6 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman put up a poor Week 16 fantasy performance against the Carolina Panthers. The issue was not how Coleman performed but the opportunities he received. Coleman rushed for an average of 5.1 yards per carry, but only received 10 carries and did not add a reception. Therefore, if you started Coleman this week you are stuck with a measly 5.1 fantasy points. Whether that changes next week is highly questionable, as the Falcons seems set in splitting their backfield carries between Coleman and whoever is active. If I need Coleman in Week 17 I am going to have a really hard time trusting him, even if the matchup was great.--Ben Rolfe
