One of the more interesting moves at running back this offseason took place in San Francisco as the team added former Atlanta backup Tevin Coleman to the mix, reuniting him with former Falcons offensive coordinator and current 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. Coleman joins a cluttered, albeit injury-riddled backfield that was quietly productive in 2018 despite countless injuries across the offense.
It'd be easy to look back at Coleman's history with Shanahan and project Coleman to be the lead back in San Francisco this season. The 26-year-old Coleman enjoyed his most efficient season back in 2016 as a member of the Falcons with Shanahan calling the plays, when he rushed for 520 yards and eight touchdowns while adding 421 yards and three touchdowns in the passing game - and he did that while playing a complementary role to that season's fantasy RB1 overall, Devonta Freeman. Without a proven producer like Freeman in front of him in San Francisco, it would appear at first glance that Coleman is the odds-on favorite to lead the team in touches at the position this season.
However, there are concerns about Coleman, particularly relating to his lack of production in 2018. The aforementioned Freeman went down early in the season to injury and the hype train was in full effect for Coleman. However, Coleman fizzled out, rushing for just 800 yards while adding 276 yards as a receiver. His fantasy season was partially saved due to his impressive five touchdowns in the passing game, but his four rushing touchdowns were very discouraging in what was still a good Atlanta offense. What's most concerning, though, is that Coleman couldn't even fully hold off rookie Ito Smith, who saw over 100 total touches, limiting Coleman to fewer than 200 touches on the season.
It's tough to say that Coleman's season was a complete disaster as he did finish inside RB2 range, but there's no question that it was a disappointment given the context of the situation and what fantasy owners were expecting. Those who traded for Coleman once Freeman went down certainly did not return the value that they were hoping for.
The 49ers backfield may not have a proven mega-producer like Freeman in it, but it does have a number of players who are extremely gifted athletes and who have flashed explosive playmaking ability, which is really how Coleman has shined throughout his career. He may be the best bet of the bunch to be the top producer, but that doesn't mean that he's going to see enough touches to have even close to RB1 upside. In fact, the downside is that Coleman could realistically end up playing a similar role in San Francisco to the one he played in Atlanta, just in a less explosive, less-talented offense within a division with substantially more difficult defensive matchups.
Thankfully Coleman's ADP has been hovering around a bottom-end RB2 to high end RB3 so he's unlikely to cost fantasy owners much even if he does disappoint, so the upside of him finishing as a mid-level RB2 does make him appealing given the lack of cost to acquire him in drafts.

 Breida, Mostert expected to play Thursday night
Three-headed backfield
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Oct 31, 3:07 pm
|  | More 49ers' injury updates: RB Raheem Mostert, listed as questionable for tonight with a knee injury, will play vs. Cardinals. OT Joe Staley, doubtful with a fibula injury, will not.
49ers RB Matt Breida, who’s listed as questionable with an ankle injury, is playing tonight vs. the Cardinals, per source. Felt good this AM so good to go. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Tevin Coleman will have his usual support meaning the 49ers will be in RBBC mode tonight against the Cardinals although given injuries, Coleman is on the RB2 radar while Breida is more of a Flex option.
| Tevin Coleman back at work
Suffered high-ankle sprain in Week 1
By: Doug Orth | Thu Oct 3, 7:35 pm
| | RB Tevin Coleman (ankle) was limited at practice today. He has been out since Week 1 with his injury. Today was his first day back at practice. (NBC Sports Bay Area)
FFToday's Take: There's no word as to whether or not he will play in Week 5, but the odds are against it. Still, it puts him on track to return in Week 6. When he does return, he will almost certainly split work with Matt Breida while Raheem Mostert mixes in on occasion. If he gets goal-line work as expected, he'll be well worth considering as a flex option in HC Kyle Shanahan's fantasy-friendly running back scheme.
| Tevin Coleman expected to miss time, ankle injury
MRI on Monday
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Sep 9, 1:10 pm
| | The 49ers are going to be without one of their offseason additions as Tevin Coleman is expected to miss time with an ankle sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.
Coleman missed the second half of Sunday's 31-17 win over the Buccaneers and is scheduled to undergo tests Monday to figure out the severity of the ankle sprain. (SI.com)
FFToday's Take: This sounds like Coleman suffered a high ankle sprain but we won't know for sure until after the MRI. In the meantime, Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert should see the bulk of work in the 49ers backfield with Jeff Wilson likely being called up from the practice squad.
