Redskins OC to spend pre-draft time with Robert Griffin III

Apr 06, 2012

Chick Hernandez of Comcast SportsNet is reporting that the Redskins’ offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan will be in Waco, Texas, the home of Baylor University and one Robert Griffin III, frequently between now and the NFL draft.

So it appears that class will be starting early for the Redskins’ presumed quarterback of the future.

The fact that Shanahan is spending time with Griffin indicates the level of confidence that the Redskins organization has that the Colts are going to take Andrew Luck with the first overall pick. Jim Irsay’s public Hamlet routine notwithstanding, if they believe that there was any chance that Indianapolis would pull a shocker and draft RG3, they would not be spending Kyle’s time and the resources to teach the offense to a possible future Colt.

Fantasy Impact:

The Redskins seem confident that RGIII will be their pick at #2, and if that comes to fruition, the time that Shanahan spends with his new QB should pay off this season.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

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.
