WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Chicago Bears

As expected, Chris Thompson is doing pretty much everything through the passing game. On the season, he's run the ball five times for only 13 yards. But he's been effective as a receiver, catching 12 passes for 116 yards. He led the team in targets in Week 1 (10) and was second on the team in targets in Week 2 (8). He's clearly a part of the passing attack, but he's not quite producing enough to make him great. He's not much more than a lower-end RB3 in PPR formats.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Dallas Cowboys

It's hard to know whether Chris Thompson was involved more in the offense last week because that's Washington's gameplan, or if the team just didn't have any other backs they trusted. Either way, Thompson did what Thompson does and caught seven of his 10 targets for 68 yards. With Adrian Peterson expected to be active this week, we can probably expect the same role for Thompson as a passing option out of the backfield, but perhaps with fewer targets. He should be viewed as an RB3 option.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Philadelphia Eagles

Chris Thompson has averaged 3.3 receptions and 27.8 receiving yards per game over the last four seasons. He's had stretches of really great play, but injuries have hindered some of his seasons. Thompson may not see a lot of action with Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson in front of him on the depth chart. Thompson offers low-end RB3 value in PPR formats, and little value in standard in a decent matchup against the Eagles.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Chris Thompson has been a PPR favorite over the past few years. He had a strong season in 2018, finishing with 804 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns despite playing just 10 games. He’s averaged 3.3 receptions per game over the last four seasons, which would come out to 52 receptions over the course of the year.

Fantasy Downside
Thompson has had injury issues, missing 12 games over the past two seasons and limiting him in other games. He’s also a bit buried on the depth chart heading into 2019 as Derrius Guice returns, and so does Adrian Peterson. Washington even brought in Bryce Love with its fourth-round draft pick to complicate things a little more.

2019 Bottom Line
This backfield is a little too crowded to fully trust Thompson in fantasy. He’ll most likely lead all Washington backs in receptions, but his rushing attempts will be slim. He could see extra work as a receiver as the Redskins don’t have a strong receiving corps. Thompson has a lot more value in PPR formats, but even then he’s not much more than a potential late-round flier as a low-end RB3.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Here are the point totals for the Washington offense over the past four games: 13, 16, 16 and 16. With a home match-up, Vegas is being "generous" this week with an implied team total of 17.75 points. With a fourth-string quarterback at the helm, this is not an offense to rely on for fantasy production in Week 17. This is a team that's just trying to stay competitive via its defense and special teams.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Tennessee Titans (Saturday)

Washington has scored less than 17 points in three consecutive games. This week, the implied team total of this team is absurdly low yet again - 13.5 points. It is the lowest implied total on the slate by a point and a half. With this currently being the worst offense in the NFL on its fourth quarterback of the season, we simply have no confidence in starting any piece of this offense for fantasy in Week 16.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Jacksonville Jaguars

We're going to make this really simple for you. Washington has the lowest implied total in Week 15 at 14.5 points, a full 2.5 points lower than the next worst team. They are on their fourth quarterback. The running game has been extremely inefficient, and the starting tight end is injured now on top of previous injuries to wide receivers. There isn't a single Redskins player we feel comfortable starting in fantasy football for Week 15.
