The story remained the same for Thompson last season. He was dangerous as a receiver out of the backfield when he was healthy, but staying in the lineup was a problem. The 29-year-old has averaged 57 targets, 43 catches and 376 yards the last four seasons, despite missing 17 games due to various lower-body injuries, and as recently as 2017 he was among the league leaders in yards per target (9.4, tops among running backs). The injuries have taken their toll on his elusiveness, however, and his declining effectiveness on the ground is a strong sign that his role will remain limited to passing downs. A move to Jacksonville to rejoin forces with Jay Gruden could keep Thompson relevant as he looks to carve into the 100 targets Leonard Fournette had last year, but the 29-year-old's best days may be behind him even if he's healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Odd man out in Jacksonville?
Garry Smits of The Florida Times-Union reports that Thompson's future with the Jaguars is uncertain.
ANALYSIS
The Jaguars brought Thompson in last offseason to serve as a change-of-pace option, but James Robinson's emergence as a three-down back relegated the veteran to a minor depth role when he was healthy enough to play. Thompson appeared in just seven games In 2020, compiling 166 yards from scrimmage. The 30-year-old is scheduled to hit free agency in March.
