2020 Rush/Rec Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
The story remained the same for Thompson last season. He was dangerous as a receiver out of the backfield when he was healthy, but staying in the lineup was a problem. The 29-year-old has averaged 57 targets, 43 catches and 376 yards the last four seasons, despite missing 17 games due to various lower-body injuries, and as recently as 2017 he was among the league leaders in yards per target (9.4, tops among running backs). The injuries have taken their toll on his elusiveness, however, and his declining effectiveness on the ground is a strong sign that his role will remain limited to passing downs. A move to Jacksonville to rejoin forces with Jay Gruden could keep Thompson relevant as he looks to carve into the 100 targets Leonard Fournette had last year, but the 29-year-old's best days may be behind him even if he's healthy.

The Jaguars placed Thompson (back) on injured reserve Monday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thompson suffered a back injury during Sunday's loss to the Packers, and while the team hasn't provided injury details, he'll require at least three weeks to recover. This should open the door for Devine Ozigbo (hamstring) and Dare Ogunbowale to contribute in the passing game moving forward, but James Robinson still is the bell cow, as he's handled 86.8 percent of the running back touches this year.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Chris Thompson

It was a big week for rookies J.K. Dobbins and Jonathan Taylor, while veterans like Mark Ingram and Todd Gurley saw their roles minimized.

D'Andre Swift played more than 70 percent of snaps in Sunday's win over Washington, hinting at RB1 fantasy upside over the final two months of the season.

Jared Goff has done more for the Rams than he has for fantasy managers, but this could be the week when he finally puts it all together in terms of both volume and efficiency.

Thompson missed six games due to injuries both of the last two years, but that's where the similarities between his 2017 and 2018 end. He showed his upside early last season, piling up 221 combined yards and a receiving TD in the first two weeks, but once he returned from rib injuries late in the season, Washington's disastrous QB situation prevented him from making any kind of impact. Thompson's 4.9 YPT and 4.1 YPC were the lowest figures of his career since he established himself as a regular member of the team's backfield in 2015, and while he still flashes speed and elusiveness when he's healthy, he's played a full 16-game schedule only once. With veteran Case Keenum and first-round pick Dwayne Haskins competing for the starting quarterback job, the scatback should at least have a more stable offense around him no matter who wins the gig, but Thompson's utility will depend largely on his ability to avoid the big hits and serious injuries that keep derailing him. There isn't much room for an expanded role on early downs, as Derrius Guice is expected to be ready for Week 1 and Adrian Peterson is back for at least one more season.
