Chris Thompson (WSH, RB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues (FAAB Bid: $3 - 5)

OWNED IN: 0% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Chris Thompson is pretty clearly entrenched in the passing back role, the old Roy Helu Jr. spot for Washington. He won't see much usage in games where Washington isn't trailing, though that is up to you and how much you believe the Redskins will be playing from behind.

That is tied entirely to how you value Thompson. I strongly believe that Thompson will definitely get his opportunities throughout the year to be useful in PPR leagues. He could be your garbage time hero.

In standard leagues you should probably look elsewhere, but don't overlook Thompson if you're in deeper PPR leagues and need some RB help. He makes for a sneaky Week 4 waiver wire pickup.
