Running Back Rank: #174 Overall: #741
Coffee didn't show a whole lot his rookie season. He got a few starts early in the year because of injury, but averaged less than three yards per carry for the season and his season high for rushing was 74 despite having double-digit carries three times. Coffee is a big, physical back, but lacks some speed and doesn't do a great job of making tacklers miss in space. He still has a chance to be the top backup in San Francisco, but the 49ers don't seem sold on him playing a huge role with the team.

| San Francisco 49ers RB Glen Coffee announced he was moving on from football Friday, Aug. 13, reports CSNBayArea.com's Matt Maiocco. 'This has been a tough decision for me to make, but at this time in my life I feel it is best for me that I move on from football,' Coffee said in a statement released through the 49ers. 'I appreciate what the 49ers, my teammates and coaches have done for me, and I wish them a blessed season and all the best in the future.' Coffee was competing for the backup job behind RB Frank Gore. He added 17 pounds while remaining in the Bay Area for the entire offseason to prepare for this season. |
| Fantasy Impact: This is a big surprise. Move Anthony Dixon up your rankings some as he should open the season as Frank Gore's top backup. |

| Fantasy Impact: Not sure why the high praise for Coffee, who wasn't great last year but Dixon seems to have an uphill battle for the No. 2 job. |
