Derrick

Coleman

An undrafted free agent out of UCLA, Coleman could take the ball just 50 yards on 19 preseason carries. Elimimian is a former CFL standout, but was slowed by a hamstring injury. A long-time practice-squad player in Chicago, Horn might be at the end of the line.

The charges are from an October accident. Coleman could face 12-14 months jail time if convicted. A fringe starter, there hasn’t been any interest in Coleman this offseason. His legal troubles have his career in doubt.

Coleman was arrested for felony hit-and-run charges in October. He’s eligible to return Week 10, but there’s no interest in him. Coleman’s NFL career is likely over.

Slapped with a four-game ban stemming from a 2015 hit-and-run car accident, Coleman spent 2016 out of the league. Going on 27, Coleman has never been a terribly effective lead blocker. He will apparently compete with 2016 UDFA Soma Vainuku.

It’s a quiet list for this time of year. Will Tukuafu will clear running lanes in the absence of Coleman.

It’s another testament to the uncertainty in Seattle’s decimated running game. Expect the Seahawks to continue to lean on white-hot Russell Wilson’s arm to generate offense against the Browns’ porous pass defense this week.

Kapadia cautions Brown is far from a sure thing but said he “should get the first shot at carrying the load.” Christine Michael would be the next logical option, but Kapadia believes it is possible he is not even active for Week 15. Fred Jackson will handle third-down work, and Derrick Coleman is unlikely to be heavily involved. Brown is the only option worth using in must-win situations, and he is a risky RB3/FLEX option at best.

Carroll added, “You’ll find out at game time how we’re going to do it.” With Fred Jackson also in the mix on third downs, this is shaping up as a nightmare situation for fantasy owners. Scout.com’s Rob Rang expects the Seahawks to use a “hot hand” approach, and Carroll also hinted that would be the plan. Brown should get the first shot to develop the “hot hand,” but how the carries are divvied up after that is anyone’s guess. Brown is a risky FLEX play while Michael and Coleman are too unpredictable to use in a must-win situation.

Coleman started the game but was quickly jumped by both Christine Michael and Bryce Brown, who simply have more juice in their legs than the fullback. Coleman did not have a carry after the first quarter. He does not need to be owned in any format.

Coleman left the scene of an accident which left another motorist with head injuries and a broken collarbone. He was found two blocks from the crash. The police allege Coleman smoked synthetic marijuana before the accident, and an open bag of “synthetic cannabinoids” was found in the car. Coleman’s agents released a statement shortly after the accident claiming Coleman had simply fallen asleep and left the scene because he was disoriented. The case has now been turned over to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to determine if Coleman will be charged. That process could take several weeks. Coleman was suspended one game by the Seahawks for the incident, and he will likely face more punishment from the league once the legal process plays out.
