PositiveSleeperJul 24, 2026
JJ Zachariason identifies Jonah Coleman as a swing-for-the-fences pick at ADP (10th-12th round in home leagues) as Denver's replacement for RJ Harvey. Coleman averaged 6.8 yards per carry at age 20 at Arizona and recorded 80 catches over three college seasons with 1.7 yards per route run in his final year (second in class behind only Jeremiah Love). Coleman likely won't produce immediately but represents a worthwhile bench stash given his profile and draft cost.

JJ Zachariason is "on an island" with Jonah Coleman, who is underrated in best ball despite being a backup to both JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey. Coleman is a jack-of-all-trades (early down, pass catching, pass pro) who provides stability in an offense with an injury-prone veteran (Dobbins) and volatile second-year back (Harvey). Zachariason expects Coleman's ADP to rise once beat reporters report first-team mixing, as he could see 5–7 touches per game and has multiple contingent outs if either Dobbins or Harvey gets hurt. In season-long, he's only draftable in deep-bench situations, but in best ball he's underrated.

Coleman backs up both running back and pass-catching roles in Denver's three-headed backfield; he proved in college he can play as a three-down guy and can also be a bruiser with potential goal-line work if Dobbins faces injury concerns. JJ Zachariason views him as a late-round value play (15th-16th round on DraftKings) with multiple contingent upsides: if either Dobbins or Harvey gets hurt, Coleman becomes a 10+ touch-per-game player. Coleman's college receiving totals exceeded RJ Harvey's in each of his last two years, and his adjusted receiving numbers in the ZAP model show him as better than Harvey from a receiving standpoint; he excels at cutbacks and can line up in both run and pass situations, which fits Sean Payton's scheme.

JJ Zachariason's highest exposed player on draft right now. His thesis: Denver viewed JK Dobbins as durable-limited and one-dimensional (non-pass-catcher), so they're investing in Jonah Coleman as a complementary back who can handle pass-catching duties and red-zone work. Coleman was unreliable last year (one of worst in rushing yards over expected per attempt) but Zachariason sees him as the lead-back candidate going down the stretch if he proves reliable, with potential to split work with RJ Harvey.

JJ Zachariason views him as a late-round value play (15th-16th round on DraftKings) with multiple contingent upsides: if either Dobbins or Harvey get hurt, Coleman becomes a 10+ touch-per-game player. Coleman is very good at cutbacks and can line up on the field without telegraphing run or pass, which fits Sean Payton's scheme; he also had more college receptions in each of his last two years than RJ Harvey and grades better than Harvey in adjusted receiving metrics.

JJ Zachariason's highest exposed player on draft is Jonah Coleman. His thesis: Denver evaluated JK Dobbins as durable-limited and one-dimensional (non-pass-catcher), so they're positioning Coleman to potentially take over the lead role down the stretch. Coleman was unreliable last year (one of the worst in rushing yards over expected per attempt) but could still see red zone and gadget usage; however, Zachariason sees a path for Coleman to emerge as the lead back if Dobbins falters, making him a high-upside target in best ball.
