Turner charged with DUI     -- Tue Sep 18 10:24 am --

Turner's bad night on the field goes off the field
Falcons running back Michael Turner was arrested on drunken driving charges early Tuesday morning, after he scored a touchdown on the Falcons first possession of Monday Night Football, and hours after the Falcons won a 27-21 home victory against the Denver Broncos. (Associated Press)

FF Today's Take: This is Michael Turner’s first brush with the law, and the incident will most likely not end up in a suspension. More concerning, however, is Michael Turner’s production out of the backfield for fantasy owners. It took three rushing attempts—one additional attempt was needed after a touchdown call was overturned by review—for the Falcons running back to score from the one-yard line. After which Turner only managed 42 yards on 17 carries for a 2.5 average.
