2012 Outlook: Super Sleeper (high risk/potential)

Last updated on Aug-03-2012 by Ben Standig

Injuries provided the Penn State rookie with playing time over the final two weeks last season and Royster powered his way to consecutive 100-yard rushing games. The sneaky option in the Redskins backfield, but lack of speed suggests a limited role unless more injuries pop up. He is handcuff worthy as long as he remains at least third on the depth chart and is only a Hightower injury away from a larger role.

2012 Experts Mock Draft (June)

15.07 FFToolbox.com (Ben) - Debated taking Hightower last round more as a Helu hedge than actually thinking Timmy will be a factor. Seeing as Hightower is an injury waiting to happen and the Redskins would be wise not to overwork Helu on a weekly basis, I'll go with the next back up. Royster's final two games of 2011 might prove to be the best of his career, but you don't need a map to see how he could be a factor this season.
