It was always unlikely that Turner would again see over 370 carries, but certainly would exceed 300 and be one of the top producers in the league at running back – a great option on any fantasy team.

That’s easy to say in July but when it comes time to win games and Jerious Norwood is hurt again they’ll give the ball to Turner. Yes, the Falcons have more weapons on offense but we expect Matt Ryan to regress a bit this season and the run game despite best intentions for balance will still be the primary focus of the Falcons offense.
