5 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman was heavily featured against the Seahawks in Week 8. He had a total of 21 touches in the game, carrying the ball 13 times for 39 yards while catching all eight of his targets for 63 yards. Although he was unable to find the end zone, fantasy owners should still be happy with the return, given the fact that the team was without star quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle). The Falcons also didn't have their No. 2 running back Ito Smith (concussion) in the game, which promoted Brian Hill to backup status on the day. Hill only saw three carries, but one of them went for a touchdown. Freeman is a solid RB2 going forward with more value in PPR leagues than non-PPR.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
