Falcons RB Devonta Freeman back at practice

Falcons rookie running back Devonta Freeman left the field with an undisclosed injury on Monday. He was back at practice on Tuesday.

“Devonta is fine,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said after practice. “Devonta was just dehydrated from practice and we wanted to be very precautionary, take him off the field. We got him rehydrated and he’s ready to go.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Big relief for the Falcons, especially with Steven Jackson still sidelined. Jackson should be ready for the start of the season but it looks like Freeman could at least be an insurance policy if injuries again creep up on Jackson. Freeman's been a popular late-round draft selection.

Falcons RB Antone Smith getting noticed

RB Antone Smith, best known for his special teams play in his first five seasons with the Falcons, finally has a chance to show he deserves playing time at running back.

As starter Steven Jackson continues to miss time with a left hamstring injury, Smith showed impressive big-play potential in the Falcons' 16-10 win over Miami on Friday night.
Smith's 35-yard gain after a short catch and 76-yard touchdown run were negated by penalties, but the big plays will be remembered by coach Mike Smith.

The opportunity at running back may continue to grow. Rookie fourth-round pick Devonta Freeman left Monday's practice with an injury.

If Jackson and Freeman can't play in Saturday's preseason game at Houston, Antone Smith and Jacquizz Rodgers could be featured.

Fantasy Impact: 

The injuries are starting to pile up at RB. Although Freeman's injury is unknown at this time, it isn't believed to be serious. Smith has a chance to shine as Rodgers hasn't seemed to step up when given the chance.

Falcons rookie running back Devonta Freeman left the field with an undisclosed injury and did not return to practice on Monday.

“I don’t know exactly what happened,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “He left the field and was not able to come back out. I don’t think it’s anything serious. But we’ll know a little more in the next hour or two.”

Freeman, a fourth-round draft pick, accounted for 107 total yards on 11 touches in the exhibition opener against Miami. He rushed for 50 yards on 10 carries and caught a pass for 57 yards.

Fantasy Impact: 

The Falcons are already hurting at the running back position. Steven Jackson, who’s listed No. 1 on the depth chart, has been out with a left hamstring injury.
With Jackson out and Freeman possibly slowed, Jacquizz Rodgers, Antone Smith, Josh Vaughan and Jerome Smith are the remaining healthy running backs on the roster.

Falcons HC Mike Smith liked how quarterback Matt Ryan and the first-team offense marched down the field on a 15-play, 77-yard drive on the Falcons' first possession, ending with Jacquizz Rodgers' 2-yard touchdown run.

"Like the way our first-team offense came back and answered the opening drive that the Dolphins were able to put together," Smith said. "I believe it was maybe 15 official plays, maybe 18 snaps. A nine-minute drive that ended in a touchdown."

Fantasy Impact: 

Rookie RB Devonta Freeman, a popular draft target with Steven Jackson injured, carried 10 times for 50 yards and added a 57-yard reception. He continues to run third on the team's depth chart, however, due to a slow start in camp.
