Fantasy Impact:

Thompson was retained by the Redskins Friday after the 26-year-old rusher signed his RFA tender. Thompson is coming off of a 2016 season in which he produced career-high numbers in all major statistical categories for a running back. Playing in all 16 games, Thompson received 68 carries for 356 yards and three touchdowns while putting up a 49-349-2 stat line as a receiver out of the backfield. With Rob Kelley slated as the starter for the upcoming season, Thompson will likely open the year as his primary backup.
