Coach Mike Smith confirmed he now likes using his running backs in a committee.
At this point, we can expect the snap count between Michael Turner and Jacquizz Rodgers to be close to even on a weekly basis. Turner's sluggish running is holding the Falcons' up-tempo scheme hostage. At this point, his only value to fantasy owners is as a goal-line back. "We feel like Jacquizz is a very viable option to carry the football and has done a nice job for us," Smith said. "It has become more of the vogue thing to do, to have a running back by committee."
even with ingram and thomas getting all the snaps in the backfield? Turner is a gamble and he was shut out against the Saints earlier this year. Moreno is at least the only back (or so it seems) for the Broncos but they play the best run defense so I guess it's a toss up between Sproles breaking a short pass for a long TD or Moreno managing a decent day with a ton of carries...thoughts?

Saints have too many RB's, Turner is having his touches cut in half or more so I would definitely start Moreno.

Moreno no doubt
