NFL Fantasy Draft Sleepers: Robert Griffin III

We all know that Robert Griffin III (RGIII) had one of the most exciting rookie seasons in the history of the game. After starting off 3-6, the Redskins went on to win 6 straight games to finish the season 9-7. During that winning streak, RGIII  threw 12 touchdowns and just under 1,000 yards. This past season, RGIII and the Redskins underachieved expectations, finishing 3-13. For fantasy owners, RGIII is a bit of a risk. Even though he was injured most of the year, RGIII consistently played poor. In addition, if people want to ensure having a mobile solid quarterback, they can easily choose to pick Colin Kaepernick or Cam Newton. With that being said , I say that it's wise to go with RGIII as one of your quarterbacks.

1) COACHING
Throughout last season, RGIII and head coach Mike Shanahan were in disagreement with a number of issues. There were times disagreements on whether or not RGIII should play due to his knee injury, the play style of the offense, and concluding why the team was not winning. After such a dismal 2013 season, Shanahan was fired as the head coach. This off-season, the Redskins hired Jay Gruden. So far, RGII has been very pleased with Gruden and plans to make a big splash heading into his third season. To put it into simple terms: Happy RGIII = more production.

2) DESEAN JACKSON
 One thing that the Redskins lacked at times was a deeper receiving core. They have Pierre Garcon, but they didn't have a consistency from anyone else. They have a Santana Moss that is slightly past his prime , a hot/cold Lenord Hankerson, and others who are questionable. This off-season, the Redskins were able to get one of the most explosive receivers in the game: DeSean Jackson. Between Jackson and Garcon, RGIII will only have to do one thing: get them the ball, and let them do the rest.

Between a new head coach, and the addition of DeSean Jackson, RGIII will be looking to get back to his explosive ways. Look for him to be healthier, faster, and more productive with his upgrade at the receiver position.
