ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Divisional Round, 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Divisional Round vs. Seattle
Devonta Freeman finished as fantasy's No. 2 player in 2015, and while he didn't accomplish the same feat this season, he still had an excellent year. He was fantasy's RB6 for the regular season and finished as the No. 7 overall player while rushing for 1,079 yards and 11 touchdowns on 227 carries. He has a tough matchup on Saturday against the Seahawks, who rank as fantasy's No. 3 defense against running backs. That said, outside of Ezekiel Elliott, there is no better DFS value at the running back position this weekend than Freeman. Ranked as our RB3 for the Divisional round, Freeman is a solid fantasy option this weekend.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New Orleans
Devonta Freeman rushed 13 times for 53 yards while catching all eight of his targets for an additional 35 yards in the Falcons' Week 16 win over the Panthers. The yardage totals were disappointing for Freeman, who went off for three touchdowns against the 49ers in Week 15, but PPR owners benefited from his workload in the passing game. He continues to work in a timeshare with Tevin Coleman, but there's plenty of touches for both backs in Atlanta's high octane offense. Ranked as our RB3 for Week 17, Freeman is a legitimate RB1 against the Saints on Sunday.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Carolina
Devonta Freeman rushed for 139 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries, while catching both of his targets for 16 yards in the Falcons' Week 15 win over the 49ers. He also lost a fumble at the goal-line, but that was the only blemish on an otherwise outstanding performance. The 139-yard effort was the sixth time in his career he's hit the 100-yard barrier, and his 12 total touchdowns is tied for fifth in the NFL.

Freeman rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, while adding two receptions for an additional seven yards in the Falcons' first meeting with the Panthers in Week 4. He ranks as our RB7 for Saturday's game in Carolina and should be viewed as a RB1 for your fantasy playoffs.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. San Francisco
Devonta Freeman rushed just six times for six yards, while catching two passes for an additional 12 yards in the Falcons' Week 14 win over the Rams. It was a highly disappointing day for Freeman owners, especially when you consider Atlanta scored 42 points in the victory. Tevin Coleman out-touched and out-gained his backfield mate, scoring twice in the victory. That said, Freeman owners shouldn't overreact. There's a chance the Falcons wanted to ease off Freeman, who took the bulk of the snaps when Coleman missed multiple games in November. Assuming you survived Freeman's low output in your playoff game last week, the running back is safe to fire up on Sunday when the Falcons host the 49ers (who are dead-last against fantasy running backs this season). Freeman ranks as our RB6 in PPR formats and is safe to keep in your Week 15 starting lineup.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Los Angeles
Devonta Freeman rushed 15 times for 56 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' Week 13 loss to the Chiefs. He also added four catches for 49 additional yards in the defeat. Freeman has now scored four touchdowns since Tevin Coleman's return from a hamstring injury and remains the lead back in Atlanta's backfield. With Julio Jones (turf toe) and Mohamed Sanu (groin) banged-up, the Falcons could lean on their running game this Sunday when they visit the Rams. Ranked as our RB7 for Week 14, Freeman is a legitimate RB1 despite Los Angeles' No. 10-ranked defense against fantasy running games this season. Freeman will likely be a big part of Atlanta's game plan.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Kansas City
Devonta Freeman rushed 16 times for 60 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' Week 12 win over the Cardinals. He also added two catches for 17 yards on three targets. His two touchdowns came when the Falcons were inside the 5 yard line, which is noteworthy because Tevin Coleman returned last week from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him for nearly a month prior. Coleman will continue to receive opportunities in the Falcons' backfield committee, but Freeman remains Atlanta's No. 1 back and still sees goal-line work. Ranked as our RB10 for Week 13, view Freeman as a low-end RB1 when the Falcons host the Chiefs on Sunday. Kansas City ranks 5th against fantasy running backs this season but Freeman is a solid play thanks to his volume.

ATL RB Devonta Freeman - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Arizona
Devonta Freeman rushed 12 times for 49 yards while catching three passes for 32 additional yards in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Eagles. With Philadelphia running the ball with great success against Atlanta's defense, the Eagles were able to keep the Falcons' explosive offense on the sidelines for most of the afternoon. It could be the same story on Sunday when the Falcons host the Cardinals, who have an excellent running game thanks to David Johnson. Arizona owns the fifth-best defense versus fantasy running backs this season so view Freeman as a low-end RB1, high-end RB2 in PPR formats this week. One other thing to keep in mind in regards to Freeman's fantasy outlook this week is that Tevin Coleman is expected to return from a hamstring injury that has kept him out the past four weeks. Thus, Freeman, who ranks as our RB14 for Week 12, will go back to being the lead back in Atlanta's backfield committee.
