Devonta Freeman, Leonard Hankerson, Julio Jones' Post-Week 4 Fantasy Advice

Devonta Freeman can't stay out of the end zone.

A week after his huge 30-carry, 141-yard, three-touchdown outburst against the Dallas Cowboys, the Atlanta Falcons running back was winning matchups for fantasy owners once again, tallying three touchdowns against the Houston Texans. 

That made him the first player with three rushing touchdowns in consecutive weeks since LaDainian Tomlinson scored three touchdowns three weeks in a row in 2006, according to SportsCenter on Twitter.

It also made him a must-start player for fantasy owners. While Tevin Coleman may yet eat into Freeman's touches when he returns, Freeman has been incredibly impressive this season and has earned a prominent role in Atlanta's offense going forward. His aggressive, explosive running style means he's always a danger to reel off a long run.

At wideout for Atlanta, Julio Jones continues to be a safe option as a WR1 despite a quieter week against Houston. Few players have been better in fantasy this season, though like most receivers, Jones will be subject to an off week or two. Defenses would be wise to take him out of the game, though that of course is easier said than done.

Julio Jones	4	38	0	6	3

Leonard Hankerson continued to establish himself as Matt Ryan's No. 2 option in the passing game, meanwhile, exceeding 100 receiving yards and also scoring a touchdown Sunday. While Hankerson has nothing more than flex appeal at this point, the fact that he's becoming a steady target for Ryan in Atlanta's high-scoring offense means he must be rostered in all formats and is even worth starting, depending on the matchup, with the bye weeks upon us.
