Falcons' Devonta Freeman: Shreds Saints defense

Freeman finished with 152 rushing yards on 14 carries and caught five passes (on five targets) for 55 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's win over the Saints.

Analysis:

Freeman enjoyed himself against a very suspect Saints defense, ripping off a career-long rush of 48 yards during the fourth quarter to cap a big Monday night performance. In compiling 207 all-purpose yards, Freeman led the Falcons in both rushing and receiving and scored his first touchdown of the season with a 13-yard catch to start the second quarter. While it's worth noting that teammate Tevin Coleman found paydirt three times Monday, Freeman's owners should surely still be satisfied with his wildly productive, well-rounded Week 3 showing.
