Week 9 at Tampa Bay
Devonta Freeman rushed 11 times for only 35 yards in the Falcons Week 8 win over the Packers, but he scored two touchdowns (one rushing, one receiving), while also adding four catches for 23 yards. Freeman is reportedly playing through a hip pointer and didn't break off many explosive runs, but the two touchdowns saved fantasy owners.
Freeman will continue to be the Falcons workhorse back with Tevin Coleman sidelined with a hamstring injury. Coleman is getting closer to returning but with Atlanta playing on a short week, it's highly unlikely he'll be ready to play Thursday night in Tampa. With Freeman expected to receive the entire workload again for the Falcons, he ranks as our RB2 in PPR formats this week. He has a great matchup versus a Bucs team that ranks No. 25 against fantasy running backs this season.
