Proving once again that Mike Shanahan hates fantasy football, Evan Royster, not Tim Hightower or Roy Helu, took the 1^st team snaps for the Redskins in Training Camp. Hightower is still recovering from the torn ACL that ended his 2011 season, while the Redskins apparently view Helu as more of a change of pace option.

However, it’s Mike Shanahan, so this is all subject to change. Hightower will be ready to go by week 1 and could supplant Royster as the starter or Helu, who had more carries than Royster last year, could flip spots with Rosyter at any time. Any one of these three backs could be their week 1 starter and he can change his mind on a weekly basis thereafter depending on the matchup without telling anyone.

Drafting any of Washington’s backs could lead to you missing half your hair by the end of the season out of frustration with the inconsistency. I’d stay away from Helu at his current ADP in the 6^th round and Hightower at his current ADP in the 11^th round, though Royster is worth the frustration as a late round pick. His ADP is currently undrafted.
