BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues

ANALYSIS: Tevin Coleman's fantasy value going forward is entirely dependent on Devonta Freeman's Week 13 status. Freeman was tearing through opposing defenses on a weekly basis before suffering a concussion in Week 11. As a result, Coleman, Atlanta's original starting running back, regained the role for the time being. Sunday was his first start since Week 2, and he took 18 carries for 110 yards. It was the first 100-yard performance of his young career, and we finally got to see what the Falcons saw in their third-round pick.
Devonta Freeman is expected to return to action in Week 13, and while this shouldn't eliminate Coleman's presence in the Falcons' offense altogether, it will mean a drop in touches. Still, he has proven enough to warrant 8-12 carries per game for the remainder of the season, so he should maintain fantasy relevancy. Coleman's greatest value probably comes in keeper leagues, in the case that he is traded in the offseason, but keep him on your roster in deep leagues in case there is another mixup in the Falcons' backfield.
