Fantasy Impact:
Interesting. Considering that Cousins is more of a pocket passer, he would be a better fit for Jay Gruden's offense. However, he lacks the raw talent and athleticism that Griffin possesses, and the added rushing threat from Griffin will help free up the passing game and keep defenses honest. Perhaps Griffin looks like more of a boom-or-bust candidate heading into the season than we thought, but don't fret fantasy owners. If Andy Dalton could adjust to Gruden's offense and have great success, then I'm very sure Griffin will be able to get acclimated to it sooner rather than later. He's still poised to have a great year. As far as his chances for understanding the offense goes, just give it time.
