Nov 5 RB Michael Turner leads the team in rushing with 138 carries for 554 yards and eight touchdowns. Turner had with 100-yard games against Carolina (105) and New Orleans (151) while adding a three-touchdown performance against the 49ers. Yahoo! Sports

Nov 3 Turner had 151 yards rushing, including a 13-yard touchdown, in the Falcons' 35-27 loss in New Orleans on Monday night.

Advice: Turner has been a huge disappointment after his breakout 2008 season, but this performance is a good sign. Look for it to continue the next two weeks as Atlanta faces Carolina and Washington.

STATS LLC

Nov 2 Turner carried 20 times for 151 yards and a touchdown in Atlanta's 35-27 loss to the Saints on Monday night.

Recommendation: The Michael Turner of 2008 finally showed up as he got to the edge repeatedly against a fast New Orleans defense. Had the Falcons not been playing from behind for much of the second half, Turner could have easily piled up 200 yards in this one.
