Summary

Running Back Rank: #48All Players: #150

Turner just keeps chugging along as the lead back for the Falcons. He had another big season last year, topping 1,300 yards while scoring 11 touchdowns. He has four straight seasons of double-digit touchdowns with the Falcons. Turner had six 100-yard games last season, playing consistent football much of the year. He had double-digit carries in every single game. Workload is a concern for Turner, though. He has 300-plus carries three of four seasons and turned 30 this offseason. You have to wonder if he can continue to produce at his current clip. Turner actually set a career high in receptions last season, catching 17 passes. He has double-digit receptions two straight seasons, getting a few more chances as a receiver. Turner runs with a lot of power but has enough speed to break a big play. He is a power back that does a good job between the tackles and moving the pile with his strength. Turner does lack a little of the speed he had earlier in his career but still has enough speed to break some big plays.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Turner is a top option in TD-only leagues because of his consistent touchdown totals. He'll likely score double-digit touchdowns once again this season. It wouldn't surprise to see his yardage numbers finally start to dwindle, though. He isn't getting any younger and has a lot of carries the last few seasons. Expect a season with around 1,100 total yards and double-digit scores, making him a top No. 2 back for fantasy teams.
