Turner did score a touchdown late in the fourth quarter to pad his stats a bit. He finished with just 14 yards on seven carries.
Fantasy Impact: Rodgers has been eating into Turner’s playing time over the past few weeks, and it looks like this trend will be a recurring theme going forward. The Falcons were in constant comeback mode as well, so Turner wasn’t asked to run the ball often.
The Falcons face the Giants next week. Turner’s value will be limited once again.
