Start Devonta Freeman as a Favorite

On Monday Night Football, the Falcons take on the Buccaneers. The ATLiens are favored by 6 points at home. Throughout his young career, Devonta Freeman has done very well as a favorite. With the concussion for fellow running back Tevin Coleman, Freeman could be in for the lion's share of carries.


In general, when the Falcons have been favored, Freeman has averaged 14.26 half-PPR (point per reception) points per game. That's great but it gets even better when Atlanta is favored by more than a field goal.


Freeman is priced at $7,000 on FanDuel, which ranks 11th among running backs. Keep an eye on Coleman's status. Freeman is a good start either way, but he may become a must-start in all formats if Coleman were to sit.
