AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted October 7, 2015 Does he have any value at all at the moment other than handcuff? Everyone was expecting him to runaway with the job before he got hurt. I would've loved to have gotten him predraft, Now he's sitting there on the WW. Whoever the RB in that offense is will have RB1 value, especially with the schedule ATL faces. But Freeman has absolutely taken hold of the starting gig these last two weeks. Is there any shot at Coleman having fantasy value right now (maybe a Gio Bernard type) or is he useless unless Freeman goes down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 2,264 Posted October 7, 2015 Freeman is a mediocre rb who everyone is losing their nut on because he beat up on 2 bad run defenses. Even tanatastic, who was right about cj anderson, is blinded by watching freeman run around untouched. That being said, freeman is still the starter. I think Colemans ability will shine through. I also believe that even if this is a split, both backs will be viable starters each week unless one gets hurt, or the other just sucks. Coleman scored a TD in each of his first two games and was looking like a 18-22 carry rb. The fact that no one is rostering this guy and his potential in some leagues is insane to me. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Byrdman5 112 Posted October 7, 2015 I think Coleman is must own.i would grab him. ATL is steamrolling teams and Coleman is the most talented back ATL has. Houston actually was a decent run defense, have not given up a rushing TD or 100 yards on the ground. I am drinking the Freeman coolaid but it may go bad anytime.

Ray_T 753 Posted October 7, 2015 I still own Coleman. With back to back big games, I have to think that the coach would need to think about giving Freeman the next start even if Coleman is healthy. I am hanging onto coleman because I am still not completely sold on Freeman. but I'm playing this week to week at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,062 Posted October 7, 2015 Im thinking worst case, Freeman can still be the Woodhead of the Falcons. All the redzone work, goal line and 3rd downs while taking a series here and there. Thats if they decide to keep Coleman in a flimsy "starting" role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 3,191 Posted October 7, 2015 Coleman can't seem to stay healthy enough to stay on the field , I don't trust him right now and Others keep posting about how bad Freeman is as a player but yet he keeps putting up rb one number the past two weeks . No way Coleman comes back and Freeman goes back to just being a back up like De Williams with the Steelers . It's a Rbbc when Coleman comes back . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beyond Chaos 75 Posted October 7, 2015 I'd say it's 75/25 split at worst for Freeman and Coleman has to re-prove himself to earn any more than 25%. Freeman is the goaline back, regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brotherbock 349 Posted October 7, 2015 I drafted Freeman because I missed on Coleman, and thought Coleman might not have the full load. Coleman owner in roster trouble dropped him after he got hurt. I just picked him up after a trade created some roster space, mostly because a good portion--not all--of Freeman's recent success has been the O-line. Byrdman is right, Houston's run D wasn't terrible. Atlanta's O-line was opening huge holes. They'll be able to do that for Coleman if Freeman goes down. And he could, he's a little dude. I couldn't afford to grab Coleman until today--didn't have anyone to drop. But I've got him now, and there's a good chance he'll be useful--if Freeman is a mirage, or if he gets hurt. Coleman is good too, he'll thrive in that offense too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chobani 3 Posted October 9, 2015 Coleman on waivers in my league. Does he still hold value with Freeman blowing up? I am thinking this is a good pickup with lots of potential upside...he was the starter at the beginning of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 2,264 Posted October 10, 2015 Id pick up Coleman everywhere. At very worst you have a high upside lotto ticket behind Freeman in case of injury. I agree. I think its seriously ridiculous that Coleman is on waivers. Maybe as soon as he was hurt, but once the news wasnt that bad he should have been picked up as a lotto ticket immediately. I purposely traded assets away for him after the injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 3,191 Posted October 10, 2015 More upside; Coleman or Duke Johnson?

TennisMenace 156 Posted October 10, 2015 I agree, Coleman has more upside for two reasons: 1. Freeman is little and may get injured. 2. There is a three headed monster in Arizona 3. Coleman will get 10 touches at least, and maybe even goal line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redstone 0 Posted October 14, 2015 27 carries for Freeman to Coleman's 3 in a game that went all the way into overtime. Freeman's play the last 3 weeks cannot be denied. Baring injury, Coleman will be irrelevant. As a Ellington owner I feel you pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TennisMenace 156 Posted October 14, 2015 Yeah, I said those words before on October 10th and today, October 14th, I recant them. I own Coleman and I'm wondering if I should hold him just waiting for Freeman to go down. Would you hold him just for that reason? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seadog54 20 Posted October 14, 2015 Dropped. If you're holding onto him, your only hope is an injury. It could be next week or next year. I'm not going to use up a roster spot during the prime of bye weeks for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 753 Posted October 15, 2015 I agree he is a good hold if your roster can spare the room. another big game by freeman could mean Coleman only gets playing time in the event of an injury. if Freeman returns to his old self, Coleman could still get some love. Due to bye weeks and injuries, I am starting to feel the pinch. I May drop Coleman if Freeman lights it up again on Thursday. Not cuz I dont like him, but because I may need to cover a bye week and an injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted October 16, 2015 Coleman (except for the fumble) was having a great game based on his usage. If you didn't know any better you'd think it was Freeman running on those Coleman runs. Not to dismiss Freeman but I think this is one of those situations (good line with great scheme, STUD WR on the outside, etc) where you can put almost any RB back there and he would be a RB1. If you own Freeman then Coleman is a must add. If you have roster space, Coleman is a must add. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
