2008 NFL Free Agents-Michael Turner
- 2 Comment
RB Michael Turner, Atlanta Falcons
How Michael Turner will help the Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons released Warrick Dunn, and they now have a much younger backfield with the addition of Michael Turner. Although Turner has never finished a season with more than 80 carries, he has been able to rush for at least 4.5 yards per carry in every year of his career. Turner has also benefited from learning the running back position under the tutelage of LaDainian Tomlinson.
Fantasy Outlook: Turner will be considered the power back and Jerious Norwood the speed back in Atlanta’s new look backfield. However, Turner has some speed of his own, posting carries of 83, 74, and 73 yards while he was with the San Diego Chargers. Bottom line, Turner should benefit from being given more touches, which should translate into at least 200 carries and 1000 rushing yards.
