WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys rank 23rd in our aFPA vs. RB rankings. More importantly, Thompson is getting double-digit touches since his bye week (4-5 receptions per game). His usage, especially in the red zone (Danny Woodhead-like) makes him a solid RB2 this week with a ceiling even higher than that, in a game with the highest over/under in Vegas for Week 8.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Philadelphia Eagles

Jay Gruden keeps saying he wants to limit Chris Thompson's touches, but the dynamic satellite back had 20 touches last week with Rob Kelley sidelined and rookie Samaje Perine under-performing. Perine did vulture a receiving goal-line touchdown from Thompson last week, but Thompson is the back to own in Washington. Philadelphia is a tough matchup, but Thompson's usage keeps him on the RB2 radar for Week 7.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Coming off the bye, Rob Kelley is likely out, meaning Chris Thompson and Samaje Perine will split the backfield work. When this happened in Week 3, Thompson exploded on just 14 touches. Expect another 10-15 touches this week, as Washington will still rely on Samaje Perine for traditional early-down work, but Thompson is a solid RB2 option in Week 6 against a 49ers defense ranked 29th in our aFPA vs. PPR RB rankings.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Kansas City Chiefs

The efficiency machine is our top projected Washington fantasy RB for Week 4. Thompson is averaging more than eight yards per game and has scored all three weeks. This uber-efficiency is why he's been fantasy relevant despite a 7-7-14 touch count in the first three weeks. Notice that 14 though. With Rob Kelley out, Thompson saw more touches. That could continue again even with Kelley possibly back, as Samaje Perine fumbled again last week, which is what got him in Jay Gruden's doghouse in the preseason. Thompson will again be a great FLEX option in Week 4.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Oakland Raiders

Oakland-Washington is projected to be the highest scoring game of Week 3 on Sunday night, with a total of 54.5 points. Washington is the home underdog, which could lead to negative game script and more passing for Cousins, coupled with an implied team total of 25.75 points. Thompson has been electric this season, with three touchdowns in two weeks, and now, Rob Kelley is banged up in the Washington backfield. Thompson's extreme efficiency is hard to rely on, averaging more than 20 PPR points on 6.5 touches per game, but he has a sizable role in this offense (40%+ snaps in both weeks). Consider Thompson a good FLEX option in what should be a high-scoring game, and an even better option in PPR leagues in Week 3.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Los Angeles Rams

We have Chris Thompson ranked ahead of teammate Rob Kelley in our Week 2 PPR RB rankings. Kelly only had 30 yards on 10 touches Week 1, whereas Thompson generated 56 yards and a score on 7 touches. He will need to continue to be efficient with his receptions, but if the game script turns negative on the road and/or Kelley can't rush the ball against this top-five run defense in our aFPA vs. PPR RB rankings, then Thompson could get the call. Consider him a low-end FLEX option in deeper leagues, but he's a better option than Kelley, most likely.

WAS RB Chris Thompson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Pass-catching back Chris Thompson should not be anywhere near lineups in standard leagues. What about PPR? He averaged 9.7 PPR points in two games against the Eagles last year. That's not terrible if you're looking for a bye week fill-in, but this is Week 1. You drafted much better options in all likelihood. Start them.
