Chris Thompson (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues

OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Matt Jones' lost fumble turned into Chris Thompson's repeated gains. Jones fumbled straight into the end zone on a goal-line opportunity and only saw 10 carries on the day as a result. Thompson then saw a jump in carries, turning 12 runs into 73 yards. His main asset is his pass-catching ability, which makes him valuable in PPR leagues. He caught seven passes for 40 yards this game and will continue to maintain the third-down role regardless. He isn't a high-end prospect, having played as a backup for the last three seasons. Still, Thompson has a strong 5.4 Y/A for his career and could parlay this opportunity into some value for deep league PPR owners.
