Oh how much fun this backfield could be if there was a true workhorse. You can't blame the coaching staff for splitting carries between the two backs, but drafters can wonder about the potential for either Coleman or Freeman if the other one weren't around. Coleman set a career high with 156 carries and maintained a 4 yards per carry average with the additional work. While it was a noticeable drop of nearly 25 fantasy points for the season, Coleman still managed a RB2 finish despite the overall scoring problems with the offense.
Entering 2018, it's likely that Coleman continues to get a bigger workload and entering the final year of his contract, it's possible that the team could utilize him without caution particularly if this is his last season with the team. Currently, he's being drafted as the RB31 which indicates that most drafters believe he's the premier handcuff with RB3 standalone value. But if the offense can rebound as a whole, it has sustained multiple RB2s and he's a strong candidate to benefit. At the back of the 6th round, Coleman is maybe the best bargain of the Atlanta RBs.

 Julio, Tevin will play for Falcons
Both practiced on Friday
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Dec 28, 1:30 pm
|  | #Falcons WR Julio Jones (ribs/hip) and RB Tevin Coleman (groin) practiced and will play vs. #Bucs. LG Wes Schweitzer (back) is out. @FalconsDQ would not confirm that Ben Garland will start for Schweitzer. From Matt Winkeljohn, who was at practice today for @AJCsports (Orlando Ledbetter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Sounds like both Falcons starters will be on the field against the Bucs, the question is for how long? Coleman's availability takes the shine off Brian Hill as a cheap DFS play unless we get further info that Coleman will be limited.
