Coming off a down year, Robert Griffin III is being drafted in the seventh round according to FantasyFootballCalculator.com. And while that may be a little high - he's the 13th-ranked quarterback according to numberFire projections - he certainly has a chance to start the season off strong.

RGIII faces two of the worst overall defenses in the Texans and the Jaguars to start off the season, neither of which is expected to vastly improve into top-10 units. Then the Redskins faces the Eagles, who's pass defense wasn't so hot last year. Additionally, with the Redskins in the NFC East, Griffin III gets to face the miserable Cowboys twice, which is always a plus.
