In his second game since returning from injury, Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III couldn't get much going Sunday. He threw two interceptions and managed only 12 fantasy points as Washington lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 27-7.

Griffin completed 23-of-32 passes Sunday for 207 yards and a touchdown to go with those two interceptions. He also ran the ball six times for 41 yards. In the three games Griffin has played to completion this season, he is averaging only 11.3 fantasy points a game, with no games of more than 14.
Fantasy impact: Anyone owning Griffin needs to be doing it for the upside and not to actually use him, as Griffin hasn’t been anything resembling a helpful fantasy option this season -- his touchdown pass Sunday was only his second on the season. The positive coming out of Griffin’s performance in Week 11 is his 41 rushing yards, a season-best.
Griffin is still defensible as a roster stash in fantasy, as he can be a real weapon if he can get back to full strength. But he can’t be anywhere near a fantasy starting lineup.
