Robert Griffin III runs all over Vikings for huge fantasy points

Robert Griffin III scored twice on the ground in Week 6. We break down the fantasy implications.

Robert Griffin III used his legs to do most of the damage on Sunday against the Vikings. The rookie quarterback ran for 138 yards and two touchdowns, also passing for another 182 yards and a score through the air.

It didn’t look like his concussion last week was slowing him down. His 76-yard touchdown on the ground late in the fourth quarter proved how dangerous he can be.

Fantasy Impact: The Redskins didn’t appear to mind RG3 running the ball again, as he racked up 13 carries after suffering a nasty blow to the head last weekend sliding against the Falcons. He continues to be a dual-threat nightmare for every defense he faces.

If he can learn when to get out of bounds, his owners won’t have to worry about injuries. He likely learned his lesson from Sean Weatherspoon in Week 5.
