Summary
Devonta Freeman missed all but two games in 2018 with a groin injury, sending the previous starting line stalwart for the Falcons' offense to the sideline. Freeman was previously one of the more productive two-way running backs in the NFL. While undersized compared to the positional prototype, Freeman runs big inside and has been optimized when at his best in space for Atlanta's potent offense. Tevin Coleman departed in free agency, a notable depth chart change from 2019 as second-year back Ito Smith is penciled in as the secondary option to Freeman's starting status. Freeman's usage has waned since his more than 22 touches per game peak in 2015 to 16-17 touches per contest his past two healthy seasons. (April 13)FBG Staff Rankings

Falcons | Devonta Freeman set for big role? (Sun Aug 4, 08:15 PM) - Atlanta Falcons RB Devonta Freeman is the unquestioned No. 1 running back, according to head coach Dan Quinn, and Quinn said the backup role is still up for grabs. Our View: This is bad news for Ito Smith's stock. He has to fight to win a backup that ADP seemed to assume he would own. Fifth-round pick Qadree Ollison is probably going to be a healthy scratch and developmental back, but Brian Hill had a great finish to last year and outplayed Smith in the Hall of Fame game. He may be the better handcuff to Freeman.link to story
