Devonta Freeman

9) Devonta Freeman, RB, Atlanta Falcons

The arrival of new Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan could help Freeman crack the 1,000-yard mark as a first-time starter. Shanahan is installing a zone-based running scheme ideally suited to Freeman's talents as an explosive one-cut runner on the perimeter. Although he could share the workload with rookie Tevin Coleman during the early part of the season, Freeman possesses the kind of talent as a runner that typically produces big numbers in a scheme that emphasizes efficiency and discipline at the point of attack. Considering Freeman's solid receiving skills and open-field running ability, the Falcons could unleash the slippery playmaker as a multipurpose threat this season.

I hope they both run for 1k and 8 TDs. 2 is always better than 1. Unless it's STDs.

Me too! I might support Freeman more than anyone else here, but I have nothing but love for Coleman too. i am STOKED about the potential run game this year. We could be dangerous.

yea, kinda. I think both will probably be considered successful this year. I sincerely think either one could easily crack 1k if given around 250 touches. It's all going to distill down to who is getting the carries. This will be a good problem to have. Jmo

Bingo. Hopefully they're both doing so well Kyle can't ever decide who to play.

FREEMAN will be the starting RB. He can run, catch and pass block and he is a great fit for our ZB scheme.

I see Coleman as an outstanding complement to Freeman and they both will get plenty of carries, Freeman will unquestionably be the starter though, and he should really thrive. Coleman has such incredible exposion theres no way you keep him on the bench (unless you coach under Mike Smith)

The board seems to be split. Half of the people think that Freeman is going to have a huge year and half think that Coleman is.

In that case, I hope both halves are right. 1/2 Freeman + 1/2 Coleman = 1 huge year. I can live with that!
