While the role doesn't come with huge upside, it arguably makes him a safer option than either of his backfield mates in PPR formats, particularly if Kelley and Perine's battle continues into the regular season.","date":"Thu Aug 10"},"fullName":"Chris Thompson","pointsSEASON":147.5,"seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Thompson appeared in all 16 games as Washington's passing-down specialist behind Matt Jones and Rob Kelley last season. The 5-foot-8, 193-pound scat back finished top 15 at the position in targets, receptions and receiving scores. He also averaged 5.2 YPC (seventh) and scored a total of five touchdowns. Thompson's frame will always limit him to situational duties, but he's one of the best at what he does and is in an offense that has had a lot of success throwing the ball. He'll flirt with flex numbers, but should be downgraded in non-PPR.","seasonId":2017,"date":"Thu May 25"},"positionRank":28,"projectedPoints":145.697673912}
