What It Means:

Thompson had his worst game of the season in Week 5 against the New England Patriots, totaling just 38 total yards on 9 touches. In Week 6 he will face a Dolphins defense rated 32nd overall by our power rankings. Negative game script is usually a given for Thompson but that might not be the case this weekend against the Dolphins. Thompson's value is driven by his work in the passing game, which may be diminished is the Redskins can control the game.

Thompson's Week 6 projection includes 24.4 rushing yards, .16 rushing touchdowns, and 4.7 receptions for 41.1 receiving yards. He is priced at $5,400.
