One of the top running back prospects in the draft, Tevin Coleman landed in Atlanta with a third-round pick. And there's a lot to like. 

Coleman, from Indiana, is coming off a sensational junior year where he ran for 2,036 yards on 270 carries (a ridiculous 7.5 yard average) with 15 touchdowns. The big, tough rusher has surprising speed but is pretty much a one-cut runner who is more of a bully than a fleet-footed guy who will avoid tackles. 

The good news is that Coleman figures to slide right into a sizable role given the lack of options at running back for the Falcons. Second-year back Devonta Freeman offers the biggest challenge for playing time but could just as easily end up getting wedged into a passing downs role. He could end up as the Roy Helu to Coleman's Alfred Morris -- an apt comparison given the new offensive coordinator in Atlanta, Kyle Shanahan. He worked with Morris and Helu in Washington and could easily deploy these backs in similar fashion. 

The biggest negative might not have anything to do with either of these guys. The Falcons offensive line is still messy, and if it can't block for Coleman (or Freeman) then we could see long days for them over the course of the season. It also doesn't help either one that they're on the same squad as Matt Ryan, which means there will be passing. 

Coleman is the better back of the two. I'd go so far as to say he's in the mix as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy running back in his spot with the Falcons. I wouldn't rule out 250 carries for him, and I wouldn't wait longer than Round 5 or 6 to take a chance on him. Freeman slides from similar territory to a No. 3 Fantasy running back who will go closer to Round 10 than Round 8. If we're talking long-term formats, Coleman is worth a pick in the same neighborhood as above. He's also worth a first-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues.
