The team hadn't previously revealed a timeline for his return to action, but Gruden's comments put a positive spin on his recovery and outlook to begin 2018. When healthy, Thompson should return to the primary pass-catching role out of the backfield for Washington. However, the addition of rookie running back Derrius Guice in the second round threatens to cut significantly into the workload of Thompson, Samaje Peine and Rob Kelley (ankle) this season. Thompson may be least impacted by the addition given Guice's reported struggles as a receiver, potentially affording him more playing time than his counterparts.","date":"Wed Jun 6"},"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 second-round pick Derrius Guice. 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 is a low-ceiling flex option who should be downgraded in non-PPR.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Fri May 4"},"positionRank":28,"projectedPoints":163.661665938}
