Tevin Coleman among early players to target on waiver wire for Week 12

Injures were once again part of the story, with two key running backs going down in Week 11. While Brad Evans tackled fantasy owners needing to target Buck Allen with Justin Forsett breaking his arm, we will cover the Atlanta backfield here.

Devonta Freeman suffered a concussion early against the Indianapolis Colts. His status for Week 12 is uncertain, which means Tevin Coleman should be added. Even if Freeman is cleared to play against the Minnesota Vikings, Coleman has value going forward. While he was less-than impressive on 17 carries for 48 yards and lost a fumble Sunday, he has the speed to break a big play and fresh legs late in the season that could come in handy with the running back position being decimated by injury.

Another name to keep in mind with the playoffs looming is veteran tight end Vernon Davis. He
caught six balls for 68 yards for the Denver Broncos in a win over the Chicago Bears. Davis is starting settle in with his new team and coach Gary Kubiak is known for featuring tight ends.
