Full Story »Tevin Coleman Warms the Bench in Atlanta
Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Tevin Coleman spent a lot of time on the bench in his return to action on Sunday against the Washington Redskins.

Full Story »Week 6 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Blake Bortles, Teddy Bridgewater & Ryan Fitzpatrick
As of this writing I am one-for-two in QB picks for last week. My deeper league pick Michael Vick plays Monday night and I will hopefully remember to update this with his performance.

Full Story »Devonta Freeman's Dominance Pushes Tevin Coleman to Reserve Role
When the Atlanta Falcons drafted Tevin Coleman, we were all prepared for a competition between the rookie and the second-year running back Devonta Freeman. Unfortunately, both players suffered a hamstring strain during training camp, which left the starting running back job up in the air heading into the 2015 season. While Coleman got the early nod as a […]

Yes, we know. You spent your first round pick on him. You had the hopes of your entire fantasy team resting on his shoulders. And what has Eddie Lacy given you in return? Numbers that are far from RB1 production. And he did little to quell your concerns today against the St. Louis Rams, rushing […]

Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett had been running well all day against the Cleveland Browns.
