Atlanta Falcons 2010 Running Back Preview
Michael Turner
IIf not for an ankle injury that cost him the better part of six
games, Turner would have likely had a near repeat to his amazing
2008, 1,699 yard 17 touchdown season. He finished the season with
four 100 yards plus games and rolled in for ten touchdowns in the
ten full games he played.
The Falcons still have a very good, young offense and have a very
underrated offensive line. 2008 #1 Sam Baker is improving and can
still get better and the Falcons added third-round draft pick, guard
Mike Johnson, in the 2010 draft.
Turner has had a good offseason and is 100% healed from his injury
and the fact remains the is one of the best goal line backs in the
NFL. That's what a fantasy running back is all about. This should
add up to another big fantasy season for Turner.
