Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III participated in practice for a second straight day on Thursday, making it more likely that he will play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
Robert Griffin III again participating in Redskins practice, fantasy value rising for Week 15
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III (knee) participated in practice on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Griffin suffered a sprained knee late in last weekend's overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens but said on Wednesday that planting his feet and throwing were not a problem. The Redskins have not said if Griffin will play on Sunday and will likely wait as long as possible before announcing a decision. Kirk Cousins would start if Griffin is inactive.
Fantasy Impact: All signs are pointing toward Griffin playing but fantasy owners will have to wait in case there are setbacks or a change of heart by the Redskins. Griffin sounded optimistic on Wednesday about his chances of playing and there is no reason to think he won’t at this point.
If active, Griffin is a No. 1 fantasy quarterback for Week 15.
