Culpooper 3 Posted September 18, 2015 What do we think about this kid? Is he a reliable fantasy flex ROS? or a matchup play? He did get 20 carries and appears to the the first option in shanahan RB friendly system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadianfan 76 Posted September 18, 2015 He's serviceable in a non-PPR league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squintz82 45 Posted September 18, 2015 Just traded Allen Robinson for him. Like that he got 20 carries, and looked MUCH better than freeman. Seems to have their trust. Also going against the Giants without Beason this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdon 28 Posted September 18, 2015 I took him in my non ppr dynasty league and am very happy to have him... dude looks solid, plays on a team that can move the ball, and, if he can avoid the injury bug, could be a solid RB1 for years to come. jdon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted September 28, 2015 Does Freemans big game boost anyones confidence in Coleman when he comes back? I think its a great sign of things to come for Coleman because Freeman sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 587 Posted September 28, 2015 Does Freemans big game boost anyones confidence in Coleman when he comes back? I think its a great sign of things to come for Coleman because Freeman sucks Freeman had a poor game against what looked like a decent Run defense and a great game against a weak defense. Tevin played decent against a pretty good D in week 1. I still think this is a RBBC where he will eventually emerge as the starter (as long as he can remain on the field) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gpann101 32 Posted September 28, 2015 Before yesterday's game, I always felt it was Freeman's job to lose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfalcon 824 Posted September 28, 2015 So I picked up Freeman this past week, and started him in the flex. I don't know the ins and outs of the Falcons RB situation, so my questions are: Is there any chance Freeman takes the job from Coleman? Obviously he looked like a stud yesterday. If we think Coleman gets the job back, how much can I get for Freeman right now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrG 94 Posted September 28, 2015 I'd rather buy Coleman low and hold Freeman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squintz82 45 Posted September 28, 2015 Personally, if Freeman has another elite performance, I'm going to try and sell him. It's going to be a 50/50 split at best when Coleman returns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plasma george 52 Posted September 28, 2015 You can stick the proverbial fork Coleman now !!! Freeman looked outstanding yesterday !!!!!!!!! And that's understating it!! He did look amazing, quick and decisive, seeing the holes, making great cut backs even when there was no hole. They went into Dallas and made a great comeback.....I'm not sure what else Falcons could possibly need to see from a RB to win a starting job. (owner and started him....and neeeeeed him badly with Dougie doing D!ck in Tampa) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirensong 111 Posted September 28, 2015 before getting too excited, bear in mind that he was running against an extremely depleted D-line on sunday. DAL was down to its 4th string RDE, who is actually a rotation DT and was starting his first NFL game. the rotation 3-tech was playing in his first game, and the rotation 1-tech went on IR earlier in the week. freeman bears watching, but this game probably isn't representative.

weepaws 2,452 Posted September 28, 2015 I would keep Freeman so far Coleman can't stay healthy . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SMath3333 10 Posted September 28, 2015 Coleman is a rookie. Matt Ryan and Quinn trust Freeman more on pass protection. Yesterday's game was against a weak and depleted Cowboys D, however it was clear that Freeman was elusive, hit the holes hard, and was able to catch the ball. Methinks it will be a 75%/25% timeshare with Freeman being the featured back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted September 29, 2015 Freeman sucks caak. Since i whole heartedly believe that he is going to be the feature back and ruin all the Coleman stock i bought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 587 Posted September 29, 2015 Freeman sucks caak. Since i whole heartedly believe that he is going to be the feature back and ruin all the Coleman stock i bought. Freeman is a situational back. not a feature back. The guy had one good game and a milion crappy games. He's gonna need at least one more performance last week before the coaches will even give him a sniff of the starting job. This is a time share. Coleman will probably earn the starting job eventually, but it will take at least 3 or 4 more games to do it (due to his injury) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 979 Posted September 29, 2015 Getting real tired of reading on fantasy websites that Freeman is average, mediocre, blah blah blah. I've always liked him and his talent and he proved it yesterday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 587 Posted September 29, 2015 Getting real tired of reading on fantasy websites that Freeman is average, mediocre, blah blah blah. I've always liked him and his talent and he proved it yesterday. He's honestly not that good. prior to Sunday his best game was 38 yards rushing and 44 yards receiving. He had almost a full year to break out as the main back in the timeshare when SJAX got hurt, and he couldnt do it. Now the team has more talent and Tevin Coleman, a player drafted specifically for this run scheme. Do you seriously see him coming out as the starter? Yes he looked good on Sunday. Yes, its the first time ever. Yes you are excited. but He honestly needs to blow the doors off again before he will grab the attention of the coach. Even then... The coach may still go with Coleman. This last game was against a defense that looked like it couldnt tackle. Why dont we wait for the result of the next game before we annoint him the new King of Atlanta Football. Next week he plays against a mediocre Houston team with a decent run D. Because the team isnt top notch they will give up run yards, but that's generally late in the game. This is Not a super tough test, but a reasonable test. If he performs then you got something to brag about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H-man 12 Posted October 3, 2015 I just gave up a decent amount to get Coleman. I think once he's healthy he will outproduce Freeman and put up low-end RB2 numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted October 3, 2015 I hope you are right. I am hanging on hoping Freeman's big game last week hasn't made Atl change their minds about who the man is in Atl. Freeman is a better 3rd down change back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 979 Posted October 4, 2015 I have Freeman. Tevin Coleman was cut in my league. I'd have to drop Michael Crabtree to pick him up, or I could pick up Christine Michael. Don't know what to do. I guess I'll hold Crabtree until I decide if either of these RB options are worth rostering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other 2 do not, especially CMichael. If he carves out a role as a short yardage rb for dallas, thats not startable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first time we see him in meaningful action he's playing like an MVP, he's obviously not mediocre. Some guys just need a chance to shine. He's in a great situation to play well and is doing so. Mediocre rbs are mediocre even with the right situation. The most I'll accept is that Freeman is mediocre at worst. At best he's good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfalcon 824 Posted October 4, 2015 In defense of the Freeman haters, if you take away his two big plays, a 44 yard catch and a 23 yard TD run, then he would only have 67 yards and a TD in the first half. That may be the best half anyone has had so far today. But it's hardly hall of fame worthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
