Robert Griffin III Proficient In Week 3 Loss, Showing Fantasy Worth

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III put up nice numbers again in Week 3. We breakdown the fantasy implications.

Presswire

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III still played a good game in Sunday's close 38-31 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Griffin finished 21-of-34 passing for 221 yards and one touchdown through the air, while running for another 85 yards and a rushing touchdown. The rookie QB also avoided throwing any interceptions.

Fantasy Analysis: Griffin has been productive as a rookie, even being worthy of ownership in the majority of fantasy leagues. He has been an all-purpose machine and hasn’t made the kind of errors one would expect from a first-year player. For most owners, they gambled on Griffin in a late round and he’s put them in a position to trade their projected starter for help elsewhere. If Griffin can remain productive and mistake-free for another week, this wouldn’t be a bad strategy for Griffin owners.
