George Winkler Start 49ers RB Glen Coffee vs. the Rams The bye weeks are upon us, and fantasy owners are looking for an edge. A perfect candidate to plug in this week is 49ers running back Glen Coffee. With Frank Gore expected to miss three weeks because of an ankle strain, the 49ers will turn over their running game to the rookie out of Alabama. This is a significant move because San Francisco is a run-heavy team under coach Mike Singletary. Look no further than last week against the Vikings to see how dedicated the 49ers are to their running game. They gave Coffee 25 carries despite him gaining only 54 yards. Expect the Niners to do better this week against the Rams, who are ranked 27th in the NFL against the run with 148 yards allowed per game. San Francisco doesn't plan to call up a backup off its practice squad, so the running game will be Coffee's almost exclusively.
