Devonta Freeman

Devonta Freeman missed Thursday's practice, but he was removed from the team's injury report ahead of their game against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Freeman was a favorite play in season-long leagues and DFS last week given his favorable matchup against the Panthers. He certainly delivered, but owners should temper expectations this week against the 49ers. Still, given the expected volume Freeman will see, the veteran running back is considered the RB26 by our expert consensus.

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman missed Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact

Devonta Freeman is expected to return to practice tomorrow, before hopefully being able to practice in full on Friday. Freeman has a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, and may see his carries limited by gamescript. With that being said, he could see an uptick in targets with number two receiver Calvin Ridley lost for the season. An RB3 with volume based RB2 upside, other options should be strongly considered if available.

Devonta Freeman was spotted on the team's sideline during the Falcons' practice session Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

It does not appear to be too serious and Freeman should still be on track to start but it is always good to keep a close eye on this situation as Sunday approaches. Freeman has had a tough season like most of the team and will be playing against a really stiff run defense in the 49ers in Week 15. San Francisco has allowed opposing backs to score the third-fewest fantasy points per game this season (11.08). It may behoove fantasy managers to seek for other options at the running back position unless they are in deeper leagues.

Falcons RB Devonta Freeman rushed 17 times for 84 yards with one touchdown and caught all four of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's Week 14 win over the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact

This was Freeman's second-most productive game amidst a disappointing season. It was also his first touchdown scored since Week 6. Freeman will try but will also have a tough time keeping it going in Week 15 at the 49ers.

Falcons RB Devonta Freeman rushed 17 times for 51 yards and caught 4-of-5 targets for 13 yards in Thursday night's Week 13 loss to the Saints.

Fantasy Impact

In his return, Freeman had a letdown of a game. While he did total 64 yards on 21 touches, he could not find the end zone, which hindered his upside. Freeman will have an outstanding chance to bounce back in a great Week 14 matchup with the Panthers.
