Fantasy Football: Handcuffs are quickly emerging Week 2 theme

Are you into handcuffs in fantasy football? They're not for everyone, but they are quickly becoming a dominant trend in Week 2.

An injury to the left knee of Devonta Freeman — the same balky knee that forced him to miss two games in the thick of a playoff chase last season — will sideline the NFL's highest-paid running back drafted prior to 2015. That means Tevin Coleman enters a prime opportunity not only to get Atlanta off the schneid when the Panthers claw their way into town Sunday but find a new gear early on in his contract season as he seeks his own big payday.
