One of the most important aspects of fantasy football is who to start and who to sit. After your star players, the decisions get harder the further you get into your roster.
The point of this weekly advice is not to tell you to start Le’Veon Bell or DeAndre Hopkins. We’ll be diving deeper into rosters and trying to decipher who has to be in your lineup and who you may need to steer clear of. Without any further ado, let’s get into the fantasy football plays of the week.
Start: Tevin Coleman, RB – Atlanta Falcons
Tevin Coleman is one of those players with the unfortunate luck to be a teammate with one of the best running backs in the NFL. Devonta Freeman is a total stud and you generally need a touchdown or a big play for Coleman to really be worth playing. The good news for Coleman is he gets one of the worst defenses in the NFL this Sunday in the New England Patriots.
The Falcons as a team were highly disappointing this week in their loss to the Miami Dolphins. Many that Atlanta would come out and destroy the Dolphins. Coleman himself was held in check and all he really did was find the end zone. Sunday represents a great bounce back for him and the Atlanta offense. Every QB has thrown for over 300 yards this season against New England. Coleman will get his share.
