FANTASY UPSIDE
RGIII is back healthy and should get off to a better start this year. That could be the most important story to his season. Under head coach Jay Gruden, he may get a chance to throw the ball more, and the team went out and signed DeSean Jackson to go with Pierre Garcon and an emerging star TE in Jordan Reed, so the weapons are there. Griffin is still known for accuracy and of course has the speed and rushing ability to get fantasy owners yards and TDs.
FANTASY DOWNSIDE
Many want to know just how much of RGIII’s struggles were injury related last year. He showed signs at times, but overall it was a gloomy season. Any QB with running ability, owners are going to have to worry about injuries.
BOTTOM LINE
Griffin has all the tools and now has all the weapons. By now you know if you wait on QB you’re going to have a lot of options from the 7th round on, and RGIII is one of them. His ADP of the 8th round is actually the same as Nick Foles, but Foles is ranked 4th on our list and Griffin is 11th so early on it looks like GMs are taking a shot RGIII is back this season. There are probably safer options, but if you can compliment him with someone you feel comfortable, it should put you in good shape at the position.
