Chris Thompson Expected To Play In Week 13
5 years agoWashington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) is expected to play in Week 13 against the Panthers. Thompson has been out since Week 6 with turf toe. His return will throw another wrench in a backfield that has already been rotating Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson. Thompson is mostly a pass-catcher on third downs, but he nevertheless will eat into the upside for both Guice and Peterson. There wasn't much upside to begin with for those two in a weak offense led by rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins. Thompson won't be an attractive RB3/flex, even in PPR leagues, since he could have his snaps limited in his return. This backfield is a situation to avoid.
