So many factors involved: How good is Guice, the new WR corps, will Gruden run more, will Thompson get injured, will the Redskins do Redskin things? STD PTS calculated as: Rush or Receiving Yards (1 pt per 10 yds), Run or Rec TD(6), Fumbles Lost (-2). Gruden is an excellent scheme guy and Smith can execute exactly what Gruden will ask him to.i thought he looked good last year but i think the skins said they need to add to the running gameNo registered users viewing this page.it just seems like gruden is never happy with what he hasNo idea how to value him primarily because I have no idea on the value of the Redskins offense today.
I still think Thompson can be a value pick in PPR, but this is more about his ability and Washington's lack of RB strength, less about Smith dumping it off.No doubt, it is better to have a Thompson, Johnson or Riddick on your PPR roster than someone who adds nothing when you need a starter. He was a topic for his ability to be productive not only in the ground game but in the passing game as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Thompson_(running_back) Smith is way more conservative than Cousins. PPR adds 1 point per reception. If he gets injured due to his size, I think they'll just have Guice in more. Im not selling at the current value, I’ll try to sell him for a 2019 1st in sept/oct after b2b 20 point games.The big plays will be yac driven.
There are really only a handful of these guys (e.g., CMC, Thompson, Duke Johnson, Riddick), but they loom large in their respective backfields whether we like it or not.What isn't debatable is what these guys do to the fantasy value of other tantalizing fantasy assets on their team's depth chart. It's simple to assume these guys don't have big game potential because they don't even start, but they all do.Ho hum.
This video is unavailable. Using the guys you named: Duke Johnson had 7 games over 15 points last season (not to mention a 14.8 and a 14.9). "Commits" is the key word.
It’s Peterson’s backfield as long as he is healthy.The emergence of Peterson’s 2018 season and Thompson’s injury issues have made it challenging to use Thompson in fantasy on game days. He was a beast in ppr before that nasty injury and Alex smith doesn’t mind checking down to his rb. Also their defense still isn't great.By "upside" I meant to say "be more than they've been." Maybe Carter can earn a few carries, but it would take Guice flopping and a serious Thompson injury for him to be a factor. 6 of Thompson's 10 games were over 15 points, including a 25 and 30 point game. CMC had 6. "Commits" is the key word. 6 of Thompson's 10 games were over 15 points, including a 25 and 30 point game. Sure, each is capable of posting a big game occasionally, but you have to start them consistently to have a chance to catch those big games. A semi-reliable 10-15 PPG floor in PPR without much upside just doesn't get our juices flowing. Watch Queue Queue as well as weekly fantasy position rank and DFS points.
Kyle Rudolph (#80), Jimmy G. (#82) and Delanie Walker (#86) all have relatively higher ceilings at their respective positions than Thompson does at RB. Yet, he almost certainly won't be drafted inside the top 20 RBs.I can only see myself drafting Guice from this offense right now unless people get really low on Thompson and high on Guice.Agreed.
Also their defense still isn't great.10 of CMC's 16 PPR games did not exceed 15 pts. That was until the Redskins realized that Adrian Peterson can still put a team on his back.Ever since week one, Thompson hasn’t really shown that he’s worth much in fantasy.
