2012 Outlook: Sleeper (undervalued)

Last updated on Aug-03-2012 by Ben Standig

The Heisman winner, blessed with a power arm, world-class speed and movie star poise, is ticketed for stardom – just maybe not in 2012. Unlike Cam Newton, RGIII's rookie year will not be played behind a stud line or with a reliable ground game, though receiving options could surprise. His own legs should help those fantasy numbers. Training camp progression will dictate draft status, but target Griffin's upside after the clear top 12-14 passers are gone.

8.03 DraftSharks.com - It's frustrating to leave Witten on the board here, and I probably wouldn't if we could use TEs at flex. As it is, I'm looking at a bunch of guys I like similarly and no one I love. ... So I decided while typing this to grab the high-upside rookie and go after a killer best-ball QB combo. I expect Griffin to finish among the top-12 fantasy QBs. I don't expect a Newton redux. Just check what rushing numbers did for Mark Sanchez and Josh Freeman last year, and Vince Young in his rookie season. Throw in the league's most pass-heavy coach. At the least, there will be big games.

8.10 FootballGuys.com - Hard to believe that the "experts" are taking QB2s in Round 7 and 8 of a 4pt per pass league, but whatever... I will take a young QB who could run for several TDs this year, giving him Cam Newton upside.
