Robert Griffin III is probable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. We break down the fantasy implications.
Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III is listed as probable for Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. Griffin is dealing with an ankle injury that has forced him out of six consecutive games. He sustained the injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2, and Washington is now 3-5 on the season, fourth in the NFC East.
The probable designation is supposed to denote a 75 percent chance of playing, but it would be shocking if Griffin wasn't under center on Sunday. Head coach Jay Gruden has already said that Griffin will start barring any injury setbacks and we heard of no such setbacks from practice this week. Griffin was a full participant in said practices.
Fantasy Impact: Without Griffin, Washington has been able to put up yardage. Ranking fifth in the league, Washington throws for 289.5 passing yards per game on average, but both Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy aren't known for being especially careful with the football. Turnovers have lost them multiple games. For fantasy owners, Griffin is a huge upgrade over those two and he's going to play in this game. It's an early game if those fantasy owners want to be paranoid and wait for the inactives list, though.
