Summary

Running Back Rank: #67All Players: #251

Royster was inactive most weeks until late in the season but actually got some starts late in the year because of injury and took advantage. Royster had two straight 100-yard games to end his season. Royster had 404 total yards and in just six games. He could play a bigger role in the offense from day one after a strong finish to the season. Royster isn't likely to start but could be the top backup for the Redskins. Royster doesn't have a lot of burst or breakaway speed, but makes plays and moves the pile. Royster runs pretty well between the tackles and has solid vision. He isn't a flashy runner but just seems to get the job done.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

You never know with the Redskins running back situation so Royster is worth a late-round flyer. He'll likely be a boom or bust pick. We think he is worth the risk as a low-end No. 3 or No. 4 fantasy back after averaging an impressive 5.9 yards per carry. The potential is certainly there for good things if he gets consistent work.

Updating a previous report, despite being listed as the top tailback on the Week 1 depth chart released Monday, Sept. 3, RB Evan Royster is still unsure if he will be the starter against the New Orleans Saints. 'I think they're going to keep us pretty much in the dark until probably the day before the game,' Royster said.
Fantasy Impact: Not a surprise. Mike Shanahan continues to drive fantasy owners crazy.

Washington Redskins RB Evan Royster looked like the best back in the team's training camp last week, according to ESPN.com's Dan Graziano. People from the organization have given Graziano the impression that they believe Royster has a higher ceiling than RB Roy Helu, if each is healthy. They also think highly of rookie RB Alfred Morris, who isn't out of the mix, in part because health is their chief concern regarding both Royster and Helu.
