Fantasy Football: 7 Quarterbacks With Favorable Early-Season Schedules

Robert Griffin III, Cleveland Browns

As if his saucy, long touchdowns passes to Terrelle Pryor weren't enough to get your loins all tingly, Robert Griffin III's early-season schedule isn't overly difficult.

We saw the Philadelphia Eagles' corners get torched repeatedly down the stretch of last season, allowing six total top-six quarterback fantasy performances, five of which came from Week 9 on. That's not indicative of how things will shake out this year now that Chip Kelly's high-paced offense is elsewhere, but pace wasn't the only issue ailing them.

The Browns then face the Ravens, who get Terrell Suggs back but still have questions in the secondary after finishing 17th against the pass last year. That's before Cleveland gets the Miami Dolphins -- one of the worst defenses in football last year -- in Week 3. If Griffin's going to return to form, we'll know right away with a schedule like this.

Griffin's rushing potential is another factor in this confuddling equation for the Browns' new signal caller. He could absolutely suck once again. But he does at least have the upside we want in a late-round selection, so it's not out of the question to give him a shot early on.
