Roy Helu (RB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leauges

OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: I know that he has had some bad games in between, but I feel like I've been shouting Roy Helu's name from the mountain tops for PPR owners for most of the season now. In fact, he's so much better of a receiver than he is a rusher that pro-football-reference.com lists his receiving stats before his rushing stats.

Obviously that's not enough to convince you to pick him up. So what else has he done? Well, this Sunday Helu had four receptions for 61 yards and a TD, otherwise known as a whopping 16.6 points in PPR leagues. Still not convinced?  How about the fact that he's only had two games all season under 5.0 points in PPR formats, and that he's had eight games of 8.0 points or more in PPR formats. Or that of those eight games, he scored 12.0 points or more in half of them. I think you get the idea-- the guy is well worth owning in PPR formats.

Trust me, as a Giants fan I understand not wanting to own any Washington players. Really, I do. But at this point in the season, beggars can't be choosers. If you've made it this far and you're in a deep PPR format, you need to own Helu. It's that simple.
