It might be hard to remember, but Coleman was off to a terrific start to his rookie season. Back in Week 2, he finished their game against the Baltimore Ravens with five receptions, 102 yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately for Coleman and fantasy owners, Coleman broke his hand in practice before their Week 3 game.

Now, Coleman is just about back to 100 percent and should suit up and start as the Browns No. 2 wide receiver opposite of Terrelle Pryor. The Browns Week 9 game is against the Dallas Cowboys who just lost their starting cornerback Morris Claiborne and safety Barry Church both to injuries this past week against the Philadelphia Eagles. With the Cowboys secondary as vulnerable as ever, Coleman has a good chance to get open for some big plays. Not to mention, the Browns will more than likely be trailing in this game and will be forced to throw a lot.

Remember that big game I mentioned Coleman had back in Week 2? That came with Josh McCown under center who just returned to the Browns starting lineup last week. All of these factors make Coleman a solid plug and play for owners in their FLEX spot.
