Week 4 PPR RB Rankings

It appears the running back carousel is starting to slow down in Washington. Alfred Morris has run the football well over the first three weeks and just recently the team signed Ryan Grant because of injuries to Roy Helu and Evan Royster.

Today, we findout that Helu is done for the season with turf toe and his prolonged problems with his Achilles.

For my money, Helu was the biggest threat to Morris and he was certainly painted as the top runner to select off this team before training camp began and we started to learn more about his health.

What impressed me last week was the Redskins willingness to stick with the running game after they fell behind to the Bengals early on. While the Redskins ended up losing to the Rams the week before, they had done a good job of getting off to fast starts through the first two weeks and it was easy to keep Morris active playing from ahead.

Heading down to Tampa Bay, Washington will be in a dog fight of a game but we should expect at least 75 yards on the ground and another score from Morris, even if the team falls behind.

Willis McGahee At Practice On Wednesday

Just look at Antonio Gates as an example as to why it’s important that we see a veteran in practice after a rib injury. McGahee suffered a rib injury against the Texans but the fact that he was back in practice on Wednesday is a very good sign he will play this week.

The Raiders are likely to finish at the bottom of the division but the Broncos have dropped two games in a row, and any division game is important. The veteran proved to use last year he will play through injury, and if he continues to practice I like him as a RB2 this week.
