Nathan Carter Racks Up 17 Carries in Bid for No. 3 RB Role

Sunday, August 23, 7:09 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Nathan Carter earned the bulk of the backfield load in Saturday's 34-6 win over the Colts, playing the entire game and rushing 17 times for 42 yards. The second-year back also scored one of the team's four touchdowns, finding the end zone from one yard out early in the second quarter. Carter served as the team's No. 3 back last season, tallying just nine carries for 60 scoreless yards, and is in position to operate in that role again this year. There is some competition from offseason signee Tyler Goodson, who also scored on a 49-yard run in Saturday's contest, but neither back figures to be fantasy relevant unless either Bijan Robinson or Brian Robinson were to go down with injury, so Carter should remain off the radar in fantasy drafts.

Jonah Coleman Offers Stash Appeal as Backfield Opens

Saturday, October 24, 11:03 AM

Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman (ankle) is worth adding in 12-team leagues for his potential to earn a larger role, but he is a stash and not a recommended Week 7 starter, even with Tyler Badie (thumb) ruled out and an opportunity to rejoin the backfield in Week 7. Coleman practiced fully throughout the week and is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, pending activation from injured reserve. Before his injury, the rookie played 40.3% of Denver's offensive snaps against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2, rushing 10 times for 39 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 19 yards. That workload came with RJ Harvey sidelined and J.K. Dobbins leaving the game early, and both remain part of Denver's backfield, although Dobbins has averaged just 3.3 yards per carry on 81 attempts this season. Head coach Sean Payton has also indicated that he will be mindful of Coleman's workload in his first game back.
