Tevin Coleman, Atlanta Falcons

FanDuel Price: $5,900

Tevin Coleman has been electric lately, eclipsing 24 FanDuel points in two of his last three games.

Through five games, Coleman's Rushing NEP per play ranks 13th among the 34 running backs who have attempted at least 35 rushes this season. His Reception NEP total is the best mark among those same running backs and is nearly eight points better than the total of Arizona's David Johnson. Coleman's Target NEP is a ridiculous 10.5 points better than his nearest competitors in this group of backs.

He's been great.

The problem is, Coleman is traveling to CenturyLink Field to take on the stout Seattle Seahawks defense, who are fresh off a bye week. This will be the second straight game for the Falcons that will be played more than 1,400 miles from Atlanta.

Since the start of the 2015 season, opposing running backs playing in Seattle have averaged just 6.61 FanDuel points per game. The Seahawks currently rank seventh this year in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play. Seattle has also allowed the second-fewest receptions (13) and third-fewest receiving yards (129) to running backs.

There's also that whole Devonta Freeman thing to worry about, as well. As explosive as Coleman has been, he still has to split opportunities with Freeman. Coleman has averaged just 9.2 carries and 4.2 targets per game this season.

It's a brutal matchup, and Coleman is splitting work in the backfield. Don't let yourself be sleepless on Sunday by playing Coleman in Seattle.
