Devonta Freeman Feels Great
6 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) said he's comfortable to return in Week 5 against the Steelers after missing the last three games with a right knee contusion. Head coach Dan Quinn expects Freeman to be a full participant in practice all week, although Freeman was limited on Wednesday. "I'm in-tune with my body and myself, so I know when I can be me," Freeman told reporters Wednesday." Just getting back out there when I'm comfortable enough. I think right now, I'm comfortable enough to get out there. I feel good. I feel explosive. I'm ready to run." With Freeman back and healthy, he should be locked into all lineups as an RB2 in what could be a high-scoring affair. His return pushes Tevin Coleman into a change-of-pace role, while rookie Ito Smith is third on the depth chart. Coleman will be an RB3/flex option, at best, in PPR leagues.
