Turner needs to shake slow start to boost Falcons’ hopes
Michael Turner has given fantasy owners a weekly boost by scoring at least one touchdown in each of his last five games, but even they have to be disappointed by his overall numbers after Turner ran for 1,699 yards and 17 touchdowns in his first season in Atlanta last year.

As far as fantasy relevance goes, Adrian Peterson and Michael Turner easily top the list, but there’s more [...]
