blasphemy (real nfl not, fantasy as i am an owner of both in multiple leagues)
not atypical... 15 roster spots. 7 bench spots currently employed by Rivers, Gates, Karlos Williams, Crowell, Morris, Matt Jones, Crabtree. Dont really see any ot those I'm dying to drop for a guy getting a few carries a game. Plus it's one of the few leagues I don't own Freeman in.
So add a third Steelers back?
only to answer in real NFL terms...
football fans not from Pittsburgh?
To clarify:football fans not from Pittsburgh?
ETA: Al O'Pecia: bizkliz blew that one, sorry bud. TDorBust hates real NFL, not you!!!! totally my bad (although my wife also does not care about real NFL).
to get back to the point...freeman is very awesome, but hes just not leveon. sorry to all.

Their game won't be meaningless week 17. Also, I'd say 95% or more of fantasy leagues don't even use week 17
iIf I'm a Freeman owner and I have the choice of Coleman or Crowell or Jones or Crabtree on my bench, it's Coleman for absolute sure.
Man would have loved to receive that offer; been trying to move DT for a couple of weeks.
Nope. Highest ranked team (as far as projected points) going into every week. Just real bad luck. Like 5 D TDs scored against me in 3 weeks. AJ Green and Julio go nuts together against me in one week, etc.
Just to give you a base
Take it to the Shark Pool smart guy, this is the assistant coach forum. Where everybody cares about your fantasy team.
As some one that thought he was a good, but not great running back entering the league (and who didn't want much to do with him this year splitting carries at best with Coleman), I'll admit I was wrong about.
yeah dumb decision on my part. I just wanted to see how Coleman return would affect him and figured dt vs oak would be a great game and i can reevaluate. Turns out Coleman had no impact and dt sucked vs oak and now freeman is no longer on the board.
Dude, you just need to quit while you're behind. Way behind.Milkman said:
ATL plays it different with Coleman - they are pulling guards and tackles to make the reads easier and he is still doing what he did at IU by running into the back of his O-Line. I'm a huge IU and Coleman fan and when he gets a crease he's gone quicker than Chevy Chase snow sledding in Christmas Vacation, but you gotta expect a lot (16-18) 2-3 yard runs and then 1 or 2 60+ yard TDs with him.
NYG front 7 didn't allow the gaping holes Atl is opening up now. Freeman is playing out of his mind, but that oline has been awesome.
no one could predict the huge turnaround by the OL in a short time.
I tried to explain that once but people just focused on the 2 huge runs against OSU.

On a board about fantasy football
In a official thread about the fantasy value of a player
During a discussion of who is the best scoring option the rest of the season
Why do I care about real football?
I love the Packers and talking general football but that doesn't have a place in most threads on here.
If we want to take real football though Pittsburgh run blocking has been pretty damn good recently. I think you could see that with D-Will who was basically sold off as over the hill but was able to produce very well behind that Pittsburgh line.
So what if they play it different with him? As long as he puts up fantasy points, that's all that matters right? Coleman would be a #1 RB if Freeman went down.
Without a doubt and since I own Freeman, with my bad luck, it would be wise to own Coleman. Gio got the screw job by Cincy and he's more talented than Freeman. Fortunately the ATL coaching staff is more talented than Cincy's. A couple 2 yard gains by Gio on poor play calling sent him into RBBC with Mr. Fumble Jeremy Hill.
You could very well be right. That wasn't the argument I made. I'm saying at this time Freeman, while having arguably lesser physical talents, is a more complete back for what the Falcons want to do. That doesn't detract from Coleman being a high value handcuff.
Based on what though? He had 4 carries last night, 2 the week before. He showed at least as much burst/explosion as Freeman in the first two weeks.
He generally is going through the holes at a slower speed, probably lacking confidence but will get better. Took Freeman in the 2nd round in dynasty rookie draft and Coleman in the first this year. It's a 1.5 PPR league so the catches are nice.
damn man that sucks.... also that trade you mentioned earlier for Freeman/Andre damn that didn't work out so good for the guy with AJ at all. Freeman has put up 8 tds in last 4 weeks. He is putting up Priest Holmes numbers.
What happened to the 'The guy is garbage' posts? Surprised you even showed up on this board. You can cut Coleman. I know you say you don't own him but you either own him or you are him.
