Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Tevin Coleman

Tevin Coleman (RB – SF): 0% rostered

• Next opponents: @ATL, KC, @LAR
• True value: $12
• Desperate need: $16
• Budget-minded: $4

Analysis: In a stunning development, the 49ers put the ball in recently elevated Tevin Coleman‘s hands 11 times on Sunday. The Shanahan Tree RB cashed in with two touchdowns and a shocking 21.7 fantasy points. Shanahan has reiterated the “hot hand” mantra all season. Even though Jeff Wilson has been more than adequate, Coleman’s prowess as a receiver makes him a really nice value add who might get lost in the shuffle while everyone drops their FAAB load on Ken Walker.
