Why the Falcons Should Let Turner Go
Michael Turner

Michael Turner With a Huge Stiff Arm (Video)
The Falcons stomped the Jaguars 41-14 last night. Luckily I got in a last minute change to my fantasy lineup and put it the Falcons defense (20 points).

Mike Smith says he's looking to find more help for Michael Turner in the Falcons' running game.
The plan worked last week, when it was easy to rest Turner in Atlanta's lopsided 31-7 win at Indianapolis. Turner had less than half of Atlanta's 41 carries.
