Promising signs from Griffin III against Browns
by Scott Ellinwood | Tue, Aug 19th 1:08pm EDT
Redskins QB Robert Griffin III was six of eight for 112 yards and an interception against Cleveland on Monday night. He also rushed four times for 24 yards. The performance highlighted some real progress from the Redskins signal caller but also showed areas where work remains. Griffin III displayed an improved pocket presence, trusting in the offensive line to deliver strikes downfield - an important development. However, he also showed poor footwork on his interception, throwing the ball off his back foot. Additionally, RG3 must learn to slide properly and show better judgement when able to duck out of bounds.
Fantasy Impact:
With RG3 learning a new offense and adjusting to new teammates, some hiccups are to be expected. His next outing, Saturday night in Baltimore, will be key in measuring his progress. Owners should be encouraged by his performance Monday night and regard RG3 as a low-end QB1 with excellent dynasty value.
