Will the Falcons backfield be fantasy football poison in 2015?

I try to limit the number of fantasy football posts around these parts, even though many (most?) of us play it. It's better to appreciate your favorite football team through a non-fantasy lens, I've found.

That said, it's a long offseason, and the Falcons' backfield is shaping up to be one of the most interesting battles on the roster. If Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman end up splitting the workload anywhere near 50/50, those hoping to draft one of the talented young backs may want to think twice.

That's largely because the two appear neck-and-neck for the starting gig early, and the Falcons may choose to platoon them to maximize their effectiveness.
