Falcons RB Devonta Freeman still sidelined with a hamstring issue

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman will not participate in tonight's preseason game against the Miami Dolphins. He has been dealing with a hamstring issue. Although he was well ahead of Tevin Coleman in the battle for the Falcons' RB1 job prior to injury, Coleman will get the start and has the opportunity to gain ground on Freeman. As of now, Freeman is projected to be the starter ahead of Coleman.

Fantasy Analysis:

Freeman should still have the edge and it's a no-brainer in PPR leagues. However, Coleman could make a big push in standard leagues.
