I guess they are banking on Helu getting the touches/looks this week but after that it could be choice or Torain depending on Shannahan's mood
Yes, but I think the poster's point is how can you sayou you do not like someone this week if you have them ranked in the top 20, it contradicts itself.
Two possibilities: either he has, what they feel is, a good match-up this particular week or they just think all of the RB listed below Helu are worse than him. I did not listen to the podcast but did they say they don't trust him for this week, or overall; if the sentiment is overall than I can agree. I still have Torain stinking up my bench after I was so clever and managed to pluck him off the WW in all my leagues; very frustrating. If Helu is as up-and-down as Torain he'll cost you as many games as he will help you; that is where I think Bloom and others are leaning. Do you see Helu as so much better than Torain that he corrects the Redskins running problems of the past month?
I don't love Helu in any week because it's hard to predict garbage time. Helu had 14 receptions last week so off of that performance, I think he's a decent RB2 or flex start in PPR leagues. Torain, I don't think you can start him, even if you're desperate. I would start guys like Kendall Hunter in SF and Maurice Morris in Detroit before I'd start him. He's put up absolutely nothing since his breakout game in St. Louis, a team that allowed D. Murray 250 plus yards, so outside of that surprise performance Torain has been a bum. Add T. Choice into this mix, Torain is droppable in most formats as far as I'm concerned. He's not used in the passing game whatsoever and the Redskins are always behind, he's a terrible start.I don't think anyone corrects the Redskins running problems because it's not just on the RB's, they have other problems that are causing the running game to be horrible. They need a QB who can throw and some receivers who can stretch the field. They have nothing, which is what you'll get from Torain.
I couldn't agree you more and with the Redskin's offensive problems; I think that even F. Davis output is effected enough to make him a risky start. Torain remains on my bench because M. Bush and D. Moore blew up and makes the need for me to use my last move (to replace Austin) not as expedient. In my other league I did miss out on dropping Torain for D. Moore this week because I didn't do my due diligence
.Dont focus that irritation at Helu though. Shanny and the Redskins, sure.Helu could still pay big dividends (considering his negligible price) for some teams.
