No. 5: Running Back Ito Smith (10 Percent Owned)

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith is a no-brainer pickup since starter Devonta Freeman has gone to injured reserve.

Fellow Falcons running back Tevin Coleman will slide in as the 1A and Smith will slide in as the 1B in offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian’s two-back system.

Smith may actually prove to be a better fantasy option than Coleman, as he has been scoring all the rushing touchdowns over Coleman.

Red-zone usage equals touchdowns, and Smith has that going over Coleman. Smith will be a popular fantasy football add this week, so using a waiver claim on him would be wise.
