How will the Atlanta Falcons do this season?
Asked in: Atlanta D/ST, Brian Finneran, Eric Weems, Harry Douglas, Jacquizz Rodgers, Jason Snelling, Jerious Norwood, Julio Jones, Matt Bryant, Matt Ryan, Michael Turner, Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez
I'd say they go something like 9-7. Roddy White and Julio Jones will be beast. Defense is a little suspect though.
Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Atlanta Falcons
I would say Turner, just because of his track record. Run DMC has huge upside but he is not as proven. You know what you're getting with Turner.
Who is a better draft pick: Rashard Mendenhall or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Falcons
Turner is perfect for hammering in TD's on the goal line. For fantasy, he picks up a lot of points in touchdowns as opposed to raw yardage. On the other hand, he often can have those break out runs. I would put my money on Turner over Mendenhall, who is better for the yardage, any day.
Who is a better draft pick: Lesean McCoy or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons
McCoy for sure in a PPR league but in a normal one I'd have to go with Turner. He'll score more than McCoy does.
Who is a better draft pick: Michael Turner or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears
A lot of people really like Matt Forte this year - including numberFire's draft kit! - but Turner is my choice here. He's a really safe choice.
Who is a better draft pick: Michael Turner or Ray Rice?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Ray Rice, Running Backs, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens
Ray Rice is definitely more explosive and a better pass catcher. But I feel Turner is on a better, more balanced offense and gets a full work load every game. Turner is a better fantasy draft pick.
Who is a better draft pick: Michael Turner or Maurice Jones-Drew?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Maurice Jones-Drew, Running Backs, Atlanta Falcons, Jacksonville Jaguars
Who is a more exciting player: Darren McFadden or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Atlanta Falcons
Turner, he plays in a much better offense and they looove to run the ball.
Who is a more exciting player: Rashard Mendenhall or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Falcons
Both are very exciting players! I think that I'd probably give a slight edge to Rashard Mendenhall though.
Who is a more exciting player: Lesean McCoy or Michael Turner?

Who is a more exciting player: Michael Turner or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears
Forte, mostly because of his effect on the passing game. You know what you're getting from Turner every game and every down.
Who is a more exciting player: Michael Turner or Ray Rice?

Who should I start as my RB2 Turner @CHI or Blount vs. DET?
Asked in: Running Backs, Michael Turner, LeGarrette Blount
I'd go Turner. Atlanta has more weapons so they'll likely be able to move the ball consistently. It would give Turner more scoring chances. Detroit's D-Line is pretty good and TB doesn't have all the options the Falcons do, so they might only walk away with a pair of TD's.
Michael Turner or Jahvid Best
Asked in: Tampa Bay D/ST, Chicago D/ST, Jahvid Best, Michael Turner
I'm starting Best in a PPR league this week. His injury issues scare me though. If I had to choose between the two in a standard scoring league this week I think I would lean towards Turner. Atlanta has a ton of weapons so CHI will not be able to key on him. Tough call though.
What's up the Falcons? Was it a fluke, or the sign of something worse?
Asked in: Matt Ryan, Michael Turner, Roddy White, Atlanta Falcons
I am a little worried but they were never the best road team in the first place. their passion and skill only really shows up at home!! plus Ryan has played at Chicago. So I believe Matty Ice wasn't so cold and collected
Tim Hightower, Fred Davis, Santonio Holmes for Michael Turner
Asked in: Tim Hightower, Fred Davis, Santonio Holmes, Michael Turner
Yeah, that strikes me as way too much. I don't think Hightower alone is all that far off from Turner.
Advice on Week 3 Trade Proposals
Asked in: Drew Brees, Antonio Gates, Josh Freeman, Michael Turner, LeGarrette Blount, Dwayne Bowe
I'd take Brees and Gates. Brees is so consistent and much better than Freeman. Don't take on Bowe... you can get a better offer. He's boom or bust and now that JC is out he's the person that opposing D's will game plan for.
Pick Two: M Turner, Rice, F Jackson
Asked in: Michael Turner, Ray Rice, Fred Jackson
Is there supposed to be a fourth? I'd rank these Rice, Jackson, Turner
Should I trade away Michael Turner to get Cam Newton?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Cam Newton, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers
I like that move. Cam has great upside for this year and next. It sounds like you have a similar injury issue at QB (who is the backup?), so why not go big?
Thinking of trading Turner and Marshall for Wallace and Blount ( 1 PPR league). Thoughts?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Mike Wallace, Brandon Marshall, LeGarrette Blount
I would do that. Wallace is much better than Marshall and Blount and Turner are about equal.
Rivers for Turner
Asked in: Michael Turner
Rivers is a top 5 QB, turner is not a top 5 RB, if you have an elite QB to take rivers spot then do it if not dont.
I have M. Turner, F. Jackson, P. Hillis and R. Matthews in a non-ppr league and need some help at WR. Who would you use as bait? Turner for maclin, Jackson for Nicks?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Fred Jackson, Peyton Hillis, Ryan Mathews
the 2 I would look to trade away are Mathews and Hillis. they have the much harder schedule in 2nd half of season!! and the way they are playing you should be able to get top players in return!!
Good trade?
Asked in: Ryan Fitzpatrick, DeSean Jackson, Michael Turner
i probably would not take that trade if i were the other guy. YOU however can probably replace Fitz and DJ. if he offered, take it.
Who do you think?
Asked in: Michael Turner, DeMarco Murray
I am really liking Murray. I think Atl will have to pass to keep up with NO. Brees has had good games against them in the past.
Trade
Asked in: Michael Turner, A.J. Green, Jeremy Maclin, Michael Vick, Beanie Wells
I don't know If I will like to have Green over next few weeks. they will be facing the hardest weeks of their schedule and they have not proven themselves against top teams yet!
CJ2K, Turner, Demarco Murray, McGahee. Pick 2
Asked in: Chris Johnson, DeMarco Murray, Michael Turner, Willis McGahee
Turner, Murray and McGahee at flex if you have one!! I do think No and Atl will become a shootout at some point, but Atl is a good home team and should rely heavily on turner for first half!
Should I trade Michael Turner for Frank Gore?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Frank Gore
I see no reason for this trade. You wont gain anything by it! I would rather have Gore seeing as how 49ers will always continue to run no matter what the situation the game is in!
Pick 4 Chris Johnson, Marshawn Lynch, Michael Turner, Hakeem Nicks and Stevie Johnson?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Marshawn Lynch, Michael Turner, Hakeem Nicks, Steve Johnson
If turner cant go, should i take a chance at kevin smith or go with stevie johnson?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Steve Johnson, Kevin Smith
Depends on Smith's injury status. New Orleans's defense is pretty bad, and he could have a good day, but there's the back-end risk. If it's a straight-up choice, I'd probably go with Smith. But that time delay also worries me...
Michael Turner, Ryan Matthews, Kevin Smith and DeMarco Murray need 2 RB's in non PPR
Asked in: Michael Turner
Pick 3 for a PPR League: Michael Turner, Chris Johnson, Marshawn Lynch, Kevin Smith, Toby Gerhart, Stevie Johnson.
Asked in: Michael Turner, Chris Johnson, Marshawn Lynch, Kevin Smith, Toby Gerhart, Steve Johnson
Turner, CJ2K and Lynch. Smith is hurt, Peterson is due back at any time and RB's are more consistent than any WR
I need 4 for the title in PPR: Michael Turner, Marshawn Lynch, Chris Johnson, Kevin Smith, Stevie Johnson, Hakeem Nicks, Demaryious Thomas, Greg Little.
Asked in: Michael Turner, Marshawn Lynch, Chris Johnson, Kevin Smith, Steve Johnson, Hakeem Nicks, Demaryius Thomas, Greg Little
Please help me by choosing TWO of the following (standard scoring) - Michael Turner, Shonn Greene, Willis McGahee, C.J. Spiller. Thanks!
Asked in: Michael Turner, Shonn Greene, Willis McGahee, C.J. Spiller
I think the better backs are Greene and Turner. McGahee has best match-up. Atl might be in a shoot out. hard to say. I think Turner and Greene though.
