Coleman is battling a hamstring injury suffered back in Week 7, which has kept him out of practice since then. He was having a breakout year while sharing the backfield with Devonta Freeman.
In seven games this season, Coleman has 59 rushes for 234 yards and five touchdowns while catching 19 passes for 330 yards and one score. Even as a backup, Coleman has been a solid fantasy play most weeks, especially in PPR leagues.
Fantasy Impact: With Coleman out, you obviously will not be starting him this week, but do not cut him just yet. He was able to do some rehab work on the side this week, so it is possible he returns in Week 10.
Coleman being out also makes Freeman a more attractive fantasy play vs. a Bucs defense allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to running backs this season.
