Martin of The Washington Post reports.","spin":"The Redskins dabbled with an increased workload for Thompson last season due to injuries and ineffectiveness elsewhere in the backfield, only to lose him for the year due to a fractured right fibula Nov. 19. His practice reps in training camp predictably have been limited, especially after he expressed wariness in late July about cutting on his surgically repaired leg. It's unclear if he'll take the field at all during exhibition season, but once the regular campaign kicks off he'll likely get most of the snaps in obvious passing situations.","date":"Thu Aug 9"},"fullName":"Chris Thompson","pointsSEASON":151.4,"seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Thompson has finished 28th among running backs in fantasy points each of the past two seasons, though last year's finish is misleading, as Thompson was fantasy's No. 10 scoring back prior to breaking his leg. Despite missing six games, Thompson put up 510 receiving yards and caught four touchdowns, both of which ranked in the top six at the position. The 27-year-old will return to a significant receiving role in 2018, but he'll defer most of the carries and short-yardage work to Rob Kelley and/or Samaje Perine. You can also count on a dip in scoring rate, as he posted six touchdowns (2.5 OTD) last season after amassing eight (6.3 OTD) during his first four campaigns. Thompson doesn't expect to be 100 percent healthy until mid-season, so there's some risk, but he's a low-ceiling flex option who should be downgraded in non-PPR.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Fri Aug 10"},"positionRank":28,"projectedPoints":163.318796298}
