Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Just two days ago, Shanahan said Helu would be on the field going forward -- only coming off when needed breathers. ... Helu had a franchise record 14 catches – most of them on dump-off passes from John Beck -- for 105 yards and carried the ball 10 times for 41 yards in Washington’s 19-11 loss to San Francisco. Meanwhile, Ryan Torain, who had started the previous week, had one carry for two yards and a catch for seven yards. Shanahan on Monday declared rookie WR Leonard Hankerson a starter for a second straight week, but when asked whether Helu would start, the coach instead talked about how more than one running back must be ready to play. ... Meanwhile, Shanahan said he didn’t yet know whether Tashard Choice, whom the team claimed off waivers from Dallas last week, would be ready to play Sunday.
