FanSided listed five running backs that it thinks are "fantasy football busts" in 2017, and Devonta Freeman is listed as No. 1.

The list also includes 34-year-old Frank Gore and 32-year-old Danny Woodhead. Devonta Freeman is the youngest on the list.

The reason FanSided chose Devonta Freeman first: Kyle Shanahan. After Super Bowl LI, the Atlanta Falcons hired Steve Sarkisian as the new offensive coordinator after Shanahan became the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.
