Falcons expect to have Tevin Coleman Week 5

Oct 05, 2015

The Falcons are third in the NFL in points per game through the first four weeks of the season and their offense could get another piece back as they try to improve to 5-0 this week.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that the team expects to have running back Tevin Coleman on the field for Wednesday’s practice. Coleman has not played since breaking a rib in the second week of the regular season and Quinn hopes that changes this week.

“We’re hopeful,” Quinn said, via ESPN.com. “We’ll probably be able to get him, for sure, some work starting on Wednesday. So, we’re hopeful that he’ll be back with us.”

Fantasy Impact:

Of course, this isn't good news for Devonta Freeman owners. Coleman’s return will give the Falcons another weapon, but it will also force them to figure out the right balance between Coleman, who started before his injury, and Freeman. Freeman has run for 209 yards, gained 133 more on 10 catches and scored six touchdowns over the last two weeks.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
