The Atlanta Falcons are no longer listing Tevin Coleman on the injury report. That means he is good to go for their Week 12 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.
Tevin Coleman injury update: RB good to go for Falcons, fantasy owners
Tevin Coleman returns, but the Cardinals’ stout run defense makes him a risky fantasy play.

Coleman’s hamstring injury suffered in Week 7 caused him to miss three games before Atlanta hit their Week 11 bye. That allowed Coleman enough recovery time before he makes his return in Week 12.
In seven games, Coleman has 234 yards and five touchdowns on 59 rushes with 19 grabs for 330 yards and one score. He has been a PPR stud in this offense while sharing carries with Devonta Freeman.
Entering Week 12, Coleman still ranks 11th in fantasy scoring per game among running backs in PPR leagues.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Coleman as the 33rd-best running back in Week 12. He faces an Arizona defense allowing the fewest fantasy points to running backs this season.
Keep Coleman on the bench this week so we can see how much work he gets his first game back against a stout run defense.
