloyd. May god be with me.

it does feel wrong to trust shanahan again, during the most important week of the year. i must love punishment. wish i had a better option, but HATE any running rb (outside of the elite elite few) vs san fran.

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

Can he catch?

 

[Prinefan]

Royster is Helu part II. He can catch. He'll be good for 70 and a score at least. 4-5 catches for another 20.

 

[Fantasyfollow1]

In my championship game and starting him over M. Tolbert in a .5 PPR.

 

[shnikies]

Putting him in for Holmes. If I get Shanahaned in the championship it's all my fault but somebody whose name rhymes with Blanaman will pay and pay dearly.

 

[Jimboozie]

one thing going for him is that other than the st. louis game (lol rams looked like a high school football team trying to tackle that day), torain has been brutal the rest of the season and has been inactive 5 weeks in a row.

i need upside in the league i'm starting him, so i think i talked myself into liking him a bit more.

 

[dpuncher]

Washingtons run offense is like 29th in league and Minny's run d is like 10th in league. Bad matchup and Royster isn't Helu!

 

[Zow]

Currently strongly considering playing him over Peyton Hillis.

In another league I gotta choose amongst Benson, Kevin smith, Royster, and Turner. currently pencilling in Kevin smith.

Both leagues traditional scoring.

 

[munygon2]

Would you start this guy over Chris Johnson?

no

Thank ye.

 

[Louisville Slugger]

Can you trust him with Shanahan as the coach? I wouldn't be shocked to see Torain get all the carries. The guy is nuts.

 

[Kilgore]

Their run offense in like 29th, because they were counting on the likes of Hightower and Torain for most of the year. We hope that Shanny has finally come to his senses.They've also been playing from behind, because their QBs suck so bad. A lot depends on what Grossman does. Beck absolutely KILLED the value of Skins runners.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

 

[Sebowski]

I think Torrain will get some caries and Shanny will go with the hot hand. Or he'll make them ro-sham-bow for it.

 

[bmsarvis]

hey op very good call!!! curious if anybody has any insight as how he looked i drafted this gu in last years rookie draft dropped him and picked em back up a couple weeks back. what'd ya guys think stats looked great, wish i coulda seen em play tia

 

[Lavachebeadsman]

Plugged him in. Very happy. Keeping my championship hopes afloat.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Today again he has 100+ rush, 5/50+ rec to boot...what are we expecting in 2012? Anything?

 

[Sudoku_in_the_Bathtub]

I'd assume he's locked into a backup job.

You'd think so.....but then next June Skeletor will resign Ryan Torain. Season will start and Royster will somehow be given the starting gig only to be replaced by Helu, who then gets hurt and is subsequently replaced by Torain.I picked him up in one of my dynasty leagues just for the "It's Shanny, you never know" factor....but I honestly don't know what to expect. As you tagged, you never know with Skeletor.
