NFL Fantasy: You need Tevin Coleman!

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports


The Atlanta Falcons second year running back Tevin Coleman needs to be on your team. While Coleman splits time at running back he still has great fantasy value. Coleman rushed 12 times for 42 yards and three touchdowns against the New Orleans Saints.

While his value seems to rely on whether he scores touchdowns, that's not entirely true. Coleman has caught 10 of 11 passes this season for 167 yards. He's more reliable in the pass game than Freeman and that's where his true value is.

Coleman put up three strong games in fantasy and should definitely be picked up in all leagues. He's going to make a big impact in the Falcons offense each week. While he's not the starter he's still valuable.
