Gruden: RB Chris Thompson 'not going to get' more touches

Sep 26, 2017

Chris Thompson hasn’t touched the ball all that much through the first three weeks of the season, but he’s made them count.

Thompson has gained 350 yards on 27 touches, including a 74-yard gain on a catch to help the Redskins to a 27-10 victory over the Raiders. As seems inevitable when a player is averaging just under 13 yards a touch, coach Jay Gruden was asked on Monday if he plans to give Thompson a bigger share of the offensive pie.

“He’s going to keep pushing me for them, but he’s not going to get them,” Gruden said, via ESPN.com.

Fantasy Impact:

Thompson had 14 touches against Oakland, but Kelley was out with a rib injury and Perine left the game with a knee injury. The Skins have said for years they want to keep Thompson touches in check. Gruden said Monday Kelley is still the team's number-one back but is a question mark for Week 4.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
