Tevin Coleman Elevated From Practice Squad On Saturday
San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. This move adds insurance to the backfield in case Elijah Mitchell (groin) is unable to play this weekend. Mitchell missed three days of practice this week. His absence would likely mean that Coleman would be the primary backup to Christian McCaffrey. Fantasy managers will have to check back to see if Mitchell ends up sitting out this game.
San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday. That means, the veteran back will be available for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This appears to be a move to add extra depth in the backfield before gameday. Star back Christian McCaffrey is expected to handle of bulk of the carries in the backfield. After that, Jordan Mason, Tyrion Davis-Price, and possibly Coleman will be mixed in. However, none of them are going to have reliable value outside of McCaffrey for Sunday's Week 14 matchup.
San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman was added to their practice squad after being cut following the acquisition of Christian McCaffrey (knee). The 29-year-old has been there for several weeks, but because Elijah Mitchell (knee) suffered a knee injury, he could find himself back on the active roster. The team utilized Jordan Mason and fullback Kyle Juszczyk to spell McCaffrey after Mitchell went down, but they also have Tyrion Davis-Price, who was inactive on Sunday. With two young backs in the mix, it might make sense for the team to offer more snaps to the veteran, who is familiar with the system. Coleman is currently someone to keep on your radar as a potential stash in deeper leagues.
San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman was released by the organization on Tuesday. This shouldn't come as a surprise after the recent addition of Christian McCaffrey. Coleman had 12 rushing attempts for 26 yards and one touchdown in four games with the 49ers. The 29-year-old has put together some fairly productive seasons in the past. Coleman should be able to find himself another landing spot. However, his fantasy value will depend on his role, which likely won't be significant.
San Francisco Promotes Tevin Coleman To The Active Roster
San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has been promoted to the active roster. In a corresponding move, the team also re-signed Marlon Mack to their practice squad. The veteran running back recently spent time on the team's practice squad but found himself active for last week's 37-15 win over the Carolina Panthers. Coleman took advantage of the opportunity, rushing for 23 yards on eight attempts and found the end zone twice. With Elijah Mitchell (knee) out for another few weeks, the 49ers wisely added Coleman to their active roster. The veteran running back is worth adding in deeper leagues, especially given Jeff Wilson Jr.'s injury history.
49ers Promote Willie Snead IV, Tevin Coleman To Active Roster
The San Francisco 49ers promoted wide receivers Willie Snead IV and Malik Turner and running back Tevin Coleman from the practice squad to the active roster for Monday night's game against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Snead and Turner will be battling for a depth role among the likes of Jauan Jennings and Ray-Ray McCloud behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk on Monday night. Meanwhile, Coleman will provide depth to a banged-up Niners backfield with Elijah Mitchell (knee) on Injured Reserve and rookie Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) out for another week. Jeff Wilson Jr. will remain the team's primary back against the Rams, with rookie Jordan Mason and Marlon Mack behind him.
The San Francisco 49ers have signed veteran running back Tevin Coleman to their practice squad. Coleman, who was most recently a member of the New York Jets, previously played for head coach Kyle Shanahan on both the 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons when Shanahan was the offensive coordinator. The team also elevated Marlon Mack to its active roster on Tuesday, so Coleman is likely just a depth signing given the injuries sustained by San Francisco's running back room. Jeff Wilson Jr. and Jordan Mason are expected to handle the majority of the work until Elijah Mitchell (knee) and Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) return.
The New York Jets released running back Tevin Coleman on Tuesday, according to sources. Coleman was never going to enter the 2022 regular season with much of a role behind Michael Carter and rookie Breece Hall, but he lost out on the competition to be the No. 3 back. Ty Johnson and rookie Zonovan Knight will now be battling for No. 3 duties behind Carter and Hall to open the regular season. In his lone season with the Jets in 2021, Coleman had 84 carries for 356 yards and no touchdowns, adding 11 receptions (16 targets) for 49 yards in 11 games (five starts).
Tevin Coleman Activated From Non-Football Injury List
New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman (illness) was activated from the non-football injury list on Wednesday. The veteran was expected to be the team's No. 1 option out of the backfield last season. However, he played only 11 games and finished with a miserable 305 yards off 84 attempts. With the Jets taking Iowa State's Breece Hall in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Coleman will primarily battle Michael Carter for the backup spot, although the latter appears to have the edge. Ty Johnson (hamstring) and La'Mical Perine will also be hunting for snaps this year, so Coleman's fantasy stock may arguably be at the lowest point of his career.
The New York Jets activated running back Tevin Coleman, tight end Tyler Kroft and defensive lineman Quinnen Williams from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Coleman missed the Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but will be available for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. It's notable with Michael Carter (concussion) up in the air to play after suffering a head injury that knocked him out of the game in the first half last Sunday. The 28-year-old Coleman could be New York's featured back if Carter doesn't clear the league's COVID protocols, but Ty Johnson and Austin Walter would also likely be involved, and the matchup against Buffalo's tough defense isn't the greatest.
