After a great first year with Robert Griffin III, things have not gone well for the Washington Redskins. Maybe that will change in Jay Gruden’s second season. Led by Alfred Morris, Washington has several solid fantasy football players.
Quarterback:
Robert Griffin III
Remember RGIII’s rookie year, when he finished fifth among fantasy QBs? It seems so long ago. He’s struggled staying healthy since then and just hasn’t looked like the same QB. The upside (especially on the ground) is still there, but there isn’t any reason to spend a pick on Griffin right now.
Running Back:
Alfred Morris
His yardage numbers have actually dropped each year, but Morris has still been a top 15 fantasy RB each season. He’s a safe pick and a wise RB2 selection.
Matt Jones
A third round pick, Jones is a bruiser who could vulture a few TDs from Morris.
Silas Redd
He’ll compete with Jones for backup duties.
Wide Receiver:
DeSean Jackson
Jackson is one of the best big-play threats in the NFL. However, his lack of consistency and his boom-or-bust nature limits him to being the ideal high-end flex play.
Pierre Garcon
Garcon had a down year, but better QB play could result in him bouncing back.
Andre Roberts
The third WR, Roberts didn’t catch enough passes last year to merit any real fantasy value.
Tight End:
Jordan Reed
He’s talented, but Reed has simply been unable to stay healthy. If he could just stay on the field, he could have a big season.
