Summary

Running Back Rank: #49All Players: #151

Turner continued his downward trend last season. He failed to top 1,000-rushing yards and averaged just 3.6 yards per carry. His rushing total was his lowest since 2007 and his yards per carry was the lowest of his career. At age 31, his days of starting seem about over. The one positive from him last year was his 11 scores, giving him five straight seasons with double-digit scores. Turner runs with a lot of power but lacks the speed these days to make the big play. He is a power back that does a good job between the tackles and moving the pile with his strength. But while he scored a lot of touchdowns again last season, Turner doesn't excel in the short-yardage situations like earlier in his career.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Turner is worth a look in TD-only leagues but outside of those, we don't like his value much this season. His yardage totals should dip again. He might get 700 or so total yards and eight touchdowns if all goes well for him. Draft accordingly.
