QB Robert Griffin III signs with Redskins

Jul 18, 2012

The Washington Redskins on Wednesday signed rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, the team announced.

The Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor was the second pick in this year's draft.

Griffin announced the news on Twitter: "Well people....It's Time to go to Work!!! Off the unemployment line and oh yea HTTR!!!"

The initials stand for "Hail To The Redskins," the team's fight song.

Griffin's four-year contract is worth $21.1 million and is fully guaranteed, with no offset language, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact:

We have Griffin ranked 13th at QB, which equates to a high-end backup right now. His ADP is the ninth round, but chances are someone is going to reach for him in hopes he's the next Cam Newton. He certainly has the potential to be a QB1 as the season goes on, but he should really be targeted by those who draft low-end QB1s who are unsure of their status, or if you're looking to form a committee QB situation for your fantasy team.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
