Player Notes
August 22, 2008
Jerious Norwood showed some of his explosiveness in his team's victory over the Titans, rushing just four times, but accumulating 53 yards.

Our View:Norwood will be the backup to Michael Turner, but should see his fair share of carries as well. If he continues to perform like this, how can the Falcons ignore him?
August 6, 2008
While the addition of Michael Turner has most fantasy owners looking at the former Charger as the rusher of choice in Atlanta, reports from camp indicate new coach Mike Smith is looking to give more opportunity to Jerious Norwood , according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Our View:Norwood has averaged 6.2 yards per carry but has just 202 combined carries over the past two years. However, the Falcons gave Michael Turner $35 million earlier this offseason to be the primary back, but with the addition of rookie quarterback Matt Ryan and his potential rise to the starting job, the Falcons want to be prepared by offering both rushers in various packages seeking to take focus off the pass. We will see if it comes true as fantasy owners have yearned for Norwood to get more carries. He clearly has the game to play. Now the Falcons may final give him that opportunity.

The Falcons are giving rusher Jerious Norwood a look as a potential target of choice on punt returns, according to AtlantaFalcons.com.

Our View:Adam Jennings is the man listed at the top of the special teams depth chart for this job but he has little value in other capacities and seems to be resting on the bubble for a roster spot. Getting Norwood in that role would allow them to make such a move without missing a beat.

Jerious Norwood hasn't seen enough touches the past few years, and as a result the Falcons are considering splitting him out wide at the receiver position, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. "He's a guy that can cause all kinds of problems for defensive coordinators," said Falcons coach Mike Smith. "Not strictly because of his speed but because of the potential matchup problems he can create. Jerious is a special athlete that can do a number of different things."

Our View:Norwood possesses blazing speed and the key is to just get him the ball and watch him go. We are all for this idea, though it remains to be seen just how often he will be deployed in this manner once the games start.

Jerious Norwood returned to action Sunday after missing last week's game with an ankle injury, but he received his fewest touches of the season, carrying the ball two times for four yards. He added two receptions for 10 yards. Given that he's yet to receive double-digit carries this year, Norwood has been hard-pressed to produce any fantasy value.
