Tevin Coleman set for heavy workload
The flailing Atlanta Falcons lost their punch in last Sunday’s loss to the Colts after Devonta Freeman left with a concussion. The league’s sixth-leading rusher won’t help this weekend, either, with coach Dan Quinn confirming that Freeman won’t suit up at home against the Minnesota Vikings, per NFL Media’s Tiffany Blackmon. Freeman hasn’t practiced all week, leaving rookie Tevin Coleman in line for a big workload ahead of fellow rookie Terron Ward. (NFL.com)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Despite a poor showing last week, Coleman has turned in some respectable performances this season in limited action. He should get 15 to 20 touches this weekend and is shaping up as a mid-level RB2.
