Anyone Starting Tevin Coleman?

[cctekguy]

Atlanta's backfield is looking like a situation to avoid in fantasy but I'm wondering if this week isn't the week to start him.

Devonta Freeman is gimpy, Antone Smith is gone. Teron Ward is the only back-up to speak of so he should be getting the bulk of the snaps.

It should be a high scoring game @ Philly on Monday night and Philly's D is good but not great.

For me, my other choice is Mark Ingram @ Az. Not a great match-up for a between the tackles runner though he has been getting more usage in the passing game. Spiller is out but Khiry is a legitimate carry threat.

Who are you starting Coleman over or who are you benching Coleman for?

At first blush most would jump on Ingram and that includes myself. Butt you bring up an interesting point. One player you drafted and one you traded for. A local guy you can watch on local TV or the dreadful Dirty Birds. Yeah, I still go Ingram but it might be your best opportunity to start Freeman for 3-4 weeks.

Dang good question and I hope others chime in.

Im starting Coleman in one league, but only because of lack of better options.

Roll with Ingram. Take advantage of Spiller being out and Mark getting a full workload this week

 

[cctekguy]

Well, this thread has become moot because Freeman is gonna play which puts the Atlanta backfield back into the "fantasy unfriendly" realm.

...so what about Sankey instead of Ingram? No time share, pitiful Tampa D....

Just don't feel good about Ingram this week

Dude...you gotta play Ingram. Hes a great play this week, especially in PPR with Spiller being out. He's going to get a ton of work, and hes almost certainly the goal line carrier too.

You're over thinking this one Tek... Start Ingram.

 

[cctekguy]

'K guys.

Thanks for talking me down

 

[JScott]

Yep, I'll also back the Ingram start.

Coleman didn't score a lot of points but had 20 carries and Freeman was healthy. That's a little confidence boost for those of us that own him.

...and you guys nailed Ingram. THANKS!

Turns out I should have started Bishop Sankey over LAMAR MILLER LOL.

I will tell you what, Coleman showed me alot in that game, granted Philly def was not all that stout, but still he ran with speed and power. Like this kid for future with Atlanta.
Sankey won't last I don't think, think they will either draft next year, or if Cobb comes back start using him. They have West as well, not sure if he will get carries.

 

[cctekguy]

Not suggesting anyone rush out and get Sankey.

...but he had a good week.

 

[Remote Controller]

Sankey looked decisive and quick.

 

[cctekguy]

Well, I started Coleman week 2 and it was going pretty well until he got injured

Good news is, I now have Freeman in a "no RBBC environment" and he looked really good yesterday.

 

[Deacon]

Sankey looked decisive and quick.

...and then week two happened.
