RG3 to enter camp as clear-cut starter     -- Sun May 6 7:40 pm --

No. 2 overall pick will receive full complement of reps
No sense fooling around with a talent like Robert Griffin III. Barely a week after the draft, the Washington Redskins are already proclaiming the Heisman Trophy winner their No. 1 quarterback. Saying that Griffin has the ability to do things no one else has done in the NFL, coach Mike Shanahan wrapped up a rookie minicamp Sunday by putting RGIII squarely atop the depth chart. "He's the starter. Period," Shanahan said. (AP)

FF Today's Take: It's hardly surprising that Griffin is being handed the job; all Shanahan is doing here is eliminating any sense of in-camp competition or "confusion" with fellow rookie Kirk Cousins or holdover Rex Grossman. With his incredible running ability and strong arm, RG3 is a great bet for high-end fantasy QB2 value right away.
