During a post-game press conference, Redskins HC Jay Gruden left open the possibility that QB Robert Griffin III could possibly return for the team's Week 8 Monday Night Football match against Dallas. “You’d like to have your decision made as soon as possible because you have to get them ready. You throw Robert in the mix, and Robert’s got a chance to practice on Wednesday, so we’ll have to see where he is. I think it starts with him and where he is health-wise, then from there, I’ll try to make a decision after watching the tape about what I’m going to do moving forward to Dallas,†Gruden said.

Fantasy Impact
Counting on Griffin to return in a MNF scenario is risky unless you also happen to have Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy stashed on your bench. Monitor the practice and injury reports this week and be prepared to act accordingly.
