RGIII will wear knee brace in 2013

Jul 29, 2013

Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III says he will wear a brace on his surgically repaired knee for the entire 2013 season.

Griffin was asked after practice today whether he’ll protect his knee with a brace for the rest of his career, and although he said he hasn’t decided that, he has already decided to wear a brace for at least this year.

“I don’t know if I’ll wear it forever. I know I’ll wear it for the rest of the season,” Griffin said.

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously a brace is going to hinder him in some capacity, and unfortunately running is a big part of RGIII's game - which all leads to fantasy production. He's still a pretty good option when you consider his ADP is the seventh round, but it's something to think about if you're waiting on QB and thought about taking Griffin.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
