Ito Smith is the Atlanta Falcons best option at running back

Two of Devonta Freeman’s first three years with the Atlanta Falcons, he was among the best most productive running backs in the National Football League. In both 2015 & 2016, Freeman had more than 1500 yards from the line of scrimmage, including more than 1000 yards rushing. In both those years, he was a Pro Bowl selection and secured one of the richest contracts for running backs at that point.

It is safe to say, the Falcons need to move on from Devonta Freeman at this point.

Among an awful showing today in Minnesota, it became clear that Ito Smith is the Falcons best running back.
