3 Daily Fantasy Football Players to Avoid in Week 3

Chris Thompson, RB, Washington Redskins

FanDuel Price: $5,600

DraftKings Price: $4,500

Catching a touchdown in Week 1 and then rushing for two last week -- including one for 61 yards -- Chris Thompson is now up to three touchdowns, something the touchdown-less Cincinnati Bengals are surely envious of these days. Averaging 18.9 points on FanDuel and 20.6 points on DraftKings, he's smashing his value as a punt option.

But as the pass-catching back for Washington, Thompson doesn't have the volume to rely on this kind of production. He's only averaging 3 rushing attempts and 6 targets a game, while only being on the field for 44% of the snaps. He has explosive upside, and Rob Kelley is dinged up, but coach Jay Gruden has already stated he's reluctant to increase Thompson's role much.

Thompson only has 13 touches through two games, so even projecting double-digit touches in Week 3 is a dicey proposition at best. The scores are exciting, but don't go chasing the points in tournaments on Sunday.
