Past Fantasy Outlooks

2018
2017
2016
A third-round pick in the Giants in 2016, Thompson solidified his spot as a core special-teams player and depth option at safety with a solid performance for the Cowboys last year, recording 45 tackles, 1.5 sacks and three passes defended in 15 games.
Thompson will start alongside Landon Collins as the team's free safety. While Collins is the star of the unit, Thompson put up serviceable numbers last year with 75 total tackles, six passes defensed and one interception. However, he struggled in run support and was running with the second-team defense in offseason workouts, behind Andrew Adams.
Thompson is likely to start at free safety opposite superstar strong safety Landon Collins. It's hard to see both players racking up huge IDP totals, so Thompson's upside is likely modest.
This year's third-round pick, Thompson is the early favorite to start at free safety. There's some IDP upside here should he keep the job and see a heavy snap count.
