Rostered in only 35% of Yahoo leagues despite leading Broncos in scrimmage yards, touches, and routes run in Week 7. Coleman received 11 of 14 touches after Dobbins' first three carries in the game. Shawn Payton said post-game 'Got to get him more touches,' signaling intent to increase his role. Coleman is the most likely back to emerge in Denver backfield if condensed to one player; Payton connection suggests upside if he becomes the primary back. Broncos backfield averages 23.7 fantasy points per game, providing floor even in split role. Preferred waiver wire target over Saints running backs despite Saints RBs ranking top 30 weekly due to position scarcity.PositiveUsageSep 22, 2026
