Chris Thompson not 100 percent until November?

ESPN reporter John Keim is reporting that Redskins running back Chris Thompson does not expect to be 100 percent until November, as he continues to recover from his broken fibula that he suffered late last year. (John Keim on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
In the interview, Thompson talked about how tough of a time that he's had getting over the injury mentally, that he's always worried about 'what if' this player falls on it, or 'what happens' when he makes a cut. They gave him a timeline of one year until he's fully recovered, which wouldn't be until November, which means we might see more Derrius Guice in the passing-game than we initially expected. Thompson was never someone who head coach Jay Gruden wanted to give a ton of touches to, and this won't change that. Based on the situation, you should be sliding Thompson down into RB4 territory, while getting a bit more confident drafting Guice as an RB2.
