Jason Snelling-RB-Atlanta Falcons

Snelling is amazingly available in many leagues even though he’s been a huge asset to the Falcons offense especially since Steven Jackson’s injury. If you need RB help, he’s a great pickup option (as discussed here).

Last week, Snelling has 111 total yards on 11 carries and four catches and found the end zone for the second week in a row. He has been a consistent part of the Falcons red zone attack which should be in for a shootout as the Patriots come to town. If your league is a PPR league, Snelling is even more valuable since he pays a big role in the Falcons passing game. New England’s rush defense has been solid, but when they have struggled it’s been more against “power” type backs like Snelling than with “speed” backs like Jacquizz Rogers.

Snelling is a great flex play with solid RB2 upside as he and the Falcons take on the Pats on Sunday Night Football.
