Roy Helu

Roy Helu listed as third running back on Raiders depth chart

Oakland Raiders running back Roy Helu is currently slotted as the number three running back on the depth chart behind Latavius Murray and Taiwan Jones.

What It Means:

Helu has been hampered by a hamstring injury that has limited his practice reps throughout training camp. Jones is listed as the number two running back, but he has only 27 career carries. Helu is expected to take over the backup spot once healthy.

The Raiders ranked 31st in our schedule-adjusted Rushing Net Expected Points metric last season. Our algorithms project Helu to finish the year with 151 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 19 receptions, 171 receiving yards, and 1 receiving touchdown.
