I agree, I think the Saints should roll over the Redskins pretty early on in the game which limits AP and forces Smith to throw. Saints are #4 against the run this year so far. Plus we know how conservative Smith is so I'm expecting a lot of short passes/screens to Thompson.

I think these situations are what we should look for if you own "true" pass catching RBs like Chris Thompson, Hines, Dion Lewis, Theo Riddick, Buck Allen, Montgomery, Duke Johnson, etc. The only exception is James White because the Pats love this guy, so he's on another level.

Redskins have a tough schedule though so I like Thompson over AP for majority of this season.
