Tevin Coleman to play backup role in Week 1

It was announced today that Tevin Coleman will spell Matt Breida in the 49ers backfield for at least the first week of the season. Coleman was going much higher in drafts this offseason, but going into Week 1 it appears that Breida held a much better draft value. (Andy Holloway on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Coleman will still play a role in the offense, but he won’t take the majority of reps. He’ll likely receive a larger amount of receiving work than Breida, and receptions for a running back are very valuable. Consider Coleman a solid flex in PPR leagues.
