7 RB options for the Falcons in free agency

The Falcons aren’t in the market for any of this year’s top free agents, meaning Titans star running back Derrick Henry is out of the question.

2019 Stats: 37 rushes, 138 yards; 42 catches, 378 yards

Analysis: Thompson in another option that won’t cost Atlanta much, but could help as a rotational back. Some know him as the fantasy sleeper that never lived up to the hype, but that was mostly due to injuries. Last season, he offered little as a runner, but caught 42 balls for the Redskins in 11 games. For his career, however, Thompson has averaged 4.8 yards per carry. If he’s fully healthy, he’s worth a look as a second or third RB.
