Chris Thompson A Flex Consideration For Week 2
5 years agoWashington Redskins running back Chris Thompson figures to see a lot of action in his Week 2 matchup with the Cowboys. Washington is a home underdog in a divisional matchup, which tells us a lot about how the Redskins are viewed even after almost stealing one from the Eagles to start the season. If the Redskins find themselves playing catch-up, look for Chris Thompson to be the featured back due to his role as a pass-catcher. Thompson saw the third-most targets of any running back in Week 1, and caught seven of them for 68 yards. The Redskins couldn't establish the run against Philly, and they're not poised to have more success against Dallas. Thompson is a viable flex candidate in deep PPR leagues.
