Coleman established as lead back over Dobbins with strong Week 8 usage; viable RB2.

In Week 8's first look at the Coleman/J.K. Dobbins backfield, Coleman took control as the lead back with a clear edge over Dobbins in snaps (38 to 12), carries (11 to seven), routes (16 to two) and targets (5 to zero). The rookie turned 15 touches into 104 yards and one touchdown. While there's a risk that Dobbins could earn back a larger share and RJ Harvey will have a substantial role as a pass catcher once healthy, Coleman's Week 8 usage and strong overall play suggests he's safely atop the depth chart for now. He's a viable fantasy RB2 against a Panthers defense that has allowed the second-most touchdowns (11) and fantasy points to RBs.
