New Orleans Saints receiver Brandon Coleman has been all over the fantasy map. Back in August, there was so much buzz about him being the best player at camp, but he's lost a little bit of his luster.

Coleman has seen receiver Willie Snead leapfrog him on the depth chart and Coleman's stats have taken a hit, too. He didn't catch a single ball in Week 5 and has just two catches since Week 3. It's pretty clear he's trending down and he would be a no-brainer benched guy in fantasy leagues.
However, receiver Marques Colston is out, so Coleman should find himself back in the WR rotation and could line up on the outside in three-wide sets. The Falcons are prone to the deep ball, so maybe Coleman catches a long TD.
Fantasy impact: You really can’t play Coleman and any of his fantasy owners should swap him for Snead, if Snead is out there on the waiver wire.
