Fantasy Football Week 2: Top 5 buy low candidates

#4 Devonta Freeman

Freeman's numbers were terrible in his return to the Falcons.

Devonta Freeman's final numbers were underwhelming in the Vikings-Falcons clash. It was supposed to be his glorious return from missing almost the entire season in 2018. He posted eight carries for 19 yards and a fumble. It wasn't pretty. Not to mention (I'm going to mention it anyway) Ito Smith, the backup, received six carries.

Freeman is a guy that used to routinely go in the first round of fantasy drafts. The Falcons are still an explosive offense. They have a coordinator committed to using him. Ito Smith is no more of a concern than Tevin Coleman was. He isn't going to cut into Freeman's carries, because those carries weren't Freeman's anyway.

The Vikings stuffed the run early and the Falcons fell behind. They were forced to play catch up, and as we see happen every week, a team had to abandon the run due to the natural flow of the game.

Same old Freeman

Freeman has assumed his usual role in the Falcons' explosive offense. It is reasonable to conclude he will produce as he has in the past. He's only 27, the Falcons are still a great offense, and he's traditionally been a touchdown machine and a pass catcher. He's never been much of a 20 carry a game workhorse. So you may want to take advantage and make an offer.
