Chris Thompson signs with Jaguars

[DMD]

Reunites with Jay Gruden who is now the JAC OC. So maybe Leonard Fournette won't catch another 76 passes this year. Thompson was good for around 40 to 50 catches with Gruden in WAS during healthy years.

Could be a sneaky PPR RB if he can stay healthy.

I agree, I've always been a big Thompson fan. He's certainly worth a late round flyer.

IF he can stay healthy...how many games has he missed the last, at least, 2 seasons?

He's missed a ton of games. But when healthy he's a PPR machine.

Only 1 16-game season in his 7 years in the NFL. Seems guaranteed to miss games.

Laviska Shenault and his RB-sized frame can also be a PPR machine when healthy

I'm not talking a starter. He's a good deep bench player in PPR. If he's your starter you've already lost.

Agreed on the "deep" part...

 

In some ways, Chris Thompson is like the Will Fuller of running backs: when he's healthy, Thompson can put up 100+ yards & 2 TDs, but he is just as likely to start a game healthy and leave because of an injury. Every time you plug him in, it's a risk.

That is the perfect comparison! He really is.
