Freeman rushed 27 times for 153 yards and a touchdown, while also catching 7-of-8 targets for 44 yards in Sunday's overtime victory over the Redskins.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman's rushing score came moments after having what looked like a go-ahead touchdown reception overturned on replay. The second-year running back out-touched Tevin Coleman 34-2 in this one, proving that Atlanta's backfield gig is now completely his following a seven-touchdown outburst over the past three weeks. Freeman's combination of ability and role makes him one of the most appealing fantasy options out there right now regardless of format.

Freeman picked up 68 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries, and added five receptions for 81 yards on six targets Sunday against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman's workload was curbed due to Atlanta's comfortable lead, but his efficiency near the goal line saw the second-year man put up his second straight monster fantasy performance. The 23-year-old's receiving chops allow him to pile up yardage even when he doesn't find running room, and his six rushing touchdowns in the past two weeks have propelled him into elite running back territory. All signs point to Freeman and the red-hot Falcons continuing their dominance at home against the Redskins next week.

Freeman (toe) is listed as active Sunday versus the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman will have access to all RB reps for the second consecutive contest due to Tevin Coleman's (rib) continued absence. A repeat performance of Week 3 (30 carries for 141 yards, five catches for 52 yards, and three rushing touchdowns) may be out of the question, though, against a Houston defense that has surrendered only 3.6 YPC and two touchdowns to running backs this season.

Freeman (toe) is probable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman returned to a full practice Friday, after logging limited session Wednesday and Thursday. With Tevin Coleman (ribs) ruled out, Freeman figures to dominate the snaps and touches for a second straight week, coming off a 141-yard, three-touchdown showing against the Cowboys.

Freeman was limited in practice Wednesday due to a toe injury, the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Tevin Coleman (ribs) out, Freeman was afforded a career-high 30 carries Sunday at Dallas, which he turned into 141 yards and three touchdowns. While he supplemented his line by hauling in all five targets for 52 yards, he didn't emerge from the game unscathed, as he's dealing with a toe concern. Coleman's absence continued Wednesday, and if it extends into Sunday's contest against the Texans, Freeman would again be entrusted with the majority of the backfield reps.

Freeman rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries and added 52 receiving yards on five catches in Sunday's win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman had a monster game as the lone man in Atlanta's backfield on Sunday. It will be interesting to see how that production is impacted by Tevin Coleman's eventual return. Coleman was named the Falcons' starter to enter the season and had 29 carries in the season's first two games as compared to Freeman's 22. What was a fairly equal distribution may evened out further. Coleman averaged just 3.9 yards per carry in his touches and so it is possible that the Falcons will increase Freeman's carries in response to his strong showing. Don't expect either back to receive a lion's share provided they are both healthy.

With Tevin Coleman (ribs) officially ruled out, Freeman is poised to lead the Atlanta backfield in Week 3 against the Cowboys, ESPN.com's Adam Schefter reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tevin Coleman could miss time beyond Sunday, so this isn't necessarily just a one-week gig. Freeman figures to get the majority of snaps and touches against a defense that's been surprisingly good so far, with undrafted rookie Terron Ward serving as the top backup.

With Tevin Coleman in line to miss time with a fractured rib, Freeman is on track to head the Falcons' backfield Sunday against the Cowboys, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While coach Dan Quinn didn't put a time-frame on the length of Coleman's absence, ESPN's Adam Schefter relays that the running back is expected to miss "a couple of weeks." Assuming that holds true, Freeman will be in line to see a boost in carries in the meantime, with undrafted rookie Terron Ward behind him on the Falcons' posted RB depth chart.

Freeman rushed a career-high 12 times for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's game against the Giants. He also grabbed four of his eight targets for 34 yards in the 24-20 win.

EDGE Analysis

Starting running back Tevin Coleman went down with a rib injury in this one, leaving Freeman as the main man in the Atlanta backfield. The Falcons turned to the passing game a bit more after Coleman went out, but Freeman was still trusted to plow into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown with just over a minute remaining in the game. It remains to be seen how long Coleman might be out, but Freeman will be the biggest beneficiary of any extra touches among Falcons running backs. Next up is a Week 3 trip to Dallas.

Freeman took over as Atlanta's lead back after Tevin Coleman (ribs) left Sunday's game against the Giants, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman only gained 25 yards on 12 carries and 34 yards on four receptions (eight targets), but he did score a game-winning two-yard touchdown inside of the two-minute warning. Tevin Coleman (ribs) was carted off in the second quarter and never returned, finishing with 32 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. Terron Ward, the No. 3 running back, had just one catch on one target and didn't get any carries. If Coleman misses Week 3 against the Cowboys, Freeman may operate as a three-down workhorse.
