My personal late-round target (shh, don’t tell the guys in my league) in my fantasy draft this year is Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman.
Coleman finished 7th in Heisman voting in his final year at the University of Indiana. He rushed for 2,036 yards (7.5 yards per carry) and scored 15 touchdowns.
Coleman is flying under the radar for the most part right now, but his draft stock could rise as we progress closer to preseason games. He is currently slotted as the backup running back to Devonta Freeman in Atlanta, but there very well could be a 50-50 carry split and if Freeman were to go down with an injury, Coleman would be the primary back on a very high powered offense.
