US PRESSWIRE
Turner pounded it in from one yard out and has six carries for 21 yards and a score so far. Turner has now scored touchdowns in five consecutive games. The Falcons scored again late in the first quarter and now lead the Giants 14-0.
Fantasy Impact: Turner has seen his touches decrease in recent weeks, but has been scoring with regularity. At this point he pretty much has to score to be a fantasy difference maker, and with an early score on Sunday, he has already earned his spot in your lineup.
It’s possible Turner could find the end zone again, especially if the Falcons build up a big lead and turn to the run.
