Rob Kelley works strictly with Washington's starters in exhibition
Washington Redskins running back Rob Kelley rushed 3 times for 2 yards and caught 1 pass for 5 yards in Thursday's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
Washington's first unit failed to get a first down across two possessions, so the empty stats can be ignored, but it's clear that Kelley is the leader in this backfield right now. He dominated the touches while Chris Thompson was utilized on passing downs. Rookie Samaje Perine struggled while working with Colt McCoy and the second team.
numberFire's models project Kelley to rush 163.5 times for 671.5 yards and 5.77 touchdowns this season while adding 17.6 receptions for 134.9 yards through the air, making him the 31st running back in our fantasy rankings for the year.
