![]() The former Baylor Bear set a rookie record with a 102.4 passer rating, throwing just 5 interceptions and using his speed from his track days to rip off 815 yards rushing. Freshly voted as a captain by his teammates (very rare during a season even rarer for a rookie) he came out of the bye week on a mission and took the league by storm while leading Washington to a shocking 7-game win streak to finish the season. (Unfortunately those shitty Orakpo Geico caveman ads didn’t go away too.) It was supposed to be the defense that held things together through a season of growing pains as Griffin learned the ropes in the NFL. (The team re-signed Davis to a one-year deal this offseason.) Worse, the defense was hit hard by season-ending injuries to arguably its two best players in the front seven, DE Adam Carricker and LB Brian Orakpo. RG3 had been starting to develop chemistry with talented Fred Davis, but then the tight end tore his Achilles in late October. Washington went into its Week 10 bye last season on a three-game losing streak with a 3-6 record and a banged-up roster. They’re probably okay with that.Īfter all, Redskins rookie QB Robert Griffin III did lead his team out of the depths of despair to the NFC East title. Louis as one of many the Rams received for last year’s second overall pick, and with it the ’Skins took some guy named RG3. Sure, Washington has to sit out Round 1 while they have multiple needs, but they gave the pick to St. LIKE us on facebook follow us on #23-The Redskins I would rather have a high upside gamble like Pryor as my backup QB then a solid (boring) option like Dalton or Flacco.We’re deep into the task of opening the doors on TFQ’s NFL Draft Advent Calendar! This is our Christmas – when NFL teams get to decide what sort of new toys they get under the tree to play with next season. The combo of his running ability and garbage time passing stats could result in some fantasy outputs in the mid-20s. If the Raiders are as bad as I think they are, Pryor will be playing from behind most of the time and facing stat-friendly prevent defenses in garbage time. Playing behind the Raiders beat up OL, Pryor will be forced to run a lot and 50-60 rushing yards a game is feasible. ![]() He is on par athletically with Kaepernick & Wilson, and can provide the same type of run/pass mix that makes the former two so valuable in fantasy. ![]() I’m glad he’s not the QB for the Bears, but he did show some definite fantasy potential. Tyrelle Pryor QB (9%): This is a long shot, but both times I’ve seen Pryor play he showed flashes of competence. The Raiders are going to be down big often and garbage time stats are just as good for fantasy purposes. Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but reports from Raiders camp have Streater pegged as Pryor’s go-to target. Rod Streater WR (7%): Streater is the best of the worst group of WRs in the league. Fleener excelled playing in Hamilton’s system at Stanford and I expect Hamilton to utilize Fleener more effectively this year in what could be his breakout season. I expect their roles to be reversed this year since Bruce Arians and his downfield passing attack have been replaced by former Stanford OC, Pep Hamilton, and his west coast passing attack. Fleener is probable for week 1 but so is fellow 2 nd year TE Dwayne Allen, who almost doubled Fleener’s production last year. Sanu could end up catching 60-70 passes as noodle armed Andy Dalton’s safety valve and scoring 8-10 TDs.Ĭoby Fleener TE (15%): Fleener was a trendy pick last year based on his high draft status (34 th overall) and his rapport with college teammate Andrew Luck, but he was a disappointment as a rookie (26/281/2) and preseason injuries (concussion, knee) have kept him from generating any post-hype buzz. He might be the slowest starting WR in the NFL, but he has great hands, good size (6’2, 210), and was establishing himself as a red zone threat before his injury last year (4 TDs in last 3 games). Mohamed Sanu WR (15%): With defenses focusing on AJ Green, Sanu is going to see a lot of single coverage this year. If he gets 15+ in week 1, your going wish you had stashed him on your roster. There are going to be enough carries for Brown to possibly justify a flex role on your squad. He’s never been a workhorse back and was hurt most of last year. Starter LeSean McCoy has never averaged more than 18 carries a game in a season. Bryce Brown RB (48%): Chip Kelly likes to run the football, at Oregon last year his Ducks ran the ball an average of just over 52 times per game! I’m sure the NFL version of the offense will be different, but I doubt he is going to drastically change his run heavy philosophy.
