Running Back Rank: #43
Overall: #129
Coffee gives the 49ers some punch at running back. The rookie back could be a nice compliment to Frank Gore. He is a physical runner that isn't afraid to run over would-be tacklers. Coffee also has pretty good speed for a back with his size. He does a good job of hitting the hole quickly. Coffee has an upright running style, though, which can lead to injury. He should be the top backup to Frank Gore this season and get plenty of chances in a run-heavy 49ers offense.

| Coffee has some potential. Gore is still the lead back, but Coffee could still get double-digit carries per game as the 49ers go with more of a two-back approach this season. Coffee is worth a shot as a No. 3 or 4 back for fantasy teams. He can get around 600 total yards and a few scores. |
