Q: How well will the Falcons run the ball?
A: Not very well. Week One's rushing star, Michael Turner, had 42 yards and 14 carries and a reception for six more. He hurt an ankle, but even his back-up, Jerious Norwood, managed just 18 yards on six carries and another eight on a reception.
Whether the Falcons would have been more effective if the team had a lead is hard to determine given the team may not have too many unless rookie QB Matt Ryan can be more effective than the 13 for 33 he produced. Until then, I won't be surprised to see the Falcons' running game struggle all season long.
Fantasy Player To Watch: RB Warrick Dunn. He continues to defy Father Time. Without a clearcut #2 wide receiver, Dunn could see 3-5 pass receptions per week to go with his 10 carries. In that case, he could be good for 10 points in PPR formats for the desparate fantasy owner.
