Michael Turner started off Week 9 looking like he would struggle throughout Sunday night's matchup with the Cowboys. He began breaking off a few big runs, though, and with the help of a 43-yard scamper, he broke 100 yards for the second time this season.

Turner carried the ball 20 times for 102 yards and a touchdown. The Falcons are still dedicated to giving him a large workload.
Fantasy Impact: Right when Twitter was ready to revolt at the sight of another Turner carry, he decides to start finding holes and making defenders miss. It’s clear he’s not the same running back as we’ve seen in recent years, but Turner is making an impact for his owners.
Next week the Falcons face the Saints' porous run defense, and you can expect Turner to see a decent amount of carries once again.
