The Washington Redskins are playing in one of the most entertaining matchups of Week 2 as Robert Griffin III and company are visiting the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field and some fantasy players to watch include RG3, Eddie Lacy, Jermichael Finley, Jordy Nelson and Alfred Morris, while Leonard Hankerson is a top sleepers.
Last week the team had a tough test against the Philadelphia Eagles and lost, with Morris getting held to less than 50 yards after he rushed for over 1,600 last season and now the Packers have the chance to try and make the team 0-2. Both teams enter the game at 0-1 and each side is hoping that they won't be 0-2 after the game and each is division winners from last season. The Packers are coming off of a tough loss to the 49ers in Week 1 that saw San Francisco get the benefit from a referee call and the team exploited some of the weak spots on defense for Green Bay.
Aaron Rodgers passed for over 300 yards against San Francisco and had three touchdowns and James Jones was a huge bust last week and now Jordy Nelson has taken over as the top target after the game he had last week. The Redskins have some solid weapons on offense and both coaches will be looking to push the uptempo pace and Griffin likely will be much better than he was last week, as he looked tentative in his first game back since knee surgery and now has the chance to play another tough defense in the Packers.
Griffin passed for over 300 yards and had two touchdowns, but he also had two picks and did not look as explosive as usual and he should be a start for Week 2, but temper expectations, as the Packers are hard to beat at home and will be trying to rebound from the loss to the 49ers. Last season Griffin rushed for over 800 yards, but it's likely he will have less this season after his injury and Mike Shanahan will be aware of how he looks on the field.
Finley has a toe issue and is probable for the game on Sunday and he was solid last week with five catches on eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown and he could put up solid numbers against a weak LB unit. The best sleeper in the game is Leonard Hankerson after he scored two touchdowns last week and he could have a solid game after making five catches for 80 yards last week. Nelson made seven catches for 130 yards and a score last week and Eddie Lacy should have a better game as well after being stopped short last week against the 49ers.
