Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman is expected to make his preseason debut against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday after missing the first two games due to a hamstring injury. His teammate in the backfield, Devonta Freeman, sat out the first two games, too, and could also play in this game.

For fantasy, this is arguably the biggest game to watch this preseason. Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan likes to run the ball and tends to use one back in his system as opposed to a two-back scheme. The Falcons have improved their offensive line with Jake Matthews at tackle and their offense should be able to put some points on the board.
If Coleman goes off against a decent Miami defense, he could see his average draft position (ADP) rise up to the fourth round, which may be justified. Right now, he’s a seventh-round pick, so the risk is worth the reward at that price. Coleman possesses RB2 upside.
