WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Dallas Cowboys

Chris Thompson finished with 52 scrimmage yards last week as he continues his mostly pass-catching role in Washington's offense. He could have a decent game this week as he faces a Cowboys defense that's allowed the fourth-most receptions to running backs this season. He finished 5-48 as a receiver against Dallas earlier in the year. This week, he should be viewed as a decent flex option in PPR formats, and mostly avoidable in standard leagues.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. New York Giants

Chris Thompson had no rushing attempts last week, and had a minimal impact as a receiver, catching just two passes for 26 yards. He's had value at times this season, but there should be more reliable options available in Week 16.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Chris Thompson had a big role last week, playing 40% of the offensive snaps. He did nothing as a rusher, but he caught seven of eight targets for 43 yards. Expect a similar role for him moving forward as he should continue to be a reliable receiver out of the backfield. Still, he's only valuable in full PPR formats and even then he's very risky. He's not a strong option in Week 15.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Green Bay Packers

Chris Thompson played a lot last week, finishing with 23 offensive snaps (Adrian Peterson had 23 and Derrius Guice had 19), but didn't contribute a whole bunch. While Peterson and Guice ran wild for 228 yards and three touchdowns, Thompson had just four touches (one reception). Thompson will have PPR value if the Redskins get down by a lot and need to throw, but it's nearly impossible to predict game plans ahead of time. For now, it'd be smart to avoid Thompson in fantasy.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Miami Dolphins

Chris Thompson didn't do a whole lot last week, but that's because no running back does a whole lot against the Patriots. He should be able to bounce back in Week 6 against the Dolphins, who are allowing the most fantasy points to opposing running backs. However, Miami has allowed the third-fewest receptions to running backs, and Thompson is primarily used as a receiver rather than an actual runner. But we wouldn't worry too much about that. Expect Thompson to have a slightly better game than he's had for most of the season. He's a solid flex play in PPR formats.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. New England Patriots

Chris Thompson has been Washington's most valuable running back in fantasy. He's not doing much on the ground, but he led all Washington receivers in receptions (4) and receiving yards (56) in Week 4. He actually leads the team in receptions (20) on the season as well, and is just six yards shy from leading the team in receiving yards on the year. His value mostly comes in PPR formats as he has no touchdowns on the year. He'll remain a flex play in PPR this week against the Patriots who have allowed the 10th-most receiving yards to running backs in 2019.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at New York Giants

Chris Thompson has been Washington's most productive back in fantasy despite having just 13 carries through three games. Thompson has emerged as a strong receiving threat out of the backfield as he's tied for the team lead in receptions (16) and second on the team in targets (23) and receiving yards (195). He hasn't scored a touchdown yet, but he hasn't needed to. He's scored double-digit points in PPR formats every week this season. And with a strong matchup against the Giants, Thompson should continue to play well. We like him as a low-end RB2 or strong flex play in Week 4.
