Jonah Coleman "Squarely" in Broncos' Backfield Rotation
ESPN's Jeff Legwold writes that rookie fourth-round running back Jonah Coleman is "squarely" in the team's backfield rotation and "will get plenty of work" in his first NFL campaign. Coleman only had one 13-yard run in the preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons, and that was all head coach Sean Payton needed to see. The 23-year-old product of the University of Washington could eventually be a three-down back in Denver, but for now, he will open his rookie campaign as a powerful change-of-pace back alongside the oft-injured J.K. Dobbins and second-year back RJ Harvey, who will most likely be the team's preferred third-down option. It is hard to say exactly how this three-headed backfield will shake out for the Broncos, but if Dobbins misses more time with injury in 2026, Coleman could become an every-week flex option, at the very least. In standard 12-team fantasy leagues, Coleman may go undrafted, but he will surely become a popular waiver-wire pickup if one of Dobbins or Harvey gets hurt at any point. RotoBaller has Coleman ranked as the RB52 for now.
