STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Coleman positioned as three-down back with Harvey out; ranked RB23 in projections.

Coleman returned from a four-game absence in Week 7 and immediately stepped into a meaningful role, playing 50% of offensive snaps and handling 41% of rushing attempts including 100% of short-yardage opportunities. With RJ Harvey ruled out for Week 8 vs. the Chiefs, Coleman is positioned to expand his workload as the more natural fit for pass-catching duties (36% TPRR vs. Dobbins' 22%), while also appearing to have overtaken Dobbins as the primary ball carrier (Dobbins played just 21% of snaps and 27% of rushing attempts last week, both season lows). This creates a scenario where Coleman could function as a legitimate three-down back in Week 8.
